About this listen

 ADHD isn’t just a diagnosis; it’s a way of seeing the world.

I'm a neurodivergent creative, and I'm teaming up with my neurotypical sister to unpack the chaos of ADHD, mental health, big feelings, and the wild ride of living with a spicy brain. Whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in the neurospicy trenches, or just trying to make sense of someone you care about, we hope you’ll leave every episode feeling a little more seen and a little less alone.

Here, we mix sister talk with ridiculous stories.
Here, we break down how ADHD physically and emotionally feels in the body.
Here, we laugh our way through the sometimes messy (and wildly creative) ways neurodivergence shows up in real life.

We believe you don’t have to “fix” your brain to feel better. This is your reminder that being wired differently doesn’t mean being broken. We’re in it with you. Our podcast is funny, honest, and probably the most validating train wreck you'll listen to this week.

    Welcome to the vibrant world of ADHD, as seen through the unique lens of sisters Michelle and Megan. In this inaugural episode, they delve into the emotional terrain of ADHD, sharing stories that are as amusing as they are touching, and as deeply human as they are relatable.From Megan’s epiphany about stickers being the only things that don’t demand anything from her, to memories of that one warm bucket she never wanted to leave, this episode explores the magic of creating safe, judgment-free spaces. But it's not all serious-there's plenty of humor to be found in these stories, as they reflect on masking, burnout, and what it means to be loved without needing to perform.favorite line from the episode: “But they don’t require me to be anything.”00:00 sticker books and sensory refuge06:25 the pink bucket memory11:40 schoolyard weirdness and masking17:05 why ADHD doesn’t run on time21:10 finding creative outlets26:15 what it means to feel safe being yourselfadhd, adhd women, masking, sensory overload, burnout, childhood memories, neurodivergent identity, safe spaces, emotional regulation, sister podcast
