Replay of Ep. 27, in honor of Ned 💛
ADHD can feel like juggling emotions, burnout, and a whole lot of "Did I really just say that?" moments. In this replay episode, Michelle and Megan revisit the joy and cringe of being your full, unfiltered self in a world that’s always nudging you to mask. With warm humor and honest reflections, they explore what it means to embrace impulsive moments, not as mistakes, but as glimpses of your real, vibrant self.

From a surprise chant about wedding cake to the emotional toll of trying to tone things down for others, this episode is a love letter to anyone who's ever felt "too much." You'll laugh, reflect, and maybe even shout along with Michelle and Megan as they celebrate all the quirks that make ADHD brains shine.

Favorite line from the episode: “Wedding cake! Wedding cake! Wedding cake! …Wedding goo cakey!”
