ADHD brings a whirlwind of intensity, laughter, and unexpected brilliance and this episode is no exception. Join Michelle and Rosey, two sisters with a unique blend of humor, insight, and personal experience, as they dive into Rosey’s lifelong gift for puzzles: not just the cardboard kind, but the emotional and sensory ones, too.
From seeing patterns no one else can spot to misplacing her body mid-thrifting spree, Rosey unpacks the highs and lows of navigating ADHD in a world that isn’t always designed for neurodivergent minds. You’ll laugh as she describes the infamous carpet stain that looked like Africa, and feel a sense of connection as the sisters explore how hyperfocus, overwhelm, and childhood dynamics shaped their coping strategies.
