300th EPISODE, BABY!!!! Today, I’m sitting down with Maddie Novy, a teacher who also has ADHD, to talk about what it’s really like to juggle the demands of a classroom while managing this unique brain.

Maddie shares her story, including:

  • Her personal ADHD journey and how she’s handled medication ups and downs.
  • The challenges of planning and problem-solving as an educator (spoiler: it’s not easy!).
  • How perfectionism has shown up in her work—and what she’s doing to overcome it.
  • The art of staying emotionally regulated while working with kids who are full of BIG feelings.
  • If you’re an educator with ADHD, or just curious about how to thrive in a challenging profession with this diagnosis, you’re going to love this conversation. Maddie’s insight and encouragement will leave you feeling seen and supported.
