300th EPISODE, BABY!!!! Today, I’m sitting down with Maddie Novy, a teacher who also has ADHD, to talk about what it’s really like to juggle the demands of a classroom while managing this unique brain.

Maddie shares her story, including:

1. Her personal ADHD journey and how she’s handled medication ups and downs.
2. The challenges of planning and problem-solving as an educator (spoiler: it’s not easy!).
3. How perfectionism has shown up in her work—and what she’s doing to overcome it.
4. The art of staying emotionally regulated while working with kids who are full of BIG feelings.

If you’re an educator with ADHD, or just curious about how to thrive in a challenging profession with this diagnosis, you’re going to love this conversation. Maddie’s insight and encouragement will leave you feeling seen and supported.
