ADHD can turn the smallest everyday task into an emotional minefield, especially when you're being told to “just breathe.” In this episode, Michelle and Megan dive into the deep end of emotional regulation, burnout, and those wild moments when flexibility feels impossible. From pantry chaos to executive dysfunction meltdowns, this is a candid look at how ADHD brains navigate daily life.

You’ll laugh through Megan's cardboard debacle, feel seen during the rage-quit confession, and maybe even try the “dangling feet method” for calming your nervous system. This episode is a permission slip to be real, messy, and still totally lovable, even when your first instinct is to yell at a meditation app.
