  • Very relatable

    I found her advice and perspective extremely helpful. I’m two podcasts in, and can’t wait to hear what else she has to say.

    This show is one of my favorite podcasts, and was the first ADHD focused podcast I had listened to. I felt so much commonality with Cate’s stories, and how she navigates her ADHD. I’m in the process of getting an official diagnosis, and perhaps medication to help me manage my symptoms, and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me get there.

  • Life altering content

    Cate’s ADHD content never fails to validate so many of my lived experiences. I’ve been sending episodes to my husband because they do such a great job explaining how I walk through the world.

    I love this show and these interviews. I often wish they were longer but I’m glad they’re kept to about a half hour, making them easy to listen to in short bursts.

  • A must listen!

    Love this podcast! Cate is a great interviewer and the guests are fabulous. The episode length at around 30 minutes is great as it’s just long enough to really get into detail about the subject matter but short enough that I can listen while doing daily tasks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Emmy winner’s trick for ADHD idea overload (Live show!)
Q: How do you define creativity and why is it important for ADHD minds?
Creativity is a muscle and a way of problem-solving that can be trained by showing up, exploring many ideas, and trusting that the process will reveal what fits. For ADHD minds, creativity thrives when you give yourself permission to start and when you accept that not all ideas will become finished products, which frees energy for the ones that do.
Your ADHD brain loves a good argument. Here’s why that’s a problem.
Q: How do I begin communicating with friends and family about a late-life ADHD diagnosis?
Be direct and honest: you don't owe people evidence, you simply explain that the diagnosis explains past struggles and you're learning to manage it. You can set boundaries and share what would be helpful from them, while recognizing that some people may not immediately understand.
Why neurodivergent women can’t stop reading smut and romantasy
Q: Do you see in your research that neurodivergent women as a whole tend to be consuming more romance, explicit fiction at higher rates?
Dr. Miley confirms anecdotally that neurodivergent women tend to engage more with romance/explicit fiction, using her clinical experience and her dissertation data to illustrate this trend while noting that formal research in this specific area is limited.
Why ADHD makes decluttering so hard (and how to fix it)
Q: How should couples navigate differences in organizing styles when living together with ADHD?
The advised approach is to clarify zones in the home, establish simple, fair rules about shared spaces, and practice compromise and respectful negotiation to balance needs without taking over. It's important for each partner to work on their own systems first before tackling joint space.
Why ADHD makes decluttering so hard (and how to fix it)
Q: What practical strategies help someone start making progress without getting overwhelmed?
Alison recommends starting with systems first, using flexible labeling like painter's tape and Sharpies, and embracing a wardrobe review or other category-focused methods to visualize groups of items. She emphasizes maintenance, small steps, and avoiding perfection as a barrier to progress.
