Description

From ADHD to All Things Neurodivergence! I'm a neurodivergent creative, and I'm teaming up with my neurotypical sister to unpack the chaos of ADHD, mental health, big feelings, and the wild ride of living with a spicy brain. Whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in the neurospicy trenches, or just trying to make sense of someone you care about, we hope you’ll leave every episode feeling a little more seen and a little less alone.Here, we mix sister talk with ridiculous stories. Here, we break down how ADHD physically and emotionally feels in the body. Here, we laugh our way through the sometimes messy (and wildly creative) ways neurodivergence shows up in real life. We believe you don’t have to “fix” your brain to feel better. This is your reminder that being wired differently doesn’t mean being broken. We’re in it with you. Our podcast is funny, honest, and probably the most validating train wreck you'll listen to this week.(New episodes weekly-ish.) 💬 Say hello on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/spicybrainstudios  🧠 Spicy Brain: Navigating Neurodiversity Through Curiosity, Joy, and Radical Acceptance.Tags: ADHD, neurodivergent, neurodivergence, executive dysfunction, masking, RSD, rejection sensitive dysphoria, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, autism, AuDHD, sensory overload, overstimulation, burnout, dopamine, mental health, time blindness, creativity, sibling podcast, funny mental health podcast, women with ADHD, late diagnosis ADHD, emotional dysregulation, productivity struggles, ADHD hacks, real talk, neurospicy, ADHD podcast
