ADHD doesn’t just show up in the mind it floods the senses, magnifies emotions, and sometimes turns a regular day into a full-blown adventure. In this episode, Michelle and Rosey unpack the curious tale of a bag full of light bulbs and what it says about managing overwhelm, masking, and glitch-prevention strategies that only make sense to a neurodivergent brain.

As Rosey shares her unexpected sensory hack and Michelle reacts with a mix of awe and amusement, the sisters explore what it means to live in a world that often feels too much too bright, too loud, too fast. It’s an honest, hilarious look at the small but mighty ways ADHD folks try to create comfort in chaos, and you'll feel a sense of connection through their personal stories.
