This week’s episode of Backpacking Through ADHD is inspired by the hat “I’ll Bring the Good Times”, and the unexpected star wearing it: my dog, Lucky. But behind the laughs and cuteness is a much bigger message. Joy isn’t something we earn after we’ve checked all the boxes. For ADHD brains, joy is the fuel, not the reward. In this episode, we’ll explore the science behind dopamine and why stimulation, play, and laughter are essential for regulation. You’ll hear stories and wisdom from the ADHD community, ideas for building joy into your daily life, and reflections on how joy shows up in unexpected places, from dance breaks instead of timeouts to googly eyes on your office mug. Whether you're parenting, adulting, or just trying to make it through the week, this is your reminder that joy is not a luxury. It’s a strategy. Come laugh with me, learn with me, and let’s bring the good times, on purpose.
