Erections, testosterone, fertility, penis size—men’s health is full of myths, shame, and bad TikTok advice. In this episode, I sit down with Urologist Dr. Justin Dubin to cut through the noise and get real about what’s actually going on with male sexual health.

We talk about why erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign for bigger health issues, how testosterone really works (and what kills your sperm), what to know about Peyronie’s disease and penis pumps, and why shame keeps so many men from getting help.

This conversation is blunt, funny, and packed with facts your doctor probably hasn’t told you. If you or your partner have ever wondered what’s “normal,” this episode will change the way you think about men’s health.

If you’re an ADHD mom wondering why everything feels louder, harder, and more exhausting lately, then this one’s for you.

In this episode, Dr. Leann Borneman gets real about the absolute chaos of motherhood with ADHD, and why the invisible labor, relentless demands, and sensory overload aren't just “part of the job”, they’re a setup for burnout. And if you’re also in perimenopause? Buckle up, because the hormonal shifts do mess with your ADHD symptoms and regulation, even if the research hasn’t caught up yet.

We’re naming the rage, the noise, the overstimulation, and the deep, quiet guilt so many moms carry. This episode is validating, raw, and full of “oh my god, yes” moments, with some practical support to help you stop masking, start protecting your nervous system, and finally say, “this isn’t fine, and I’m not doing this alone".

Because the problem isn’t that you’re failing, it’s that the world expects you to mother like you’re not neurodivergent or hormonal.

And if you're looking for receipts, a new position paper published in July 2025 finally backs what we've been saying for years: hormonal fluctuations absolutely impact cognition, mood, and executive function. This peer-reviewed paper compiles extensive data to support the link between hormonal shifts and changes in ADHD symptom presentation across the lifespan.

What do you do when you realize you’re completely disconnected from your body, burned out, and expected to maintain a thriving sex life? In this episode, I sit down with psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author Dr. Kate Balestrieri to talk about her new book What Happened to My Sex Life?—a raw, real, and relatable exploration of desire, disconnection, resentment, and the slow road back to pleasure.

We talk about:

How burnout, patriarchy, ADHD, and resentment erode desire

What “reclaiming pleasure” really means (hint: it's not about lingerie and sex toys)

Why sex therapists aren’t immune to desire struggles

How to start reconnecting with your body without overwhelming yourself

The emotional labor and invisible scripts tied to heteronormative desire expectations

What it means to want intimacy but still feel "meh" about sex—and how that doesn’t make you broken

This one is honest, validating, and a powerful reminder that your sexuality isn’t gone—it might just be buried under all the bullshit.

In this no-BS solo episode, I dive headfirst into the relationship narrative that’s wrecking ADHD partnerships... the idea that "if you cared, you'd just show it."

You probably do care. Your executive function is just struggling with the neurotypical expectations attached.

I break down why ADHD brains struggle with “prioritizing” in the ways neurotypical society expects by explaining the real role of executive function barriers, environmental cues, and those WTF moments.

This episode is packed with:

Real talk about working memory, task initiation, and time blindness

ADHD-friendly ways to actually show up for your partner (without shame)

Why forgetting isn’t failing—and planning your love is still love

A solid reminder that intention does not equal execution, but both deserve compassion

Whether you’re the ADHD partner feeling like you're constantly falling short, or the one wondering why your person never “just remembers,” this episode is a must-listen.

Because your love is real.

👉 Share this with your partner (or therapist). Let’s rewrite what prioritizing love actually looks like for ADHD brains.

In this episode of ADHD Realities, Dr. Borneman sits down with Dr. Jessica McCarthy a licensed neuropsychologist and clinical psychologist, for a no-BS, deeply validating conversation about what it really means to live with ADHD in a world not designed for our brains.

Together, they unpack the messy middle between medical models and neurodiversity movements, and explore the danger of relying too heavily on diagnosis as identity. This isn’t just another “what is ADHD?” episode, it’s a raw, unscripted look at self-compassion, environmental disconnects, grief, and the hard truth that sometimes… effort alone isn’t enough.

Expect laughs, F-bombs, and real talk about:

Why the pendulum swing from pathology to “ADHD is a superpower” leaves people unsupported

The social media myths that do more harm than help

Diagnosing vs. functioning and what schools actually get right

The difference between support and avoidance

And how both professionals are navigating this in their personal lives too

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, long time late diagnosed, or just trying to figure out why nothing seems to “work”, this episode is your reminder that you’re not lazy, but there is work to be done in ways that work with our brains and the realities, not against them.

