ADHD isn’t always hyperactive it’s often deeply, achingly tired. In this episode, Michelle and Megan explore the emotional and physical exhaustion that can come with ADHD. From struggling to stay awake to feeling like every small task takes monumental effort, the sisters unpack what fatigue really feels like in a neurodivergent brain.

Through laughter, shared stories, and an unexpected cameo by a beloved stuffed llama, Michelle and Megan show how humor and compassion can be powerful tools in managing ADHD fatigue.
