In this episode, we’re unpacking 10 everyday ADHD experiences that are way more common than you might realise — from emotional whiplash and sensory sensitivities to hyper-fixations (hello, pickles and squirrels) and time dysmorphia. I’m sharing real-life examples (including some hilarious personal stories) to show you just how normal these struggles are when you have an ADHD brain.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in conversations, powered through life on caffeine and no sleep, or found yourself stuck in hyper-focus when you should be moving onto something else — this one’s for you.
✨ If you recognise yourself in these signs, Navigating Adult ADHD Membership was made for you. Inside the membership, we help you understand, manage, and thrive with your ADHD brain — turning all the self-awareness you’re gaining here into real, lasting change.
