Welcome to the Debut Episode of the Born Wild ADHD Podcast! Hosts Justine and Lisa bring you the real, unfiltered truth of ADHD life. From tech fails to unplanned tangents, this episode dives into the mess, humor, and lessons of living—and parenting—with ADHD.
Episode Highlights
Justine and Lisa kick off the Born Wild ADHD Podcast with a hilariously relatable tech fail—a record button that needs pressing twice, plus Bluetooth struggles and even a rogue mosquito. They dive into the amplified demands of ADHD life, from juggling work, kids, and relationships to tackling everyday chaos. Justine opens up about sharing the mental load with her husband, while single mom Lisa talks about setting boundaries to stay sane.
Reflecting on their own upbringings, they explore the generational impact of ADHD and how they’re learning to rethink their parenting. Lisa shares her journey of simplifying life and saying no to what doesn’t serve her, while Justine discusses the challenge of prioritizing her well-being without guilt. In work, they agree that ADHD shines in flexible environments, with Justine thriving in freelancing and Lisa finding relief in a supportive workplace.
They close by celebrating the power of owning the ADHD label—not as a limitation, but as a unique perspective. For Justine and Lisa, ADHD life can be a “shit show on wheels,” but it’s also filled with humor, growth, and resilience. They encourage listeners to embrace the brilliance within the mess and make the most of their ADHD strengths.
