    Masking, Manners, And Being Yourself

    Send us a text We weigh the tension between masking and authenticity for ADHD brains and share a practical way to read rooms, set limits, and stay true to our values. The goal is not perfection but skill: calibrate behavior to context without erasing yourself. • when moderation serves care rather than fakery • how context changes expectations and effort • using pause, scan, ask to read a room • setting goals and choosing traits to amplify • planning breaks to self-regulate and exit well • observing norms before engaging in new spaces • running small experiments and reading feedback • debriefing to refine behaviors and protect values • knowing when environments don’t deserve you • staying open to find people who love your spark If this topic speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools. Your story could be the one that helps someone else feel less alone.

    Morning momentum for ADHD

    Send us a text Mornings don't have to be a willpower contest. Coach Alex Delmar shares a practical, ADHD-friendly plan to make mornings easier by doing the work at night, priming the brain in bed, and stacking cues that make getting up feel doable. Light, scent, water, music, and tiny rewards replace willpower with a plan you can repeat. • defining morning by your wake target • evening prep to cut decisions and reduce overwhelm • coffee scent and breakfast anticipation as cues • phone out of reach to prevent time loss • alarms and light to start the wake cycle • bedside water, meds, and a visible agenda • in-bed activation with breath, stretches, and movement • schedule check to trigger urgency without panic • playlist, cold shower, and invigorating scents • sunlight, movement, and social contact to lock in alertness • rewards that only unlock after following the plan • self-compassion and seeking coaching or peer support  If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who struggles to wake up, and leave a quick review—what’s one cue you’ll try tomorrow?

    ADHD Makes Getting Out of Bed Hard; Here's How to Fix It

    Send us a text Your alarm goes off, your eyes open, and yet… you don’t move. That sticky space between awake and up isn’t laziness—it’s an ADHD friction zone shaped by dopamine dips, time blindness, and decision overload.  I walk through the long‑term, “set it and mostly forget it” moves that make mornings more reliable:  cutting the phone trap—charging outside the bedroom and scheduling blocks—then replace screen‑based alarms with physical clocks to keep attention on what matters.  designing a realistic, timed morning routine anchored with visual prompts and a few small delights that make your brain want to participate. creating playlists that inspire movement.leveraging tech like sunrise alarm clocks and programmable thermometers to make your environment conducive to getting up. setting up external accountability—coffee meetups, dog‑walking, carpools—because the ADHD brain moves faster when someone else is counting on us. Sleep quality still sets the stage, so I point you to deep dives on getting to bed on time and waking up more consistently. Even with solid sleep, the ADHD hurdles remain, which is why environmental design, simple choreography, and tech‑assisted cues matter. Consider this an infrastructure approach: fewer choices, clearer signals, and repeated rhythms that carry you from eyes‑open to out‑the‑door with less effort and fewer stalls. Next week, we’ll tackle night‑before prep and first‑wake strategies you can use without even leaving bed. If these tools help, subscribe, share with a friend who battles the snooze spiral, and leave a quick review so more ADHD folks can find practical morning fixes.
