    400 Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Follow-Through? Listen to This

    Today I’m joined by my friend Ari Tuckman, psychologist, ADHD thought leader, and author of The ADHD Productivity Manual, for a real, down-to-earth conversation about what it actually looks like to be productive with an ADHD brain. We kick things off by unpacking Ari’s idea that productivity is a mental game, and why that matters way more than whatever planner or app you’re using. We also call out “fake productivity,” the stuff that feels productive but isn’t actually moving your life forward. From there, we get into the good stuff: how to choose the right goals when you have a million ideas, how to realistically assess your time without lying to yourself, and what it takes to build a work environment and workflow that actually supports your brain. We also talk about your relationship with your to-do list, what to do when overwhelm hits, and how to navigate the ambiguity that comes with doing meaningful work. And maybe most importantly, we zoom out and ask: how productive do you really need to be? This one is practical, honest, and full of those “oh wow, I’ve never thought about it like that” moments.

    398 Virgin River’s Benjamin Hollingsworth Opens Up About ADHD for the First Time Ever

    Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Benjamin Hollingsworth, best known as Brady on Virgin River and from The Christmas Ring. While audiences feel like they know him from the screen, this conversation offers something much more personal: Benjamin opens up publicly for the first time about his ADHD. We dive into his diagnosis story: when he first realized his brain worked differently, what signs were there all along, and how getting diagnosed shifted his self-understanding. Benjamin shares what it’s really like navigating ADHD in the high-pressure world of TV and film, from long days on set to the intense focus required when the cameras roll. We also talk about fatherhood: raising three boys while managing an ADHD brain, and the kind of dad he wants to be. It’s an honest, relatable conversation about identity, growth, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it. Whether you’re a fan of Virgin River or simply curious how ADHD shows up behind the scenes of a successful acting career, this episode offers a rare and meaningful glimpse into the real life of someone you thought you already knew.

    In this episode, I sit down with dyslexia expert Natalie Brooks for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about what dyslexia really looks like and how it often overlaps with ADHD in ways that can be confusing, frustrating, and deeply validating once understood. Whether you’ve been diagnosed, suspect you might have dyslexia, or love someone who does, this episode will help you connect the dots and feel less alone. We also dive into Natalie’s new book, Dyslexia Unlocked, which offers practical tools and empowering insights for dyslexic adults navigating a world that wasn’t designed for their brains.

    394 I Tried Using ChatGPT for My ADHD… Here’s What Happened

    Let’s talk about AI—because I know some of you are curious, some of you are already using it constantly, and some of you are like, “absolutely not.” All fair. In this episode, I’m sharing how tools like ChatGPT can actually support an ADHD brain in real life. Not as a replacement for your thinking, your relationships, or your treatment—but as something that can hold your thoughts, help you get unstuck, and make it easier to follow through when your brain is overwhelmed. Because when you have ADHD, you’re carrying a lot all at once, and having something that can help you organize, process, and respond in the moment can be a game changer. We also talk about the concerns—because they’re real. AI isn’t perfect, it can be inaccurate, and it shouldn’t replace human support. And at the same time, when used intentionally, it can be a powerful, low-barrier tool that helps bridge the gap between knowing what you want to do and actually doing it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will open your eyes to a new kind of support that’s available to you right now.
