Sometimes the ADHD brain just needs one magic word. In this episode, that word is Flap. Michelle and Megan dig into the hilariously effective power of made-up words, cheerleader chants, and bathroom anthems to snap out of overwhelm and find their way back to the task at hand. Whether it’s masking, burnout, or just trying to do the dang dishes, this episode is full of tiny tools that somehow manage to feel like big wins.

You’ll hear about Megan’s very official lanyard moment, what stadium sports have to do with laundry, and why naming your chaos can sometimes be the exact trick you need to move through it. If your ADHD brain likes a bit of play with its coping strategies, you’ll feel right at home.

Our favorite line from the episode is: BATHROOMS! Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
