Welcome to the vibrant world of ADHD, as seen through the unique lens of sisters Michelle and Megan. In this inaugural episode, they delve into the emotional terrain of ADHD, sharing stories that are as amusing as they are touching, and as deeply human as they are relatable.
From Megan’s epiphany about stickers being the only things that don’t demand anything from her, to memories of that one warm bucket she never wanted to leave, this episode explores the magic of creating safe, judgment-free spaces. But it's not all serious-there's plenty of humor to be found in these stories, as they reflect on masking, burnout, and what it means to be loved without needing to perform.
