  • 321 The 5-Minute ADHD Hack That Can Change Your Life

    321 The 5-Minute ADHD Hack That Can Change Your Life
    Jun 24 2025

    Ever feel like your brain is a messy closet with the light off? In this episode, we flip the switch.

    I break down the simple but powerful practice of thought downloads—what they are (and aren’t), why they’re crucial for ADHD minds, and how they help you build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity. This isn’t journaling. It’s not a productivity hack. It’s mindfulness for your messy, magical brain.

    You’ll learn:

    1. Why “thinking about your thinking” is hard with ADHD (and what to do about it)
    2. The difference between a brain dump and a thought download
    3. How to start a thought download (even when you “don’t know what to write”)
    4. Prompts to get you unstuck and curious
    5. The surprising way this 5-minute practice can change everything

    Grab a pen. It’s time to meet your mind.

  • 320 Rapid-Fire Adult ADHD Q&A

    320 Rapid-Fire Adult ADHD Q&A
    Jun 17 2025

    Buckle up, because this episode is a fast-paced, wide-ranging Q&A where I answer as many of your ADHD questions as I possibly can! These questions were submitted on Instagram, and I had the best time flying through them and sharing real, practical insights from my ADHD brain to yours.

    We cover everything from medication, motivation, and prioritization to emotional regulation, rejection, brain dumps, and massage-induced thought spirals (yep, really). If you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or simply curious about how other ADHD adults navigate life—this one’s for you.

    It’s a fun, casual, info-packed episode that touches on so many of the topics we all wrestle with—don’t miss it.

    Some of the questions I answer:

    1. Tips for eating more during the day instead of binging at night
    2. How to “trick” your brain into being more driven
    3. How to gently educate your loved ones about ADHD
    4. How to prioritize when you have a million ideas
    5. And lots more…

    This is a great episode to play while cleaning, driving, or walking—casual, quick, and totally relatable.

    2. Why starting can feel impossible for ADHDers + Autistics
    3. The brain science behind motivation, dopamine, and urgency
    4. Emotional blocks like fear, shame, and perfectionism
    5. Simple, ADHD-friendly tips to finally get moving (without needing willpower!)

    From micro-steps to dopamine rewards, we’re breaking it all down so you can stop spiraling and start… well, starting.

This really explains it.

The I Have ADHD podcast by Kristen Carder, really puts sp many things into perspective. some of which I have said 1 million times to many deaf ears myself, and some that is said by Kristen so perfectly that it just lands as the validation that I needed all of this time.

Thanks, Kristen, I appreciate it, and to anyone reading, you will find the validation you failed, on no part of your own!-see what I did there?-to receive all this time.

From the heart, this podcast helps so much with those old wounds and the continued misunderstandings we go through in daily life.
