About this listen

In this chaos-fueled episode of Squirrels, Side Hustles, and Sippy Cups, Donny spirals through some of the most hilariously painful realities of living with an ADHD brain—starting with rage-fueled shame cleaning, sliding straight into accidental obsessions (like why his forks don’t match), and crashing face-first into the emotional void that sometimes follows success.

He explores what it feels like to “win” and still feel like you’re failing, how to navigate the guilt of leaving projects unfinished, and why you don’t need balance—you need rhythm.

And because Sandra told him to, the episode closes with two deeper, surprisingly heartfelt sections: one on how to actually find your own talents when you feel mid at everything, and another on how to stay on track even when your brain wants to set fire to the whole to-do list.

If you’ve ever shame-cleaned your house at 2am, researched something completely useless instead of working, or wondered if you’ll ever feel like “enough,” this episode was made for you.

Episodes drop with coffee-fueled wisdom, ADHD panic, and squirrel-level energy. New episodes every week.
