From reminiscing about childhood antics like popcorn ceiling art to the hilariously candid moment of discovering “butt cheeks” on a stress ball, the sisters explore how they conquer everyday challenges with humor and resilience. Whether it’s strategizing through sound effects or inventing the “floss meditation method,” they offer a glimpse into their uniquely ADHD way of navigating life’s little surprises.
