ep 169: ADHD & Emotional Regulation: How the Media You Consume Shapes Your Brain


Listen Later

Is your algorithm making your ADHD worse?
🌪️ If your feed is full of intense drama, crime, or emotional chaos… it might be making it harder to regulate your emotions and focus. In this episode, I’ll help you understand how your content consumption is impacting your brain—and walk you through how to shift it gently, without deprivation or restriction. You’ll learn how to retrain your algorithm to actually support your goals (and your mental health) while still getting your dopamine needs met. 🧠💫

00:00 – You’re not doing everything wrong—you’re just stuck in a cycle
01:00 – How content loops impact ADHD thought patterns and mood
01:40 – Why dramatic content hooks ADHD brains—and how it backfires
03:15 – What to do instead (without quitting cold turkey)
04:00 – Using platforms like TikTok more intentionally
05:10 – What my current algorithm looks like + how I curated it
06:30 – Using your feed as a vision board for your future goals
07:40 – Small, doable actions that deliver better dopamine
08:30 – Why mindful content isn’t restrictive—it’s empowering
09:10 – Practical swaps that inspire real-life action

👀 This is exactly the kind of mindset shift we’ll be making inside The ADHD Consistency Collective—learning how to gently disrupt unhelpful patterns, reframe your habits, and create more intentional rhythms in your everyday life. If you want to feel more in control and less scattered, this work matters. 💛
