Dr. K and Dr. Micaela dive into the side of ADHD most people don’t hear about. The everyday quirks, emotional struggles, and hidden habits that go far beyond “not paying attention.” They explore how ADHD shows up in piles of clutter (“doom piles”), impulse-driven conversations, and difficulty filtering what really matters.

The discussion digs into:



Why focus often collapses before big deadlines or events




The link between ADHD and social anxiety, rejection sensitivity, and “ADHD guilt”




How emotional regulation and chronic boredom fuel cycles of shame




Why masking drains energy and damages relationships




Practical coping strategies from timers and structured breaks to unmasking safely with trusted people




This episode reframes ADHD as more than distraction—it’s about emotions, identity, and the way your brain interacts with the world.
