    Episode 95 - Decluttering at the Speed of Life with Dana K. White

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with bestselling author and decluttering expert Dana K. White for a conversation that will feel like a breath of fresh air if you've ever wondered why traditional organizing advice just doesn't work for you. Dana shares how years of struggling with clutter led her to discover that her brain simply worked differently than the brains of naturally organized people. Instead of trying to force herself into systems that weren't built for her, she developed a practical, judgment-free approach to decluttering that has helped hundreds of thousands of people reclaim their homes. Together, Jami and Dana explore the connection between ADHD and clutter, why decision-making can feel so overwhelming, and how small mindset shifts can make organizing feel possible instead of paralyzing. What You'll Learn Why traditional organizing advice often doesn't work for ADHD brainsHow realizing your brain works differently can replace shame with understandingDana's "No Mess Decluttering Process" and why it avoids creating pilesWhy starting with decision-free tasks builds momentumThe simple question Dana asks before keeping any itemHow the "container concept" changes the way you think about clutterWhy decluttering comes before organizingHow perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep us stuckWhy having less stuff makes it easier to stay organizedHow to work with your brain instead of against it Why This Matters For many people with ADHD, clutter isn't a matter of laziness or lack of motivation. It's often the result of overwhelm, decision fatigue, and trying to follow organizing systems that were never designed for the way their brains work. This conversation offers practical strategies and a refreshing reminder that the goal isn't a picture-perfect home—it's creating a space that supports the life you want to live. The ADHD Button Question While Dana has never been formally diagnosed with ADHD, she openly shares that she strongly relates to many ADHD traits and recognizes that her brain works differently than those of naturally organized people. Rather than focusing on a label, Dana has spent years developing systems that work with her brain, helping countless others do the same. About the Guest Dana K. White is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, podcaster, YouTuber, and creator of A Slob Comes Clean. She is the author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind, and Organizing for the Rest of Us.

    Episode 94 - ADHD, Aging & Dementia

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with Certified Senior Advisor and dementia care specialist Sydney Kennedy for a conversation that bridges two often misunderstood topics: ADHD and aging. Sydney shares how reading Jami's book, This Explains So Much, helped her recognize many ADHD traits in herself later in life, including being labeled a daydreamer, struggling to stay engaged in school, and hearing the familiar phrase, "She needs to apply herself." The conversation then turns to Sydney's decades of experience helping older adults and their families navigate senior living and dementia care. Together, she and Jami discuss why it's important not to confuse normal aging, ADHD, and dementia, and how compassion, education, and the right support can make all the difference. What You'll Learn Why many older women don't recognize ADHD until later in lifeThe childhood signs of ADHD that often go unnoticedWhy "She needs to apply herself" was a common message for many girlsHow coping strategies can mask ADHD for decadesThe differences between ADHD, normal aging, and dementiaCommon misconceptions about memory loss and dementiaHow to support a loved one living with dementia with dignity and compassionWhat placement professionals do and how they help families navigate senior careWhy understanding comes before assumptions Why This Matters As we age, it's easy to mistake ADHD symptoms for normal aging or even dementia. This episode encourages listeners to approach both conditions with curiosity instead of judgment, reminding us that understanding someone's brain can transform not only how we see ourselves, but how we care for the people we love. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? While Sydney has never been formally diagnosed, she shares that she wouldn't press the button. Over the years, she's learned to embrace the strategies that have helped her succeed and believes those experiences have shaped who she is today. About the Guest Sydney Kennedy is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), Certified Placement & Referral Specialist (CPRS), and founder of Time to Move Care Placement. For more than 20 years, she has helped older adults and their families navigate senior living options, with a special focus on dementia care, education, and caregiver support.

