Are you wondering how ADHD can impact intimate relationships and what unique challenges couples face when one or both partners have ADHD?

Are you curious about the difference between character traits and neurological wiring when it comes to forgetfulness, time blindness, and emotional connection?

Want to learn concrete ways to cultivate compassion and create systems of support in relationships touched by ADHD?

In this insightful episode of the Relationship Renovation Podcast, hosts Tarah and EJ Kerwin welcome special guest Alex Romo, LMSW and therapist, to dive deep into the lived experience of ADHD within relationships. Drawing from both his professional expertise and personal journey with adult ADHD diagnosis, Alex sheds light on how neurodivergence shapes communication, emotional intimacy, self-esteem, and day-to-day interactions between partners. The conversation thoughtfully unpacks misconceptions about ADHD as a “character flaw,” instead reframing it as a neurological difference that deserves curiosity and compassion from both partners.

Whether you’re newly navigating an ADHD diagnosis, suspect your relationship is impacted by undiagnosed ADHD, or simply want to foster greater empathy and understanding, this episode offers relatable stories, practical advice, and powerful encouragement. Discover how both partners can move from judgment to acceptance, create supportive systems together, and find empowerment in their unique strengths. Listen now to find out how ADHD can be a source of connection, growth, and deeper intimacy—not just frustration—in your relationship!
