    Given that your target audience is women with ADHD, going through excessive lists of symptoms isn’t listener-friendly. Perhaps in future, consider breaking up the various diagnostic criteria/questionnaires so they don’t read like long lists that cause your listeners to quickly tune out.

  • My Go To, but….

    This podcast has made me feel so seen and understood for my uniquenesses. It has phenomenal guests, guidance, and resources. I’ve recommended it to every person and practitioner who deals with ADHD women and girls. BUT, the audio of the recent episodes has declined. The wet mouth noises make it impossible to listen to. It’s deeply disturbing having earbuds in and hearing the noise of someone’s mouth in my ear. Like omg Please get mic covers and better microphones. I hate missing episodes.

  • Conflicted

    I’m newly diagnosed with ADHD and was thrilled to find this podcast. I listened to a few episodes that really resonated with me and was hoping this podcast would be a safe space. However, I was really disappointed by the way Tracy talked about bodies during the GLP-1 episode and had to stop listening. The assumption that people lose weight and automatically feel better about themselves is a fatphobic, disgusting assumption in the year 2026. Do better, Tracy.

  • Inspiring and helpful

    I should have written this review long ago, but Tracy’s book and podcast changed the way I think about, and approach my ADHD. Thank you for all you do to empower us.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 406: The Hidden Strengths of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria with Dr. Catherine Mutti-Driscoll
Q: How does recognition and positive feedback fit into this, and what is recognition-responsive euphoria?
Recognition-responsive euphoria is the phenomenon where positive acknowledgment boosts mood greatly, contrasting the negative lows of rejection; it highlights the nourishment barrier where positive feedback may not be fully absorbed, necessitating a supportive environment to maximize benefit.
EP. 406: The Hidden Strengths of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria with Dr. Catherine Mutti-Driscoll
Q: What does RSD actually feel like in the moment, and can you give an example?
It feels intensely overwhelming, with a range from searing humiliation to embarrassment, and a vivid example is the scene from Anne of Green Gables where a teasing nickname becomes a trigger that leads to a strong emotional reaction that lingers.
EP. 406: The Hidden Strengths of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria with Dr. Catherine Mutti-Driscoll
Q: For someone hearing the term RSD for the first time, can you tell us what it is?
RSD is an intense sensitivity to real or perceived rejection, often linked with ADHD and sometimes autism, where minor social cues or criticisms can trigger a disproportionate emotional response and even long-lasting impact.
EP. 400: ADHD & Entrepreneurship: How Holly Fowler Built Wable from the Ground Up
Q: What were the biggest challenges in funding and scaling Wable?
Fundraising has been tough and time-consuming, but successful relationships with ambassadors and media exposure (e.g., Forbes 30 Under 30, Kelly Clarkson, The Today Show) have opened doors. She emphasizes choosing the right investors and being transparent about challenges to attract partners who add value beyond capital.
EP. 400: ADHD & Entrepreneurship: How Holly Fowler Built Wable from the Ground Up
Q: How did you get involved with ADHD and what was your diagnostic journey like?
Holly describes being diagnosed later in life after years of coping with anxiety and depression, with ADHD and OCD traits. The diagnosis helped her understand her behavior and sharpen her resilience, ultimately fueling entrepreneurship.
