This week, we’re talking about adult ADHD and what nobody tells you after the diagnosis: the medication that had Jocelyn flipping out on people at her old job, the apology she went back and gave, and still meant, and the ADHD coaching her psychiatrist just told her exists. We also get into the birthday sail on Lake Michigan that Jocelyn paid for and he could not keep down, Gen Z telling millennials to retire, Jade’s No Child Left Behind soapbox, the follow-up to the Miami sister story, and why the word of the week is accountability. Whether you’re navigating ADHD as a grown woman, a job you already apologized to, or family that mistakes you for free childcare, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
