Everything’s Perfect…Except Our Brains Have 47 Tabs Open

In this episode, Autumn and Donald dive into what it actually feels like to live with a constantly busy brain. From overwhelm and distraction, to hyperfocus and random deep dives that take over your entire day.They talk about growing up undiagnosed, being labeled “flighty” or “lazy,” and how differently their brains actually work, especially when it comes to learning, focus, and productivity.Autumn shares her son Dom’s ADHD diagnosis and how changing the way he learns completely transformed his confidence and success. They also get into how ADHD shows up in everyday life—from interrupting conversations and forgetting tasks to needing movement just to think clearly.The conversation blends humor with real insight, especially around how social media, constant communication, and modern life make it even harder to focus, and why understanding your own patterns is key to actually getting things done.HIGHLIGHTS00:00 – Post-workout chaos + “too many tabs open” brain 04:00 – Growing up undiagnosed + being labeled “flighty” 05:30 – Dom’s ADHD diagnosis + why traditional school wasn’t working 08:00 – ADHD as a strength when you understand it 10:00 – Why movement helps focus (and sitting still doesn’t) 15:00 – Hyperfixation + going down random rabbit holes 19:00 – Interrupting, forgetting, and everyday ADHD moments 24:30 – Productivity struggles + why simple tasks feel hard 26:00 – Social media + constant input overwhelming your brain 31:00 – Reading something 5 times and still not processing it 35:00 – How ADHD shows up in childhood (and gets missed) 41:00 – Communicating when you can’t focus 44:30 – Understanding your patterns + building routines that work 50:00 – Final thoughts + when to seek real support💬 Join the ConversationGot a brain like this too?
