I Have ADHD
A podcast for adults with ADHD that mixes solo deep-dives, expert interviews, and practical, shame-free advice from a certified ADHD coach.
A mix of solo shows and long-form interviews designed for the ADHD brain. Solo episodes are often reactions to news, deep-dives on specific ADHD traits like ARFID or 'functional freeze', and practical advice. Interviews feature leading authors and psychologists in the ADHD space, whom the host treats with reverence while translating their work into actionable strategies for her audience.
“The show's power comes from the host's dual role as both a fellow ADHDer and a certified coach, creating a tone that is both highly empathetic and structured. Unlike purely academic or clinical podcasts, it directly addresses the emotional and functional challenges of adult ADHD with a signature opening: "medicated, caffeinated, regulated, and ready to roll."”

Her questioning aims to first establish foundational concepts for her audience (e.g., "Can you walk us through the characteristics of...") before moving to more personal reflections from the guest about their work's impact. She consistently acts as a translator, connecting the expert's high-level concepts directly to the lived experience and common struggles of her ADHD audience, often using metaphors to make ideas more accessible.
