AUDHD SPARKS PODCAST
detailed episode guides
39. Your Closet is Masking Too
Your closet can be another form of masking — and the difference between clothes that feel wrong and clothes that actually feel right.
38. AI Holds the Tangle
AI as AuDHD accommodation, not a luxury: how to make it actually think with you, where discernment matters, and why it's access, not a shortcut
37. Too Much (So We Made Ourselves Less)
For AuDHDers, exhaustion after work isn't necessarily about effort — it can be about misalignment. What fits looks (and feels) different.
36. Not the Five Day Workweek
For AuDHDers, exhaustion after work isn't necessarily about effort — it can be about misalignment. What fits looks (and feels) different.
35. Handles It ‘Fine’ (Internalized PDA)
If you closed the tab when PDA didn’t look like you — this one's for you. Internalized PDA & the AuDHD nervous system.
34. Don't Call Me Difficult
What if being called "difficult" just means you stopped hiding your needs? An AuDHD ancestor portrait.
33. Needing Opposite Things at the Same Time
AuDHD means needing a plan AND needing to break it — at the same time. Living in productive contradiction. Here's what it looks like to stop fighting that.
32. But I Was Doing So Well
AuDHD women aren't inconsistent — we're cyclical. What the "good stretch, then nothing" pattern is actually telling you.
31. When Did the Mask Creep Back On?
We were unmasking. Then life happened. This episode is about when the mask creeps back — and how we return.
30. Done Performing Normal
You're embracing your AuDHD identity. So why do you still go back to performing normal the second someone raises an eyebrow? What actually makes unmasking stick.
29. Friendship Without the Rules
Exhausted from performing "good friend"? Here's what connection can actually look like for our AuDHD nervous systems.
28. Making Up is Hard (Repair & PDA)
In AuDHD relationships, repair after conflict looks different. Talking PDA in marriages, demand-sensitive nervous systems & what actually helps us reconnect.
27. When Your Partner Is ND Too
Ah, neurodiverse love. When you're AuDHD & your partner is also ND, relationship advice often falls apart. So what actually works?
26. Peopled Out by Tuesday
AuDHD brains burn through social energy fast — when we follow society’s default. What connection can look like when you design for your actual brain & nervous system.
25. That Constant Scattered Feeling
Why AuDHD brains can't think our way to groundedness and what actually creates the grounding we’re craving.
24. Less Stuff, More Exhale
Too much stuff drowns AuDHD brains. Too little leaves us without what we need. Finding what actually lets our nervous system breathe.
23. Home Base + Escape Hatch
Geographic flexibility for AuDHDers: How rotating between locations can honor your dual need for movement and rootedness.
22. Independence Is Overrated: Multi-Gen Living
Living with your parents as an AuDHD adult isn't failure—it's ecosystem design. Why intergenerational living can mean connection AND autonomy.
21. Childfree & AuDHD
Why being childfree isn't opting out—it's claiming the auntie path. For AuDHD women designing lives their nervous systems can actually sustain.
20. Built to Hold Opposites
AuDHD brains need routine AND spontaneity. This paradox isn't a flaw—it's ancestral design. Learning to work with the dual nature of our brains.
