Delayed Processing
In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked aspects of ADHD: delayed processing. While ADHD is often linked to impulsivity and rapid, scattered thinking, many individuals also experience a slower pace of mental processing—especially when it comes to taking in information, responding to questions, or transitioning between tasks.
We'll explore:
What delayed processing actually means in the context of ADHD
How it shows up in daily life, from conversations to schoolwork to emotional reactions
Why it's often misinterpreted as laziness, distraction, or lack of motivation
Simple, practical strategies to support those who experience it
Nathan also shares his personal experiences living with delayed processing. He’ll talk candidly about how it’s impacted his relationships, work life, and self-perception—offering insight into what it's like to feel mentally one step behind in a world that expects quick responses. His reflections bring warmth, honesty, and clarity to a topic that’s rarely discussed but widely felt.
Whether you're someone with ADHD, a parent, a teacher, or just curious to understand more, this episode will give you the tools to recognize delayed processing for what it is—and support yourself or others with greater compassion and effectiveness.

The Background Anxiety
In this episode, we turn our focus to a common yet often misunderstood experience for people with ADHD: background anxiety. This is the persistent, low-level sense of worry, tension, or urgency that hums in the background of daily life—sometimes unnoticed, but always shaping behaviour, focus, and energy.
We'll explore:
Why many individuals with ADHD experience constant internal pressure, even when nothing obvious is wrong
How this background anxiety can drive overthinking.
Effective tools for managing this anxiety.
Nathan adds his personal experience with deeply personal reflections on what it’s been like to live with an anxious mind in an ADHD brain.
This episode offers both validation and practical insight, helping you or those you support better understand the hidden emotional toll of ADHD—and how to soften it with compassion, awareness, and steady support.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
In this deeply personal episode, we explore Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)—an intense emotional response to perceived rejection, criticism, or failure that many people with ADHD experience. Far beyond typical sensitivity, RSD can feel like a sudden emotional crash, often accompanied by shame, anger, or the urge to withdraw completely.
We’ll unpack:
What RSD is, and how it's linked to the emotional regulation challenges in ADHD
How RSD can affect relationships and connection.
Healthy ways to identify, manage, and reduce the impact of RSD over time
Nathan offers real-life insight into what living with RSD feels like—from the fear of letting others down, to the internal spiral that can follow a simple piece of feedback. He’ll share how RSD shaped his early years, his adult relationships, and how he’s learned to manage those intense moments with greater awareness and self-compassion.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re too much, too sensitive, or never enough. Through understanding and vulnerability, we’ll reframe RSD as something that deserves empathy—not shame—and explore tools for healing.

Structure And Consistency
In this episode, we explore one of the most transformative tools for managing ADHD: structure and consistency. While the ADHD brain often resists routines or struggles with follow-through, the truth is that structure isn’t about rigidity—it’s about freedom, clarity, and support.
We’ll break down:
Why structure and consistency are so vital for the ADHD brain
How executive function challenges make routine both difficult and necessary
The difference between healthy structure and unrealistic perfectionism
Tools, habits, and environmental supports that make life easier—not harder
Whether it’s building a simple morning routine, managing your calendar, or creating smoother transitions between tasks, this episode offers real-life strategies that actually work with the ADHD brain, not against it.
Nathans insights show that structure isn't one-size-fits-all, but rather something deeply personal—and deeply powerful.
If you’ve ever felt like your days are running you instead of the other way around, this episode will help you begin to build systems that bring ease, focus, and flow

ADHD Strengths (Sometimes Referred To As Super Powers)
In this uplifting and reframing episode, we shift the lens from challenges to strengths, exploring the unique “superpowers” that often come with ADHD. While ADHD is frequently discussed in terms of deficits, it also brings exceptional abilities—especially when individuals are supported and understood.
We’ll explore:
The most common ADHD strengths, including creativity, hyperfocus, intuition, humor, and resilience
How traits often seen as “problems” (like impulsivity or distractibility) can also be powerful assets in the right context
Why ADHD minds often excel in crisis, innovation, and out-of-the-box thinking
How to identify and nurture your own ADHD gifts—without ignoring the real challenges
Nathan shares his personal experiences of discovering and reclaiming his own ADHD strengths, from his fast, idea-rich brain to his emotional intuition and deep empathy. He opens up about the turning point where he stopped seeing himself as "broken" and started recognizing the incredible value of how his mind works.
This episode is a celebration of neurodiversity and a reminder that ADHD is not just a list of symptoms—it’s a different way of thinking and being that, with the right environment, can shine.
Whether you’re just beginning to understand ADHD or have lived with it for years, this episode will help you see yourself—or someone you love—in a new, more empowered light.
