What happens when two powerhouse ADHD mamas get together? Absolute chaos… but make it productive. In this episode of Chaos & Caffeine, I sit down with Jami Goldfarb Shapiro, host of Grandma Has ADHD, to talk about the wild ride of neurodivergence across generations. We’re spilling the tea (and coffee) on late diagnoses, breaking generational cycles, and what it really means to parent with ADHD while still figuring out your own brain.

Expect real talk, lots of laughs, and maybe a few ADHD tangents (because, obviously). Whether you’re a newly diagnosed parent, an ADHD grandma, or just wondering how the hell to keep it all together, this episode is for you.
