Podcast Introduction: "ADHD and Justice Sensitivity: How to Cope with Trump 2.0"

Do you ever feel like your sense of justice is cranked up to full volume—so loud it’s impossible to ignore? Like you’re walking around with an internal siren that blares at every unfairness, every hypocrisy, every outright attack on basic human rights?

If you’re an ADHD woman, chances are you’re nodding along right now. Justice sensitivity isn’t just something we care about—it’s wired into us. And in times like these, when the news feels like a never-ending stress cycle, that sensitivity can feel overwhelming.

With Trump 2.0 looming large, the fear, the frustration, and the deep sense of this isn’t okay are hitting hard. And let’s be real—there are people who want us to stay frozen in that fear, because an overwhelmed brain isn’t a brain that takes action. So in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to navigate this storm without burning out.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

• Why ADHD brains tend to have an intense justice sensitivity (yes, there’s science behind it!)
• How to process the big emotions without shutting down—or getting stuck in doomscrolling
• What effective action looks like so that you can protect your energy and make a difference

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a plan: a way to move through the fear, channel that fire inside you, and take action in a way that actually works for your ADHD brain. Because staying in overwhelm isn’t an option, and neither is staying silent.
