Have you ever had someone you love say, “You never listen to me” and the hardest part was knowing they were kind of right? Not because you don’t care, but because your brain was somewhere else entirely?

In this episode, Jorie breaks down how ADHD shows up in your relationships, from the invisible load of forgotten conversations and mental load imbalance, to the emotional minefield of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, to the real, honest conversations you need to have with the people you love. This isn’t about making excuses. It’s about getting the clarity you need to show up differently.

Jorie also introduces her “Name It, Own It, Solve It” framework for communicating about your ADHD with your partner, your family, and your friends in a way that takes ownership and invites understanding.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much” or “not enough” in your relationships, this one is for you.