    Episode 93 - Anything But ADHD

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with filmmaker and producer Jessi Sorensen, creator of the upcoming documentary Anything But ADHD. Together, they explore what happens when ADHD goes unrecognized for years and why so many women are diagnosed with everything except ADHD. Jessi shares her own late-diagnosis journey, including years of anxiety, insomnia, migraines, panic attacks, perfectionism, and overwork before discovering that ADHD was the missing piece. She also talks about the inspiration behind her documentary and the powerful experience of connecting with other women who shared similar stories. Their conversation highlights the challenges of getting diagnosed as an adult, the misconceptions that still exist about ADHD, and why awareness, community, and understanding can be life-changing. What You'll Learn Why many women are diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or insomnia before ADHDHow perfectionism can mask ADHD symptomsThe impact of COVID on ADHD awareness and diagnosisWhy ADHD often looks different than the stereotypesThe challenges of seeking an adult ADHD diagnosisHow outdated assumptions can prevent people from getting helpThe connection between ADHD, creativity, and entrepreneurshipWhy community is so powerful for neurodivergent adultsHow Jessi's documentary Anything But ADHD came to lifeThe importance of finding people who truly understand your experience Why This Matters Many adults spend years wondering why life feels harder than it seems to be for everyone else. When ADHD goes undiagnosed, people often blame themselves for struggles that have neurological roots. Understanding ADHD can bring clarity, self-compassion, and a new framework for understanding your past and creating a better future. This episode is a reminder that it's never too late to learn more about how your brain works. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? Jessi's answer is no. While she wishes she had been diagnosed earlier, she believes ADHD helped shape her creativity, career, curiosity, and the life she has built. Rather than erase it, she would choose greater understanding and acceptance. About the Guest Jessi Sorensen is a producer, director, and storyteller with more than fifteen years of experience in television, advertising, and documentary filmmaking. Following her late ADHD diagnosis, she began creating Anything But ADHD, a documentary focused on raising awareness about adult ADHD and fostering connection within the neurodivergent community.

    Episode 92 - Why Knowing You Have ADHD Matters At ANY Age

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with ADHD coach, author, and podcast host Brooke Schnittman to discuss why understanding ADHD can be life-changing, no matter when you're diagnosed. Brooke shares her own late-diagnosis journey and reflects on years of being treated for anxiety, depression, and learning differences before realizing ADHD was the missing piece. Together, she and Jami explore how ADHD is often hidden behind perfectionism, overachievement, people-pleasing, and coping strategies, especially in women. They also discuss the impact of hormones, trauma, bullying, and major life transitions, and why awareness is the first step toward creating meaningful change. What You'll Learn Why many women are diagnosed with anxiety or depression before ADHDHow perfectionism and overcompensation can mask ADHDThe impact of hormones and life transitions on ADHD symptomsWhy understanding ADHD matters at any ageWhat neuroplasticity means and why change is always possibleHow trauma and bullying affect people with ADHDThe connection between ADHD and imposter syndromeWhy externalizing information is one of the most effective ADHD tools Why This Matters Many adults spend decades believing they're lazy, disorganized, or not trying hard enough. Understanding ADHD doesn't change the past, but it can change how you see yourself moving forward. Awareness creates opportunities for self-compassion, better systems, and a deeper understanding of why certain things have always felt harder. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? Brooke's answer is no. While ADHD has brought challenges, it's also shaped her strengths, career, and purpose. She sees it as an important part of who she is today.