🎧 Grab your coffee, put your phone on do not disturb, and let’s get radically honest.

What if the systems we move through every day like school, work, life, were actually built to support the way our brains work, instead of working against us?

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and neurodiversity advocate Dave Thompson to unpack what real inclusion looks like in the workplace. From childhood diagnosis to system level change, Dave shares how his personal and professional experiences collided into a career focused on redesigning the workforce for neurodivergent success.

We talk about:

The emotional complexity of disclosure at work

Why accommodations aren't just for some people—they benefit everyone

How AI tools like ChatGPT can be liberating or limiting depending on who's steering the ship

And how Gen Z is forcing workplaces to finally catch up

This conversation isn’t just about jobs, it’s about dignity, autonomy, and building environments that actually work. Whether you're an ADHDer navigating the 9 to 5, a manager wanting to do better, or someone just tired of masking, this one’s for you.

Rebranding The Brain: Neurodiversity at Work | Dave Thompson | TEDxDanville

Ever felt totally in the mood... until your clean skin, mental fatigue, or the idea of grabbing the lube made your brain shut down? In this intimate solo episode, Dr. Leann Borneman dives deep into the real life overlap of ADHD, executive function shutdown, sensory overload, and the confusing disconnect between wanting sex and being able to access it.

This isn’t about low libido, it’s about bandwidth, task sequencing, overstimulation, and the environmental mismatch so many ADHDers face in the bedroom. With raw honesty, relatable humor, and practical strategies, this episode validates the “WTF is happening to me” moments and helps you reframe them with compassion, clarity, and collaboration.

Whether you're a therapist, a partner, or someone with ADHD trying to make sense of your own intimacy patterns, this one is for you.

ADHD Informed Bedroom Check In

If sex has ever felt like a confusing chore, a pressure-filled performance, or just… not designed with your brain in mind, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Leann Borneman sits down with bestselling author and sex therapist Dr. Laurie Mintz (📚 Becoming Cliterate, A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex) for a raw, hilarious, and deeply validating convo about orgasms, desire, and a little on how ADHD + sensory differences can shape our sexual experiences.

We tackle:

The orgasm gap and why it’s not your fault

The myth of "foreplay" and why it’s time to rewrite the script

Vibrators, high-vibration receptors, and the neuroscience of pleasure

ADHD overstimulation, sex paralysis, and the magic of planning without pressure

Responsive vs. spontaneous desire—and how most of us were never taught the difference

Whether you’ve faked it, avoided it, or felt broken for not wanting it—this episode flips the script and reminds you: pleasure should work for your brain, not against it.

👉 Listen in and give yourself permission to reimagine sex on your terms.

Why does receiving oral feel like work for so many vulva owners with ADHD? This episode unpacks it all: the sensory chaos, the internal monologue that won’t quit, the vulnerability overload, and the executive dysfunction that makes "just enjoy it" feel like a cruel joke.

I dive deep into:

How gender scripts, shame, and ADHD intersect in the bedroom

Why “let go and enjoy” is NOT trauma-informed advice

What overstimulation, masking, and delayed self-awareness look like during oral

Real talk on orgasm grief, communication challenges, and reclaiming your pleasure

If you’ve ever tapped out mid-oral because your nervous system was screaming louder than your partner’s praise, this one’s for you. You are not broken. Your brain just wasn’t designed for the script you’ve been handed.

Content note: This episode contains honest conversation, humor, and a whole lot of validation, but is not a substitute for therapy. Please work with a qualified professional if you're experiencing distress.

In honor of National Masturbation Month, we're getting real about how self-pleasure, stimulation, and sensory seeking show up in ADHD brains. This isn’t just about orgasms — it’s about regulation, shame, curiosity, and reclaiming your body on your terms. Whether you’re navigating sensory overload, executive dysfunction, or internalized judgment around pleasure, this short episode breaks down why masturbation can be a form of self-care, not self-indulgence.

We’ll unpack the overlap between stimming and sexual touch, how ADHD impacts self-exploration, and why some of us struggle to even initiate solo time. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, disconnected, or unsure of your pleasure patterns, you’re not alone — and you’re definitely not broken.
