TPP 374: Penn & Kim Holderness Talk About How ADHD is Awesome in Love & in Life
I’ve been a longtime fan of Kim and Penn Holderness, who I’ve had a parasocial relationship with for years as I love to consume and share their funny music videos, vlogs, and skits. And in more recent years, it’s exciting to see them talking openly and with humor and authenticity about Penn’s ADHD and how together, Kim and Penn navigate their marriage and raising kids in their mixed neurotype household.
All that say, I loved having a chance to sit down with Kim and Penn to talk about their brand new book, out next week, called ADHD is Awesome: A Guide to (Mostly) Thriving with ADHD, which they wrote because they are on a mission to reboot how we think about ADHD by taking us inside their ADHD world, and all highs, lows, and moments in between. I think what I loved about their book, and this conversation, the most is that Kim and Penn are real and open about how beautiful, and yes, messy, it can be to navigate family life as a person with ADHD or as someone married to an ADHDer. And so in today’s conversation, that’s what we hear about — how Penn has learned to hack himself to manage his ADHD-related challenges, the ways in which ADHD has enriched their family life, how Kim has reframed her thinking and approach to support Penn’s executive function challenges and be an “ADHD whisperer” while also taking care of her own emotional and mental well-being.
After listening to this episode, I highly recommend you go to their Instagram or YouTube and check out their content. Their first book together, Everybody Fights, about how couples can fight better and end your arguments feeling closer, more loved, and better understood, came out in 2021. The book we’re talking about today, ADHD is Awesome, comes out April 30.

Best Podcast for Aytipical Families
Debbie is a fantastic interviewer and she has secured talks with some outstanding people and experts in their respective fields.At times these talks have been lifesavers for our family with an ASD son. I always check in each week with interest to see who is coming up. Thank you Debbie, you have created something wonderful!
TILT is so inspiring!
I was so grateful to find this podcast. So real, and so helpful. Makes you feel like you are not alone. So many helpful tips, Debbie is fab and I find all the people she interviews very helpful. Would be wonderful to have a podcast on Girls with ADHD and the difference this brings as opposed to boys, with all the emotional issues.
