ADHD & Neurodiversity: The Spicy Brain Podcast

Ep. 42 — “The Kitchen is My Nemesis”: Is This a Cult... or a Strategy Revolution? Peek Inside ADHD Focus Sessions and Embrace the Chaos


Listen Later

ADHD minds are often swirling with emotions, burnout, and the pressure of masking as we navigate the ups and downs of everyday life. This week, Michelle and Megan dive into the delightfully weird world of neurodivergent focus sessions, where routines feel revolutionary and a little chaos is always welcome.

When Megan suddenly ghosts a phone call mid-session, Michelle is hilariously convinced she’s joined a cult. What follows is an on-air apology, a deep dive into accountability strategies, and some truly spicy insights into what makes focus sessions work for ADHD brains. If you’ve ever tried to out-organize your own brain or wondered if you accidentally started a movement—this episode is for you.

Favorite line from the episode: “I thought you’d joined a cult. I even had an apology drafted just in case!”
