  • ADHD in women

    I appreciate the vulnerability of Kim to share her diagnosis of ADHD. I listened to this podcast while I awaited the diagnosis of my son. He is very impulsive but not hyperactive. None of his teachers ever suspected it but we had been questioning it for years. I had yet to do a deep dive into ADHD and how it presents itsself in subtle ways that isn’t losing everything and fidgeting. In the middle of listening to your podcast, I threw racing thoughts into ChatGPT. How my brain worked was explain... more

  • Laughed the whole way through “that’s the way it is”

    Got car washed for first time in months the day BEFORE we finally got rain in Raleigh. Took Laugh Lines on a walk after the rain and stepped in a muddy mess with new shoes. You guys kept me in a great mood.

  • Don’t know what took me so long to start listening!

    Reading your marriage book now—thank you, thank you! Hope you’ll write a sequel & looking forward to your adhd book & sounds like it will have a sequel too! 💗 Kim, you are not a fraud! I’m a 50 year old perimenopausal woman and I was diagnosed with ADHD around 5 years ago. Same therapist was over 95% sure after meeting my husband that he also has ADHD. Don’t know why getting a diagnosis took me so long either. You guys are a blessing. Thank you 💗

Career Advice & Gen X Cold Case
Q: What's your best tip for preparing for big live speaking engagements?
We differ in approach: one prefers a choreographed, repeated run-through and the other relies on recording and reviewing notes; both emphasize rehearsal, confidence, and practicing in a mirror or through playback to ensure comfort on stage.
Rejection Sensitivity & ADHD with Dr. Sasha Hamdani
Q: What is the best way to support someone with RSD or ADHD in daily life?
Use education to normalize RSD, apply practical strategies like delaying reactions, labeling emotions, and movement, and create supportive environments that acknowledge the neurobiology rather than blaming the person.

Text for important updates; call sparingly. Lola suggests calling about meaningful developments and aiming for about once a week to keep connected without crowding the student's independence.
College Advice From Our Daughter, Lola Holderness!
Q: What is something you wish you had been better prepared for to handle on your own?
Living with a roommate, managing independence, and carving out private time outside the dorm to decompress; Lola emphasizes setting boundaries and seeking balance so alone time and shared space both feel healthy.
College Advice From Our Daughter, Lola Holderness!
Q: What was one of your toughest days and how did you get through it? Who helped you? What did you learn from it?
