Ep 9. Chatting ADHD and parenting with my husband (Sauna Session 1)


Listen Later

Welcome to the very first episode of Sauna Sessions! For this debut, I roped in my husband Ryan for a raw and unfiltered chat about ADHD, parenting, and everything in between.


In this episode, we call out some of the biggest myths about ADHD and dive into why chasing the right kind of engagement is key to managing distractions. Ryan gets real about his journey over the past few years, from tackling behavioral challenges to embracing progress over perfection.


We also dive into emotional regulation (hello, tantrums—ours and the kids’), the power of sitting with discomfort, and how those moments can actually spark creative solutions. And because no convo is complete without some practical tips, we share our favorite hacks for overcoming resistance—whether it’s getting yourself to work out or tackling that endless to-do list.


I know you’ll appreciate the awkwardness of figuring this all out as we go.


Grab your coffee (or your sauna towel) and join us for a heartfelt, messy, and insightful kickoff to Sauna Sessions!
