  • ADHD Masking & Baby Steps to Unmask

    ADHD masking: it helps you fit in — but at what cost? In this episode, Sayaka and Anushka unpack the concept of masking with ADHD: what it is, why we do it, and how it slowly chips away at your identity, energy, and self-worth — especially for women and marginalised folks.

    Unmasking is scary — but it’s also the first step toward authenticity, self-acceptance, and less burnout.

  • An Intro to Dating with ADHD (Ghosting, Limerence & RSD)

  • Why Boredom Feels So Painful with ADHD (and What to Do About It)

We then explore ADHD-friendly strategies like pairing tasks, bilateral stimulation, and other boredom-busting tools for you to use.

    If you’ve ever spiraled in a moment of stillness or felt physically uncomfortable with “nothing to do,” this episode is your validation and your toolkit.
