Overcoming The Wall of Awful with Brendan Mahan
Hacking Your ADHD
Hey Team! This week I got a chance to catch up with my good friend Brendan Mahan and talk with him about his upcoming book, Overcoming the Wall of Awful. Brendan is one of the first people I got to know in the ADHD space and I feel lucky to have done so because for one he’s just an awesome guy, but also because his approach to ADHD has always just felt so real and coming from a place of lived experience. Brendan is the host of the ADHD Essentials Podcast, a board member of the Men's ADHD Support Group and the Director of Professional Resources for Calmer Con: Boston - and also one of the few...

Automating Your ADHD Life Part 1 (Rebroadcast)
Hacking Your ADHD
We’re diving back into the vault today to bring you a foundational episode on one of my favorite ADHD strategies: Automation. We all know the struggle—if it’s interesting, we’re all in. If it’s boring? It’s nearly impossible to start. Because so much of "adulting" is inherently repetitive, automation allows us to frontload our work so our "future selves" don't have to rely on willpower alone. Top Tips from this Rebroadcast: Frontload your effort: Save time and brainpower by making decisions once and letting tech handle the rest. Systematize first: Learn why...

The Art of Misinformation (Rebroadcast)
Hacking Your ADHD
Hey Team! Welcome back to a special encore presentation of Hacking Your ADHD. I’m dipping into the archives this week to bring back an episode that has only become more relevant since it first aired. We’re talking about misinformation—a topic that feels like it should be easy to define and identify, but as we know, the ADHD brain loves a rabbit hole, and not every rabbit hole leads to the truth. We’ve all seen those posts online where we roll our eyes and think, “How does anyone actually fall for this?” But here’s the kicker: that exact feeling of immunity is...

Putting the Hyper in Hypersensitive (Rebroadcast)
Hacking Your ADHD
We’re diving back into the archives today to revisit one of our most-requested episodes. Does the hum of the refrigerator feel like a jet engine? Does a scratchy shirt tag ruin your entire afternoon? You aren't alone. With ADHD, our "filters" often don't work the way we want them to. We can’t simply ignore the background noise or the overwhelming scent of a neighbor's perfume. In this encore presentation, we explore the world of hypersensitivity and what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) while navigating ADHD. In this episode, we revisit: Why our brains struggle to...

Important But Not Urgent (Rebroadcast)
Hacking Your ADHD
In this special rebroadcast, we are revisiting a conversation about a phrase many of us use at the start of a new project or a new year: “I want to hit the ground running.” Often, we start with great momentum, but it doesn’t take much—like an unexpected illness or a change in schedule—to throw a snag into our plans. For those of us with ADHD, we tend to thrive on speed and urgency. We don’t want to wait around, and that "emergency" energy can be a powerful motivator. However, living from one urgent task to the next often means we never get around to the things that are important...
