In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, host Jami Shapiro welcomes executive function coach and ADHD expert @Sarah for an eye-opening conversation about executive dysfunction in older adults—a topic rarely talked about but incredibly important.

If you're over 50 and struggling with focus, organization, procrastination, or memory, this episode is for you. Jami and Sarah dive into the executive functioning challenges many adults face as they age, especially those living with late-diagnosed or overlooked ADHD.

Sarah explains what executive function really is—how it affects daily tasks like time management, impulse control, and decision-making—and why these issues often intensify with age. She also shares real-life examples, practical tools, and ADHD-friendly strategies for managing your home, work, and routines with more ease and confidence.

From using password managers and phone hacks to building simple, effective systems for staying on track, this episode is packed with supportive guidance. You’ll also hear how executive function coaching can help older adults reduce stress, increase productivity, and finally feel understood.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed in your 50s, 60s, or beyond—or supporting someone who is—this episode will show you that it’s never too late to understand your brain and thrive.
