Psych Spiels & Silver Linings

A conversation about adult ADHD: Clinically, personally, and beyond the stereotypes.

Adult ADHD is rarely just about attention.

It can shape time, motivation, emotion, relationships, self-trust, and the stories people carry about themselves.

In this conversation with Chris and Rowan Mackey, I talk about ADHD from both a clinical and lived-experience perspective — including diagnosis, stigma, medication, emotional regulation, relationships, practical strategies, and the relief that can come when someone finally has a framework that fits.
