25 AGO 2026 · In this episode we explore self-compassion when progress feels slow, focusing on the real daily struggles of adult ADHD rather than empty motivation. We unpack how unfinished projects and untouched to-do lists trigger harsh inner criticism that only deepens avoidance and stalls momentum further. Through personal stories of stalled reports, forgotten follow-ups, and time blindness that makes weeks vanish unnoticed, we reveal why beating yourself up rarely restarts action and instead adds another layer of resistance.
Key takeaways include:
- Slow progress often signals executive function limits, not personal failure
- Shifting from self-attack to gentle acknowledgment can restart stalled tasks
- Small mindset changes reduce the gap between intention and reality
Tune in for practical ways to speak to yourself differently and finally move forward without the weight of constant judgment.

18 AGO 2026 · In this episode of ADHD: Making Sense of It, we tackle managing stress at work and home that hits harder because of ADHD. The pressure often feels constant yet shifts with each setting—from piling deadlines and meetings at work to switching into chores and family needs without structure at home. These transitions spark extra friction that people without ADHD rarely notice, leading to faster stress buildup and spillover that colors both environments. Aaron shares a personal story of a missed deadline that turned a simple home question into tension, plus listener stories showing real patterns. We unpack why standard tips fall short for ADHD brains and offer tools that fit the moment without extra steps.
Key takeaways:
- Spot the mismatch between your wiring and daily demands to reduce self-blame
- Use practical, low-step tools to handle urgency and energy dips in the moment
- Break the work-home spillover cycle before it feeds itself
- Test ideas immediately to manage the ordinary friction of connected settings

11 AGO 2026 · In this episode of ADHD: Making Sense of It, Aaron explores communication skills that reduce conflict for listeners navigating ADHD in daily relationships. He recounts a tense argument with his partner over a forgotten chore that spiraled into defensiveness, mirroring similar flare-ups during fast-changing work deadlines. Drawing on Russell Barkley's research about impulse control and emotional regulation, the discussion highlights how ADHD wiring can turn small misunderstandings into lingering tension. Aaron outlines three practical skills: a brief pause to signal you've heard the other person, replacing vague promises with clear next steps, and a quick recap to confirm shared understanding. These tools work with your brain's tendencies rather than against them, helping de-escalate before emotions rise.
Key takeaways:
- Take a short pause before answering to acknowledge the speaker
- Replace vague promises with specific, actionable next steps
- End discussions with a quick check for mutual understanding

6 AGO 2026 · In this episode, we dive into the overlooked frustrations of ADHD attention struggles, like when a quick email spirals into endless scrolling and unfinished tasks pile up. Aaron explores practical ways to work with your brain's natural flow instead of forcing long focus sessions that often fail. Learn how tiny first steps, timed bursts, and physical boundaries can rebuild momentum without burnout.
Key takeaways:
- Break one task into a single action under two minutes to bypass initial resistance.
- Set a 10-minute timer on that task and stop when it rings, creating a clear boundary.
- Move your phone to another room during the session to cut distraction triggers.
- Repeat short blocks across the day to build progress through accumulation rather than perfection.
These strategies match how attention actually shifts, turning restless energy into small wins. Progress comes from consistent practice, not overnight changes.

4 AGO 2026 · In this episode, we explore the unique sleep struggles faced by ADHD brains, where the nervous system often stays wired long after the day ends, turning bedtime into a battle against racing thoughts and unfinished tasks. Aaron shares relatable stories of lying awake as ideas loop endlessly and explains why common advice like screen-free hours falls short without addressing hyperarousal. Discover simple, practical steps to signal rest, quiet the mind, and support nervous-system recovery for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Key takeaways:
- Use a wind-down signal such as turning off screens 30 minutes early and switching to low-effort activities like listening to quiet music.
- Keep a notepad by the bed to capture late thoughts and set them aside until morning.
- Try a brief body scan under the covers to anchor your nervous system.
- Name one daily accomplishment out loud to close the mental work loop.

16 LUG 2026 · In this episode, we explore why setting boundaries feels especially challenging with ADHD, from time blindness that distorts how long commitments will take to rejection sensitive dysphoria that makes the word “no” feel like a physical blow. Aaron shares personal stories of quick yeses to last-minute favors and extra work that spiraled into missed deadlines and burnout, then walks through small, testable shifts that create breathing room before you reply.
Key takeaways:
- Pause tactics that interrupt the automatic agreement reflex
- Simple scripts for real-life requests that honor your calendar without guilt
- Systems to handle emails and asks before they reach your inbox
- Why standard boundary advice often fails ADHD brains and how to adapt it

7 LUG 2026 · In this episode of ADHD: Let's Make Sense Of This Sht, we explore how everyday interruptions and unexpected changes can derail focus, and why understanding these triggers matters more than self-blame. From a ringing phone pulling attention at the worst moment to sudden schedule shifts sparking tension, we unpack the quick emotional and sensory spikes that often feel bigger than the situation. Rather than looping into frustration or the story that we should have handled it better, the focus stays on spotting patterns in attention and energy without adding shame.
• Learn to recognize ordinary moments that commonly trigger intense reactions in ADHD
• Shift from automatic self-judgment to neutral observation of what actually happened
• Test one small, same-day adjustment like a simple work boundary to reduce future impact
• Treat triggers as useful signals instead of proof of personal failure
This grounded approach turns reactive spirals into clearer, trackable insights you can apply right away. 📩 Have questions or want to share your experience? Reach out at adhd@senseofthisshit.com. Support the show: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/adhd-let-s-make-sense-of-this-sh-t--7148786/support
