This week we’re diving into one of the BIG questions that comes with an ADHD diagnosis: “Do I go down the meds route, or not?”
Whether you’re fresh from diagnosis, still in the “do I / don’t I?” limbo, or simply curious about how ADHD medication actually works, this episode’s for you.
Here’s what we cover: ✨ Why the meds-or-no-meds question feels so loaded ✨ What ADHD meds actually do (and what they don’t!) ✨ My own titration journey (the wins, the wobbles, and the hormone curveballs) ✨ How your cycle can impact how meds feel + a free tracker to spot patterns ✨ Things to consider if you’re sitting on the fence ✨ Alternatives and complements to meds — from coaching to oils
💡 Spoiler: This isn’t about “right or wrong.” It’s about tools — and you get to decide which ones work for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
