Host Tiffany Dixon welcomes back therapists Shelley Crampton & Mikayla Love of BlueBird Counseling Services for an honest, insightful, & often hilarious conversation about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the many ways it affects everyday life.

The episode explores why ADHD often goes unrecognized in women, how symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions, & why so many people aren't diagnosed until adulthood. Shelley & Mikayla also discuss AuDHD (the combination of autism & ADHD), masking, emotional regulation, & the surprising connection between hormonal changes during perimenopause & ADHD symptoms.

Tiffany shares her own experiences with ADHD as the conversation dives into the challenges of an overactive mind, feeling overwhelmed, executive functioning, & the familiar "out of sight, out of mind" phenomenon. They also explore how music, movement, hands-on activities, visual timers, & other practical strategies can help people with ADHD function & regulate in ways that work for their individual brains.

Filled with personal stories, humor, relatable moments, & plenty of "I feel so seen!" revelations, this episode challenges common misconceptions about ADHD while encouraging greater understanding, acceptance, & compassion for those who experience the world a little differently.
