ADHDtime

I’ve been following McCabe How to ADHD YouTube channel for years and recommending it to clients. I’ve also really enjoyed her book, How to ADHD. So when she reached out to interview me for her next book about life transitions, I was genuinely touched.

Life transitions are a topic I care deeply about. I talk often about how, when life changes, our ADHD strategies and support need to change too. Having the opportunity to contribute to Jessica’s exploration of that topic meant a great deal to me.

I was equally grateful when she agreed to join me on ADHDtime on Air. This conversation is one of my favorites.

We talked about how How to ADHD began, what becoming a mother taught Jessica about her own needs, and why preparing for a change doesn’t always mean knowing where we’ll struggle. I appreciated how openly she shared her experiences, including the support she needed when things became difficult.

A question worth asking during a transition is: What has changed in my life, and does the support I have still fit?

I hope you’ll enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with her.

Life changed. Now what?

A new job, a move, parenthood, or retirement can leave us wondering why the ADHD strategies we relied on no longer seem to help.

I was especially excited to talk with Jessica McCabe, creator of How to ADHD, about this on ADHDtime on Air.

Jessica shares what becoming a mother taught her about her own needs, why there’s no “magical unicorn tool” for ADHD, and how community, routines, and support help her navigate everyday challenges.

We also talk about finding your “flotation devices”: the people, tools, and supports that help you stay afloat during a transition. And Jessica offers a sneak peek at her next book, including how our earlier conversations helped shape a chapter on this topic.

One question I hope you’ll take away: “What can we do now?”

YOU CAN’T DO IT ALL. 💜

Who remembers that the detergent is running low, the school form is due, and someone needs a ride next week?

The planning and remembering behind everyday life can be exhausting, especially when that work goes unnoticed.

In this week’s ADHDtime on Air, I’m joined by Dr. Regina Lark to talk about women, ADHD, and emotional labor. We explore ways to make invisible work visible, share household responsibilities, and let go of the pressure to do everything perfectly.

One idea I loved: sharing the work means sharing the noticing and planning, too.

We also talk about accepting “good enough,” delegating, and finding community support. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Hello, October! 💜 ADHD Awareness Month is here.

I’d love to see more curiosity, more understanding, and more room for the different ways ADHD shows up in our lives.

Let’s start a conversation: what’s one thing you wish people understood about your experience with ADHD?

Why can it be so hard to let go of our stuff when we have ADHD?

“I might need it someday.”
“I could sell it.”
“Someone gave this to me.”
“What if I forget the memory if I let go of the object?”

In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I talk with Jami Shapiro about ADHD, our relationship with our belongings, and what happens as we get older.

We talk about decision paralysis, emotional attachment, memory, guilt, “someday” thinking, and why Jami prefers the idea of right-sizing rather than downsizing.

But this conversation goes beyond clutter. We also talk about ADHD and aging, planning for life transitions, and creating systems that work for the person you are today while taking care of your future self.

I was so happy to join Brandon Ward on the Test Kitchen podcast!

We talked about ADHD, prospective memory, working memory, forgetting names, missed appointments, laundry that never quite reaches the dryer, and the gap between intending to do something and actually doing it.

I also shared some of my personal journey with dyslexia, my ADHD diagnosis, and how I found my way into memory research.

Thank you, Brandon, for such a thoughtful and engaging conversation.

ADHD looks different in women, and too many women are still overlooked, misunderstood, or diagnosed later in life.

In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, an award-winning clinical psychologist, author, and longtime leader in the field of ADHD in girls and women.

We discussed why girls and women often go unnoticed, the enormous effort that can go into masking and compensating, and why meaningful ADHD support must look beyond a checklist of symptoms.

Our conversation also explores:

• How our environment can intensify or reduce ADHD-related challenges
• Practical ways to simplify daily life
• Why treatment should focus on quality of life
• The importance of movement, connection, and community
• The need for better professional training in ADHD across the lifespan

We also talked about her new book, A Clinician’s Guide to ADHD in Women: Diagnosis and Treatment, written with Patricia Quinn, MD, and Michael Morse, MD.
