About this listen

Sometimes, ADHD doesn’t just cause delays it causes full-on system failure. In this short but honest update, Megan shares what happens when the to-do list becomes too much and your brain throws up that rainbow-colored spinning wheel of doom.
With an early morning road trip on the horizon, a mountain of last-minute tasks, and a strong desire to finish The Reluctant Traveler, Megan taps in with a solo message full of humor, vulnerability, and a reminder for all our fellow neurospicy friends: you are not broken.

This quick episode is a gentle nudge toward grace, rest, and letting go of perfection when life gets overwhelming. Because sometimes the win is just packing the snacks and making it to bed on time. (Or close to on time.)

Favorite line: “The rainbow spinny wheel is my brain right now.”
