About this listen

Living with ADHD means your senses often dial everything up to eleven especially when it comes to smell. In this episode, Michelle and Rosey share laugh-out-loud stories and real talk about navigating the world when overpowering scents can hijack your brain faster than you can say “not a friendly pear.”From childhood lotion trauma to middle school distractions, the sisters explore the emotional and social toll of sensory overload with humor and heart. Rosey paints a hilariously haunting picture of battling the “pear demon,” while Michelle provides practical survival strategies, empowering you to navigate your own challenges with confidence.favorite line from the episode: “It’s not a friendly pear.”00:00 demon pear attacks and scent overloads04:27 brain zombies and over-lotioned classmates08:40 coping when your nose ruins everything13:02 the social awkwardness of scent sensitivity17:11 can you live in a world that smells too much?20:00 small wins, big feels, and choosing joyadhd, adhd women, sensory overload, scent sensitivity, neurodivergent podcast, emotional regulation, masking, sibling banter, living with adhd, pear trauma
