MENGENAI EPISOD INI
This is a good one y'all! I sat down with author of "Nowhere Girl; Life as a Member of ADHD's Lost Generation" Carla Ciccone to talk about the massive ADHD awakening happening in millennial mothers right now — and why so many of us are getting diagnosed in our 30s and 40s instead of, you know, decades ago when it actually would've solved so many problems.
We get into it all: the wanderer gene (DRD4) and why our ancestors literally crossed the Bering Strait, the epigenetics of "genetics load the gun, environment pulls the trigger," why girls were taught to mask while boys got a free pass, the 20,000 corrections kids with ADHD hear before age 10, dinner table trauma, perimenopause as the great unmasking, internalized ableism, burnout, autoimmune flare-ups as the body's last resort for getting our attention, and yes, talking to trees.
This is for every woman who's ever thought "I did pretty good considering nobody understood how my brain works" and is only now learning she was never the problem — just under-supported, misread, and shamed for being wired differently.
Grab tissues. Grab your inner child. Let's go!
