    Calm Down, Let Me Stim In Peace...

    In this episode of ADHD AF!!, we're talking all about STIMMING. What it is, why we do it, and how it shows up when you're living with ADHD. From tapping pens, and bouncing knees to humming, or playing with textures, stimming is often misunderstood, judged, or shamed. But the truth is, its a natural, powerful way our brains self regulate and find comfort. I'll break down different types of stims, share my own experiences, and explore how we can reclaim stimming as something to be proud of instead of hiding it away. Whether you stim to focus, calm anxiety, or just because it feels good, this episode is here to validate your experience and remind you that stimming is not something to "fix," it's something to honor. Tune in if you're ready to unmask, release the shame, and celebrate the ways your body and brain work together.

    I Want To Be Soft, But My Trauma Said Nahhh..

    Let's be real...softness doesn't always feel safe when you're neurodivergent, especially when you've experienced trauma and spent your whole life in survival mode. In this episode, we unpack what it means to want to be vulnerable, open, and emotionally present...but feel blocked by rejection, or the constant need to protect yourself. From masking and emotional shutdowns to being labeled "too sensitive," we talk about why softness feels like a risk, and how that shows up in relationships, friendships, and even with ourselves. This is for the folks who crave intimacy but flinch when it gets too real. For those who've had to be the strong one for too long. For the ones who want to be soft, but just...don't know how to feel safe doing it yet. Let's talk about what it takes to unlearn the armor and come home to yourself.

    ADHD Aint A Pass, I'm Not Your Mama!!

    In this episode of ADHD AF, we're diving deep into one of the most frustrating and misunderstood dynamics in ADHD relationships: The Parent-Child Dynamic. Whether you've found yourself nagging like a mama or feeling like your partner's second parent, you're not alone. You're not crazy. This dynamic is more common than people think, especially in neurodiverse partnerships. We'll unpack what the parent- child dynamic really is, how it starts, and why it hurts both people involved. I'll share my own experience, how it shows up in my marriage, and what emotional dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and resentment have to do with it. Most importantly, we'll talk about how to shift out of this cycle, with tools, reflection, and real talk. If you've ever felt more like a caretaker than a lover or partner, or like your independence is always being questioned, this one's for you.

    Neurodivergent AF: I Am. Are You??

    In this episode of ADHD AF, we're digging into what it really means to be neurodivergent, beyond the buzzwords and the TikToks. I'm talking about how I came to understand my own neurodivergence, how it showed up in my life long before I had the language for it, and how you can start connecting the dots in your own story too. Whether you're newly diagnosed, self diagnosed, or still figuring it out, I'm sharing some tools, questions, and signs that helped me see myself clearly and start living life on my own terms. This episode is about reclaiming your identity, breaking the shame cycle, and saying "YESSIR" to the brain you were born with. You are not too much. You are not lazy. You are Neurodivergent AF, and you deserve support that actually makes sense for you.

    ADHD Ain't New, But This Episode Is...

    In this very first episode of ADHD AF, I'm kicking things off by getting real about by ADHD journey. From being diagnosed at 15 to rediscovering that same diagnosis as a grown-ass woman at 35. I'm sharing what led me to seek help (again,) how validating that moment was, and the ways ADHD shaped everything from school to self-worth. This episode dives into the overlooked experience of Black girls and Women with ADHD, the ways we mask, and the cultural silence around mental health in our communities. This isn't just my story, it's OUR story. Raw, Relfective, and Real AF.

This aint your typical ADHD podcast. ADHD AF!! is rooted in culture, honesty, and real-life experiences- especially for folks who been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told to "just try harder." We're breaking the silence, dropping the shame, and reclaiming our power one episode at a time. Tap in as I lay the foundation for what's coming: truth, community, laughter, and the kind of validation we all deserve. Because even in the mess, there's magic -and it's ADHD AF!!
