The AvyHD

Ever catch yourself yelling—not at someone, but toward them—because your emotions are just too big to hold in? I’ve been there, more times than I can count. This week on AVHD, I’m digging into what happens when our ADHD brains bring those messy, overwhelming feelings into our closest relationships.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

The difference between yelling toward vs. yelling at

How ADHD impacts emotional regulation and what that means for relationships

Practical ways to pause, process, and repair when things get intense

Big feelings are part of who we are, but they don’t have to define how we show up for the people we care about. It’s not about shutting those feelings down—it’s about learning how to navigate them in ways that strengthen connections.

The challenge this week? Take a pause the next time you feel those emotions bubbling over. Reflect on how you want to respond and let me know how it goes.

Listen to the episode now wherever you get your podcasts. Let’s figure this out together.

What’s the hardest part for you when it comes to managing emotions? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Episode 15: The Overcommitment Trap – Why I Say Yes to Everything (and How I’m Learning to Stop)

Hey squirrels! This week, I’m showing up messy and vulnerable to talk about something that hits way too close to home—overcommitment syndrome. If you’ve ever found yourself saying yes to everything only to feel crushed by the weight of it all, you are not alone. In this episode, I share my own stories, dive into why our ADHD brains thrive on saying yes, and how we can start breaking free from this cycle.

I’m not here for perfection—just progress. Join me for some real talk, a little humor, and a challenge to help us all pause before we pile more onto our already full plates.

The Hobby Graveyard

Finishing hobbies is overrated. Yep, I said it. ADHD brains are BUILT for curiosity and creativity, not boring rules about “completion."

This week, we’re ditching the guilt and celebrating our half-finished masterpieces. Let’s talk dopamine, ditch the shame, and embrace the chaos of our hobby graveyards.

We’ll talk about hyper-independence, perfectionism, and that lovely thing called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). I’ll also share the strategies I’ve learned to make delegation actually work, from building trust to creating ADHD-friendly systems that free up your time and energy. If you’re tired of doing it all on your own (or just need some encouragement), this episode is for you. Let’s move from overwhelm to empowerment together!

This week, I’m tackling a topic that’s all too familiar—our spaces. If your desk is a disaster, your kitchen feels like chaos, or your bedroom floor looks more like a closet, you’re not alone. I get it because I’ve been there too.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own messy journey and how I’ve learned to stop fighting against my ADHD tendencies. Instead, I’ve found ways to work with them. We’ll talk about practical tips for creating spaces that actually support you—from simple systems to cut down clutter to ADHD-friendly zones that make life feel a little easier.

This isn’t about perfection or impressing anyone else. It’s about giving yourself grace, finding what works for you, and creating a home that feels like a breath of fresh air. Let’s get real, get creative, and figure out how to make your space work for your unique brain.
