    Dani Donovan and Finding Her Way Through ADHD Content Creation

    Dani Donovan and Finding Her Way Through ADHD Content Creation

    In the midst of our little rest-n-relaxation break we’ve been taking the last couple of month, we somehow found ourselves diving into another project that we can’t wait to share with you soon! While we iron out those details, enjoy another incredible conversation we had back in 2022 during ADHD Awareness Month.
    Today’s guest is a name we know you’ll recognize. Dani Donovan is one of the OGs of ADHD content creation, sharing her journey and perspective on how the disorder shows up in her life so generously with the world. Hear her share why she’s chosen this path and what its meant for her. Hint: Little Dani is screaming at the irony!
    Dani and Lindsay also talk breaking down ADHD stereotypes, being a woman with ADHD and managing friendships, and the importance of workplace accommodations for neurodivergent people.
    To learn more about Dani and the work she is doing for the ADHD community, check out her website here. And if you haven’t already, make sure to pick up Dani’s book, The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don't Feel Like It, available now!

    Sarah Dimeo, ADHD, and Burnout

    Sarah Dimeo, ADHD, and Burnout

    The Refocused team is getting some much needed R&R and while we do that, we’re replaying some of the incredible conversations we had during our very first Refocused, Together in 2022.
    Today, we’re going back to our conversation with Sarah Dimeo. Sarah was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 37 and happened years before the pandemic started. There’s so much to relate to in Sarah’s story – her struggles with setting boundaries and prioritization with her career, the immense amount of work she’s had to put in on building her self-love and acceptance, and the lessons she had to learn – some of them over and over again – to finally find her way out of the burnout cycle.
    To learn more about Sarah and the work she is doing, check out her website here.

This is the podcast I wish I created.

If I did a podcast on ADHD, this is the podcast I would strive to create. However it already exists, and it is much better than I could ever hope to do myself. Lindsay has done it with Refocused. She is an excellent interviewer and asks thoughtful questions that elicit insightful answers from her guests. She is very compassionate and caring when discussing ADHD, a condition with which many struggle daily and that carries many mental health comorbidities. Lindsay’s commentaries at the end of every episode are really well done. Brilliant, really, in the way she reflects on the interview and offers hope and lessons for those of us with ADHD.

Lindsay is an amazing interviewer

Lindsay is an amazing interviewer seriously! This is my favorite ADHD podcast because of her style, her voice is easy to listen to and she’s so real and relatable. Her guests are so interesting (aren’t all adults with ADHD though haha) but the chemistry between each person and Lindsay makes every episode enjoyable and informative!

Thank you and please stick around the podcast scene as long as you can 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
