Episode 50: The Year of Reflection

2025 was my reflection year, the year Backpacking Through ADHD began, the year I found my voice, and the year everything changed. In this special season finale, I’m closing out my very first year of the podcast by looking back on the journey that shaped it all. I reflect on why I started this show, what I learned about ADHD in myself and my son, how my parenting evolved, and how this community grew into something far bigger than I ever imagined. This episode is honest, emotional, funny, and deeply personal. I talk about the realities of producing a weekly podcast while navigating ADHD, parenting, and life — and why, while I’m not going anywhere, 2026 may look a little different as I think intentionally about sustainability and alignment for the future. And for the first time ever, I’m joined by my husband for a powerful closing conversation. Together, we reflect on what this year looked like behind the scenes, parenting an ADHD child, supporting each other through growth, and walking this trail as a family. This episode is a thank-you. A reflection. A full-circle moment. Thank you for being part of my first year on the trail. I can’t wait to see where we go next. Listen now and keep backpacking through ADHD with me.
