In this raw and hilarious episode, Angie and Shelly talk all things ADHD—from late diagnoses and rejection sensitivity to body doubling and the spoon theory.

💥 RSD and Object Permanence – Rejection Sensitivity Disorder and why your brain forgets people exist unless they text you.
📅 Spoon Theory & Decision Paralysis – How ADHD brains often start the day with less capacity, and how that leads to spinning wheels and unfinished pantries.
🎨 From Hyperfixation to Productivity Hacks – Diamond painting, medication trials, and learning when to take Adderall (and when not to).
💬 The Power of a Diagnosis – Why naming the thing gives you the power to stop shaming yourself and start creating systems that work.
💻 Shoutouts to Our TikTok Fam – The chaos is real, the friendships are real, and the support? Absolutely incredible.
