Grandma Has ADHD

Episode 60 - “This Explains So Much: Understanding Undiagnosed ADHD”


Listen Later

What if one book could finally make sense of your lifelong struggles with clutter, focus, or follow-through?

In this special solo episode of Grandma Has ADHD, host Jami Shapiro shares insights and readings from her book, This Explains So Much: Understanding Undiagnosed ADHD for Those Who Have Too Much, Feel Too Much, or Have Been Told They Are Too Much.

What began as Jami’s personal discovery of ADHD at midlife became a mission to help others—especially women and adults over 50—understand that what they’ve blamed on “getting older” might actually be ADHD hiding in plain sight. Through her experiences as a senior move manager and founder of Silver Linings Transitions, she weaves together personal stories, client lessons, and heartfelt reflections on how ADHD shapes our homes, habits, and self-worth.

This episode is a glimpse into the heart of This Explains So Much—a compassionate, relatable guide for anyone who’s ever wondered why traditional systems never seem to stick. If you’re ready to replace shame with understanding and see your ADHD through a kinder lens, this one’s for you.


Episode Takeaway:

You don’t have to do it perfectly—you just have to start. ADHD after 50 isn’t a flaw; it’s a framework for understanding yourself in a brand-new way.
