Living with ADHD means your thoughts don’t always walk in straight lines they pirouette, tumble, and occasionally vanish mid-sentence. In this episode, Michelle, a seasoned ADHD advocate, and Megan, a professional storyteller, embrace the beauty of mental detours, exploring the emotional rollercoaster of overwhelm, masking, and the unspoken pressure to stay “on track.”

From moments of deep reflection to side-splitting tangents, this conversation captures the essence of ADHD storytelling. You’ll laugh when Megan’s sentence takes a scenic route through three metaphors before landing, and feel seen when Michelle lovingly declares, “My drift is the most drifty of all drifts.” Remember, there's always humor to be found in chaos.
