Why do ADHD moms go from talking about birds to debating Chris Evans’ best role in 2.5 seconds? Surprise—it’s not distraction (okay, not just distraction)—it’s your creative superpower. Here’s how ADHD brains are wired for next-level creativity (and how to harness it).

Who Should Listen

  • Moms who’ve been called “too much” for seeing connections no one else does.
  • ADHDers who hyperfocus on Pinterest projects at 2AM (then forget to eat).
  • Anyone who needs science-backed proof their brain isn’t broken—it’s brilliant.

What You Get In This Episode

  1. The 3 ADHD Creativity Superpowers
    • Divergent thinking (how you leap from birds to Chris Evans in one convo).
    • MacGyver-mode: Using paperclips for everything but paperwork.
    • Inventing truly new solutions (not just recycling old ones).
  2. Why Hyperfocus = Your Secret Weapon
    • How falling down hobby rabbit holes makes you weirdly skilled.
  3. The Dark Side >> Next Episode!
    • Why chaos kills creativity (and how to build a “stimulation station”).
  4. Pro Tip
    • Brain dump first to avoid abandoned crafts/half-written novels.

Bios

Caitlin Kindred: ****ADHD mom who once turned a cereal box and a paperclip into a Wi-Fi extender (it worked for 5 seconds).

Ariella Monti: ****The friend who documents your chaos and says “that’s genius, actually.”
