Welcome back to the Chase Squirrelson Podcast—where curiosity meets compassion and real conversations help you understand yourself and others a little better.

Today, we’re talking dopamine, ADHD, oversharing, and the ways we sometimes chase connection… or chaos. What happens when the brain is wired to seek stimulation? How do those impulses affect relationships? And how do you slow things down before you’ve said—or done—too much?

Welcome to the very first episode of The Chase Squirrelson Show.

This podcast exists for the thoughts that don’t always get said out loud—the half-formed ideas, the internal questions, and the moments that shape us before we fully understand them. Created for people with ADHD (and those who live, work, or love someone who has it), this show is about reflection, honesty, and learning to navigate life without pretending we have it all figured out.

In this inaugural episode, you’ll meet Chase Squirrelson and get an unfiltered look at how ADHD shows up in his life. He shares personal stories, explores how his brain processes the world differently, and adds humor and perspective along the way. From distraction and hyperfocus to anger, time blindness, unfinished projects, and everyday mishaps, Chase opens the door to conversations many people with ADHD quietly carry.

This isn’t about fixing ADHD or offering answers—it’s about asking better questions, finding connection, and realizing you’re not alone. One conversation at a time.
