JJ Unplugged S01E02: ADHD
In this episode, we dive into the beautiful, bonkers world of ADHD. We share how it shows up in our lives, from executive dysfunction and hyperfocus spirals to rejection sensitivity and dopamine-chasing hobbies. Spoiler: it’s not just about being “distracted.”
Welcome to Episode 2 of JJ Unplugged, where we say the quiet parts of ADHD out loud.
This episode covers:
What ADHD looks like when you’re not a hyper 10-year-old boy
Masking, memory gaps, and why your brain hits a wall mid-sentence
How late diagnosis changed everything for us
Stigma, shame, and the myth of laziness
Our favorite tools, coping strategies, and workarounds that actually help
Why ADHD is a lot more than “can’t sit still” and “forgets keys”
We don’t have it all figured out, but we’re navigating the chaos together. If your brain’s a browser with 42 open tabs (and one is playing music you can’t find), this one’s for you.
