Ep. 78 — ADHD, Boundaries, and the Art of Letting Go: "We're the Boundary Buddies!"

Living with ADHD often means saying “yes” when you don’t mean to, overextending yourself emotionally, and struggling to know where you end and others begin. In this honest and heartfelt episode, Megan and Michelle dive into the chaos of building boundaries with ADHD, especially when you’ve spent years feeling responsible for everything and everyone.

Through laughter, lived experience, and a few “wild 24-hour” detours, they unpack what it means to slow down, reassess your limits, and protect your energy. From navigating relational guilt to the mental gymnastics of internalized expectations, the sisters talk candidly about why setting boundaries isn’t mean, it’s necessary.

Whether you're learning to say “no,” unsure where to even begin, or redefining what emotional responsibility shouldn’tfeel like, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and more equipped to draw the lines you need.
