Episode 95 - ADHD and Cults - How we got in one and how we got out

Welcome back to ADHDville, where distractions are landmarks and the details are the main roads! This week, we’re diving into a wild and unexpected topic: ADHD and cults. Why? Because when you’ve got a brain that craves novelty, structure, and belonging, cults—or at least cult-like dynamics—can sometimes feel weirdly tempting. From authoritarian leaders to dopamine-fueled devotion, we’ll explore why neurodivergent minds might be both susceptible to cults and the first to spot the red flags and bail. Plus, we’ll share our own bizarre cult-adjacent experiences (including plastic cups, graveyard confessions, and a surprise cameo from P. Diddy’s producer). So grab your barley coffee or green tea—we’re heading into the bunker for this one.
