🧠 She was “attentive.” She was “quiet.” But she wasn’t actually there.
The feminine presentation of ADHD often slips through the cracks—because it’s not disruptive. In a system built to catch chaos, daydreamers go unnoticed. You’re praised for staying still… while your mind is a million miles away.💭

💥 A Damn Healthy Dose of Reframing 💥

What if ADHD stood for something empowering? In this mic-drop moment, Steev Hodgson shares the genius behind “A Damn Healthy Dose”—turning what we’ve been shamed for into something worth celebrating. Creativity. Spontaneity. Insight. 🔄✨

I am the co-host of a new series called “The Firesides” — I am VERY excited about it!! This past winter, I and my co-founder Aaron took eight ADHD Adults up into the Rocky Mountains for an ADHD Retreat. At the end, we filmed a series of interviews and a full group discussion.

⚔️ Zombies, self-advocacy, and… ADHD therapy?
In this clip, @doctorkilmer.bsky.social explains how Dungeons & Dragons can be more than just a game—it’s a therapeutic tool.

Whether it’s tabletop or video games,@doctorkilmer.bsky.social explains how gameplay taps into the ADHD need for novelty, mastery, and immediate feedback.

@doctorkilmer.bsky.social For years, ADHD research focused on white, cisgender men—leaving everyone else misdiagnosed, mislabeled, or completely overlooked. If you're BIPOC, femme-presenting, or primarily inattentive? The chances of being taken seriously drop fast.

For many ADHD brains, implicit prompts are like invisible speed bumps. You say, “Let’s collaborate,” but they hear a question mark—or miss it entirely. Then you get hit with, “Did you even ask me?” and suddenly it feels like a personal failing. 😬

💬 “You’re one of the most responsible students I’ve had… but also kind of lazy.”

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been hit with both praise and judgment in the same breath. 🙋‍♀️🙋

In this all-new episode, we sit down with Devin Pitts-Rogers—ADHD advocate, creative powerhouse, and our newest podcast host—to talk about misdiagnosis, rediscovering identity, and learning how to live in alignment with your brain. 💡🎤

❓Want to plan an adventure without the ADHD overwhelm?

Start small. You don’t need a 10-day itinerary or color-coded spreadsheet to make it happen. You need clarity and flexibility.

You don't need to mask to matter.

#FlashbackFriday on this 4th of July 🇺🇸—thinking back to another celebration of freedom: NeuroDiversion 2025 @neurodiversionevent.

Three days surrounded by ADHDers, autistic folks, and brilliantly wired minds who remind me what it means to be unapologetically yourself. 💡🔥

💬 “I need to do this differently.” That’s not an excuse—it’s awareness.

ADHD comes with interest-based attention—which can be a superpower for motivation. But when shame and late diagnosis enter the chat, it’s easy to start thinking, “I just can’t do this.”

💡 Acceptance isn’t just “I have ADHD.” It’s what that actually means. You might say “I accept my ADHD”—but do you accept the limits that come with it? Do you give yourself permission to stop trying to do everything alone? 🧠💬

🎬 “Anything but ADHD.”
That’s the working title of Jesse Sorensen’s documentary on late-diagnosed women—because when they seek help, they’re often told it’s anything but ADHD.
🙄 “It’s just hormones.”
😴 “You just need sleep.”
📓 “Try a better planner.”

✨ Different isn’t wrong—it’s original. Do it your way. 💥

💊 “Yeah, I cried the first time I took my ADHD meds.”

Because for the first time, things didn’t feel like a fight.
No mental tug-of-war. No paralyzing delay. Just… getting off the couch and doing the thing. 😭✨

Seriously—every meltdown, deadline panic, rejection spiral, and shutdown? You’ve made it through. You’re here. Breathing. Standing. Still going. 🧠🔥

Sometimes, ADHD brains need impenetrable truths to cut through the spiral. And this one? It hits every time.

After an ADHD diagnosis, you might expect clarity and relief—but for Kelly, what came first was grief. For the child she once was. For the support she never got. And for the world that still wasn’t built for her. 😔

In this all-new episode, we sit down with Kelly Baumgartner—ADHD Coach, content creator, and former elementary school librarian—to talk about getting her formal diagnosis at 30, learning to trusting your instincts, and building a career that fits your brain. 🌱📚
