Why Pricing Feels So Hard

Curious why pricing feels so difficult? Explore the decisions behind confident pricing.

"Medication is the most powerful tool we have for ADHD that everyone is scared of." — Dr. Ed Hallowell

Episode 3 of our ADHD series tackles the topic everyone wants to know about but is afraid to ask: medication. Kelly Brändli breaks down the myths, the science, and what actually happens in your brain.

What You'll Learn:

1. Stimulants vs. non-stimulants: What's the actual difference? (Hint: it's about dopamine vs. norepinephrine)
2. Why giving a hyperactive kid a stimulant actually CALMS them down
3. The "Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes" analogy—and how meds give you brakes
4. Why 29 different ADHD medication options exist (everyone metabolizes differently!)
5. The 80/20 rule: 80% respond to stimulants, 20% need non-stimulants

Myth Busted: If medication changes your personality, it's the wrong dose, wrong medication, or wrong timing. You should still be YOU—just with better brakes.

The Three-Legged Stool of ADHD Management:

1. Medication
2. Coaching/Therapy
3. Lifestyle (sleep, exercise, diet)

Real Talk: Kelly's family tried 6-7 different medications before finding what worked. It's a process—don't give up after one try.

Coming Up: Episode 4 covers ADHD hacks and relationship tips!

You've taken the online quizzes. You've seen yourself in every TikTok. You're 97% sure you have ADHD... but now what?

In Episode 2 of our ADHD series, Kelly Brändli breaks down the entire testing and diagnosis process—from self-assessment to sitting in the psychiatrist's office.

What You'll Learn:

1. First step: Take a proper self-assessment (Kelly recommends ADHD UK's website)
2. What separates "everyone loses their keys" from actual ADHD: the 96th percentile rule, 6+ months of symptoms, impact in 2+ life areas
3. Why wait times are brutal (9-18 months in Switzerland/UK)
4. The emotional rollercoaster of adult diagnosis: relief vs. "Why didn't anyone catch this?"
5. What testing actually looks like: questionnaires, cognitive exercises, clinical interviews

Real Talk: Megan realized at 39 she'd been self-medicating with caffeine for years. When she quit? Her brain went haywire. Danna cried at her diagnosis, remembering every time she was called "lazy."

Key Takeaway: Don't wait for official diagnosis to get help—you can work with an ADHD coach while you're on that 12-month wait list.

Got it! Here's the title and show notes:

Wait, I Have THAT Too?! The Signs of ADHD Nobody Talks About ft. Kelly Brändli

Three women with ADHD walk into a podcast booth... and somehow actually finish recording an episode. 🎉

This is Episode 1 of our deep-dive ADHD series with Kelly Brändli, ADHD and relationship coach, mom of two ADHD boys, and partner to a late-diagnosed man. Kelly joins your favorite ADHD hosts (yes, both Megan AND Danna have it) to decode what ADHD actually is—and bust the myths you probably still believe.

What You'll Learn:

1. ADD vs. ADHD: There's literally no difference (and why they used to call it "minimal brain dysfunction"... ouch)
2. The three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive, and combination
3. Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD): Why that email from your coworker feels like a personal attack
4. The eight areas of executive function—and why "you've met one person with ADHD, you've met ONE person"
5. Why women get diagnosed at specific life stages: university, after having kids, and menopause (hello, estrogen-dopamine connection!)

The Stuff Nobody Tells You: Beyond the classic "can't focus" narrative, Kelly breaks down the overlooked symptoms: emotional dysregulation that looks like anger issues, not noticing you're hungry until you're starving, being "clumsy" all the time, not realizing how loud you're talking, and that mental hyperactivity that means your brain NEVER shuts up (Danna has 10 voices in her head at all times—most of them negative).

Real Talk Moment: "ADHD is not about the things you know, but not doing what you know." — Dr. Russell Barkley (This one hit different.)

Rapid Fire Myth Busting:

1. ❌ Kids with ADHD can't focus → They hyperfocus on things they love (have you seen an ADHD kid game?)
2. ❌ No hyperactivity = no ADHD → Nope, inattentive type exists
3. ❌ ADHD is caused by bad parenting → It's genetic, proven by millions of participants in studies
4. ❌ Stimulant meds lead to addiction → Actually, UNtreated ADHD increases addiction risk

Coming Up in This Series:

1. Episode 2: Understanding Testing & Diagnosis
2. Episode 3: ADHD Medication Deep Dive
3. Episode 4: Hacking Your ADHD Superpowers