    Episode 91 - ADHD & Adult Friends with Caroline Maguire

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with internationally recognized ADHD coach, educator, TEDx speaker, and author Caroline Maguire for an honest conversation about one of the most overlooked challenges of ADHD: friendship. While ADHD is often discussed in terms of organization, productivity, or time management, Caroline has spent more than two decades helping people understand another reality: many individuals with ADHD struggle with loneliness, social anxiety, rejection sensitivity, and maintaining meaningful relationships. Together, Jami and Caroline explore why friendships can feel so complicated for neurodivergent adults, how ADHD impacts communication, and why so many people carry shame from social experiences that happened years or even decades ago. They also discuss what happens when we stop trying to force ourselves into friendships that don't fit and start looking for connections where we can be fully ourselves. This conversation is validating, practical, and full of hope for anyone who has ever wondered, "Why does friendship seem harder for me?" What You'll Learn Why friendship can be uniquely challenging for people with ADHDHow time blindness impacts relationships and staying connectedThe connection between ADHD and social anxietyWhy many adults with ADHD struggle with rejection sensitivityHow childhood social experiences can shape adult friendshipsThe difference between a close friend, a casual friend, and a "best friend"Why having a best friend isn't necessarily the goalHow ADHD communication styles can be misunderstoodA simple strategy for sharing personal stories without feeling like you're interruptingWhy masking can make friendships feel exhaustingHow to identify people who are truly your peopleThe importance of finding friendships where you can be authenticWhy friendships can change after an ADHD diagnosis Why This Matters Connection is one of the most important factors for overall well-being. Yet many adults with ADHD carry years of social wounds, misunderstandings, and self-doubt that make building and maintaining friendships feel difficult. This episode reminds us that friendship is not an instinctive skill for everyone. It's something that can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time. Most importantly, it's a reminder that you don't need to become someone else to have meaningful relationships. The right people will appreciate you for who you are. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? Caroline's answer is no. While ADHD brought challenges, bullying, learning differences, and years of struggle, she believes those experiences ultimately shaped her purpose. Without ADHD, she may never have dedicated her life to helping neurodivergent people build stronger friendships and feel less alone. About the Guest Caroline Maguire is an internationally recognized ADHD coach, educator, TEDx speaker, and author of Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults and the award-winning Why Will No One Play With Me? She trained through ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), earned her M.Ed. in Early Childhood Development with a focus on social-emotional learning from Lesley University, and developed the only family-focused ADHD coach training program accredited by the International Coaching Federation.

    Episode 90 - Why Community Matters for People with ADHD

    In this special episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro is joined by her longtime friend, Sparkler Society co-founder, and first-time NeuroDiversion conference attendee, Lynn Layfield, for a candid conversation about what they learned at the NeuroDiversion 2026 Conference. Jami and Lynn unpack the insights, strategies, and moments of connection that stood out most from a weekend spent surrounded by neurodivergent people who simply "got it." From practical ADHD hacks and emotional regulation tools to conversations about perfectionism, self-compassion, body doubling, technology, and community, this episode captures what happens when you stop trying to fit into a world that wasn't built for your brain and start learning from people who understand it firsthand. Most importantly, it's a conversation about belonging. Because sometimes the greatest takeaway isn't a productivity strategy. It's realizing you're not the only one. Conference Highlights Jami and Lynn share some of their favorite takeaways from NeuroDiversion 2026, including:The importance of pausing before reacting emotionally"Move a thought, move a muscle" as a strategy for interrupting ruminationWhy sleep, hydration, and movement matter more than most of us realizeUsing AI to identify the next smallest step when feeling overwhelmedThe role of body doubling and external accountabilityCreating systems that remove unnecessary barriersLearning to observe yourself with curiosity instead of judgment Why This Matters Many adults discover ADHD later in life and spend years believing they're the only ones struggling with organization, consistency, time management, or self-criticism. This episode is a reminder that you're not broken. There are millions of people navigating similar challenges, creating workarounds, sharing strategies, and learning how to work with their brains instead of against them. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from realizing you're not alone. About the Hosts Jami Shapiro Jami Shapiro is an ADHD coach, speaker, author, and founder of Silver Linings Transitions.

