I’ve never had ADHD coaching and I’ve been skeptical. In this episode, coach and author Owen Ryan joins me for an honest, no-BS conversation about living (and working) with ADHD when labels, routines and tidy tips don’t cut it. We get into time blindness, fixation (hello, Downton Abbey), emotional “crashes,” partner dynamics, and why laughter gives a needed dopamine lift. Owen talks through his person-first approach (not condition-first), how he moved from media into coaching and veterans’ support, and a simple idea that landed for me: find a weekly rhythm, not a rigid routine. If you’ve ever wondered what ADHD support could look like without the hype, or you just want practical ways to turn down the noise, this one’s for you.

Try the mini-experiment we set: track your week for two weeks, notice your natural energy “rhythm,” then design to it.

Note: This is a personal conversation, not medical advice.
