Extra Focus with ADHD Jesse

We’ve been quoting his book Extra Focus for years—so getting to sit down with author Jesse J. Anderson (aka ADHD Jesse) feels like a major level-up for ADHd20. We dig into adult diagnosis, ADHD myths that refuse to die, and why “just try harder” is absolutely not a viable strategy for the neurodivergent. Jesse walks us through his 4 Cs of motivation, and we all compare notes on system-hopping, shame spirals, and trying to invoice your way through executive dysfunction.

Also: fidget envy, secret middle initials, and TTRPG metaphors galore. We laughed a lot. You will too.

Triad Harder

Triad Harder

Matt loves all new things, often to a fault; Alison needs some coercing to find the things that she loves sometimes. But both of them want everyone, ADHD or no, to do their best to not fall behind on life's new things: closed minds can cause heartbreak! Matt then admits that he needs a little help from his friends sometimes to get stuff done—call it pairing, body-doubling, or anchoring, it's amazing for people with executive disfunction. But we leave the triads for playing music.Also: why did we get into D&D, exactly? -------------------This episode is dedicated to the life of an amazing teenaged septuagenarian, Tom LaPorte.

Strangers Things

Strangers Things

We start by talking superstitions and death. Alison admits that she's watched over 600 hours of Critical Role…in the span of 8 months. We speak to our proverbial security blankets for ADHD: things that keep us safe in crowds and from moving at half speed in difficult terrain.------------We recorded and edited this podcast using an incredible tool called Descript.

A new podcast begins as a new campaign should: with a Session Zero. Where Alison and Matt wonder whether a podcast about both ADHD and D&D would even work.