    Episode 89 - Try Not To Get Into That Time Machine & Other Ways To Stop Ruminating

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with therapist and anxiety specialist Kristen Baird Goldman for a thoughtful and deeply relatable conversation about rumination, anxiety, and the exhausting mental loops so many people with ADHD know all too well. If you’ve ever replayed a conversation for hours, spiraled over a mistake, or mentally traveled back in time wondering what you should have said or done differently, this episode is for you. Kristen explains why the ADHD brain is especially vulnerable to rumination and how anxiety, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, and shame can keep people stuck in cycles of overthinking. Together, she and Jami explore practical ways to interrupt those thought spirals, regulate the nervous system, and stay grounded in the present instead of getting pulled into what Kristen calls “the time machine.” This conversation is compassionate, practical, and full of reminders that you are not your thoughts — and you do not have to believe every story your brain tells you. What You’ll Learn Why people with ADHD are especially prone to ruminationWhat happens in the brain during overthinking spiralsHow anxiety and ADHD often overlapWhy shame and perfectionism fuel ruminationWhat Kristen means by “the time machine”How to recognize when you’re mentally stuck in the past or futureWhy nervous system regulation mattersPractical tools to interrupt thought spiralsHow mindfulness and self-awareness can reduce emotional overwhelmWhy self-compassion is essential for healing Why This Matters Many adults with ADHD spend enormous amounts of energy replaying conversations, worrying about mistakes, and anticipating worst-case scenarios. Over time, that mental exhaustion can impact relationships, confidence, sleep, and overall well-being. This episode offers a gentler, more compassionate approach — one rooted in awareness, regulation, and learning how to step out of the spiral instead of fighting yourself inside it. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? This conversation explores how ADHD can create real emotional struggles while also shaping empathy, insight, creativity, and deep emotional awareness. About the Guest Kristen Baird-Goldman is a licensed therapist, anxiety specialist, and speaker who helps people better understand anxiety, emotional regulation, and the patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of overwhelm and overthinking. Her work focuses on practical tools, nervous system awareness, mindfulness, and helping people develop more compassionate relationships with themselves.

    Episode 88 - Why We Need to Banish the Term “Anti-Aging”

    In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami Shapiro sits down with Bob Roth, managing partner of Cypress HomeCare Solutions, for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about aging, ADHD, connection, and why the term “anti-aging” may be doing more harm than good. Bob has spent decades working in the aging space and believes strongly that aging is not something to fight against, it’s a privilege. Together, he and Jami unpack how our culture’s obsession with staying young impacts the way we view older adults, ourselves, and the aging process as a whole. The conversation also takes an unexpected and powerful turn into ADHD, vulnerability, resilience, and how neurodivergence can shape empathy, entrepreneurship, and the way we move through the world. What You’ll Learn Why the term “anti-aging” can be harmfulHow our culture stigmatizes growing olderThe connection between ADHD, resilience, and entrepreneurshipWhy many adults with ADHD develop deep empathy and adaptabilityHow ADHD impacts emotional regulation and sensitivityThe importance of movement, relationships, and community as we ageWhy loneliness and isolation are major challenges for older adultsHow curiosity and lifelong learning support healthy agingThe role of routine and structure in managing ADHDWhy aging should be viewed as a gift, not a failure Why This Matters Many people grow up fearing aging instead of preparing for it. This episode reframes aging as something deeply human, not something to resist or hide from. It’s a conversation about embracing where we are, staying connected, and creating lives that continue to feel meaningful at every stage. It’s also a reminder that ADHD does not disappear with age. In many ways, understanding your brain later in life can help explain decades of experiences and open the door to greater self-compassion. The ADHD Button Question Jami asks every guest: If there were a button that could remove your ADHD forever, would you press it? Bob’s answer is no. While ADHD brought challenges throughout his life, he shares that it also shaped his empathy, curiosity, resilience, and ability to connect deeply with people. He reflects on how learning to work with his brain — rather than against it, became one of his greatest strengths. About the Guest Bob Roth is the managing partner of Cypress HomeCare Solutions in Arizona, a company he helped build with his family in 1994. He is also the host of Health Futures – Taking Stock in You on Money Radio and a nationally recognized advocate in the aging services industry. Bob has served on Arizona’s Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging and is known for his work advancing compassionate care, healthy aging, and innovation in senior services.
