Hey friends! I'm excited to share something different with you - an episode from another podcast called ADHD Aha! It’s produced by the people at Understood.org, and it’s hosted by Laura Key.

(In fact, you might remember Laura as my guest in Episode 90 of Women & ADHD.)

This episode features Jessica McCabe, the brilliant woman behind the popular YouTube channel and New York Times best-selling book, How to ADHD. Jessica talks to Laura Key about motherhood, social anxiety, and ADHD medication …

How to ADHD creator Jessica McCabe has been the source of many ADHD “aha” moments — so what were her ADHD “aha” moments?

Jessica was diagnosed when she was 12 years old but didn’t start to look into what ADHD meant for her until she was 32. Taking ADHD medication felt like putting on glasses — experiencing the world as everyone else did. But she didn’t have the skills and strategies to cope with ADHD.

So, she started making YouTube videos...and the rest is history. Listen in as Jessica answers Laura’s many questions, including: What’s it like for her to be a new mom with ADHD? Does she ever get a vulnerability hangover? And why doesn’t she think she’s cool?
