The ADHD Dopamine Collective with Rhonda Estling
Your Voice Belongs Here. We're building a space where real stores, lived experience, and honest expertise come together. Whether you've navigated ADHD as a woman, studied it, treated it, or built your career around it - we want to hear from you. Too many women have spent years not knowing why their brain works the way it does. Let's change that - one conversation at a time.

Youth sports can feel like one of the hardest things to navigate as a neurodivergent parent — especially when you're raising neurodivergent kids too. In this episode, I sit down with my go-to friend and resource, Chandran Lepel. She's a licensed therapist, former collegiate athlete, high school varsity coach, and mom of kids in the youth sports world — which gives her a lens almost no one else has.
We get into the idea o...
AI is not going to fix your ADHD, and the way most people are telling us to use it might actually make executive dysfunction worse. In this episode, Rhonda is walking through a third path between the AI is amazing and AI is ruining us camps — one rooted in how ADHD brains actually work.
You'll hear about scaffolding vs. substituting (a concept from education that changes how you engage with the tool), MIT Media Lab's 2025 cogn...
What if your kid's meltdown had nothing to do with behavior — and everything to do with an unmet need? In this episode, Rhonda sits down with Brett Welch, licensed therapist and parent coach at Sensitivity Is Strength Coaching, to talk about what it actually looks like to parent highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and PDA-profile kids in a world that wasn't built for them.
Brett brings 20+ years of experience as a school counsel...
You're not doing it wrong. You've just been working on the wrong piece of the system.
I had a conversation in my therapy office recently that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. A woman — smart, capable, doing the work — looked at me and said, "I feel like I'm doing something wrong." She'd read the books. Tried the hacks. Bought the planners. Was on TikTok and in the Facebook groups. And she still felt like she w...
In this episode, Rhonda sits down with Imani Harrison, LCPC — therapist, facilitator, and what she calls an "idea midwife" — for one of the most honest, winding, neurodivergent conversations we've had yet. Imani shares her journey from late ADHD diagnosis to full-on life overhaul: ending a marriage, dissolving a business partnership, letting go of a name she loved, and somehow landing in the most expansive season of her...
In this solo episode, Rhonda shares something she's spent over a decade refining: the clinical patterns she watches for in her therapy office that suggest a client may have more going on than anxiety or depression. Not diagnostic criteria. Not a checklist. Just the things that make her start asking different questions.
She covers chronic overwhelm, sensory concerns, the burnout cycle, emotional dysregulation in highly intelligent wo...
In the middle of the night in December 2018, a desperate mom of a toddler and a newborn took to Facebook looking for answers. That one post got 72 comments and changed the course of her family's life. In this first episode of The ADHD Collective, therapist and late-diagnosed ADHDer Rhonda Estling shares the story behind the podcast, why she's building a community for women who get it, and what she hopes this space will become.
In Th...
