Living with ADHD means navigating a swirl of impulsivity, emotional highs and lows, and the never-ending quest for balance. In this episode, Michelle and Megan, two sisters who have been living with ADHD for years, share personal stories of spontaneous decisions, executive dysfunction, and the comedy of trying to live an organized life with a very spicy brain.
From Megan’s unexpected new roommate (Mr. Pasta) to a growing collection of beautiful but unused calendars, the sisters bring their signature blend of insight and humor to the table. Whether it’s shoes that never make it to the closet or the chaos of impulse buys, this episode will leave you laughing, nodding, and maybe feeling a little more seen.
