In this raw and personal episode, I open up about my journey with alcohol dependency—how I struggled with moderation, what finally pushed me toward sobriety, and the surprising ways it transformed my ADHD experience. If you've ever wondered about the connection between ADHD and alcohol use, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

I also dive deep into Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)—what it is, how it shows up in kids (and adults!), and why traditional parenting strategies often backfire. I share what I’ve learned from my own experiences and offer a fresh perspective on supporting kids with PDA by understanding their nervous system and need for autonomy.

Plus, we’re tackling some big, often-ignored topics:

🔥 The shocking link between alcohol and cancer—what you NEED to know.

💊 The stigma around ADHD medication—why it's harmful and how we can push back.

This episode is packed with real talk, science, and personal insights to help you navigate ADHD with more clarity and confidence. Tune in now!

Episode Recourses:

Alcohol and Cancer Risk

The Clinically Meaningful Link Between Alcohol Use and ADHD
