Living with ADHD can often feel like a roller coaster ride, with moments of unfiltered joy and the struggle of masking one's true self. In this episode, Michelle and Megan, two sisters living with ADHD, share their personal experiences, challenges, and the humor that comes with navigating life with ADHD. They discuss the spontaneous outbursts and social faux pas that are part of living with ADHD, all while striving for self-acceptance in a world that often expects conformity.

Get ready to chuckle as Megan shares her side-splitting “wedding goo cakey” moment, a phrase that took on a life of its own and kept her loved ones entertained for hours. Listen in on our heartfelt discussion about finding balance between being true to oneself and adapting to different social norms, and why it’s okay to be a bit much sometimes. Whether you’ve missed an unguarded comment or find yourself shouting “Denny’s!” with childlike enthusiasm, this episode is a reminder that life with ADHD is a wild ride, but it's never boring and always full of love and laughter.
