She earned a spot on the highly coveted Cirque du Soleil roster and has studied with the French master clown, Philippe Gaulier, AKA “The Tormentor.”Episode Breakdown:Florence and Julia are joined by comedian Kate Owens for a conversation that connects ADHD, not being able to burp, fainting, tongue ties, chronic tension, and all the weird things our bodies do that nobody warned us about.Kate talks about her experience with R-CPD (no-burp syndrome) and what it’s actually like to physically not be able to burp — including the bloating, pressure, and the realization that there’s an actual medical explanation for it. The conversation also gets into low ferritin and iron deficiency, and how something as seemingly simple as low iron stores can show up as fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, and feeling like something is just off. They talk about the frustrating process of trying to understand what your body is telling you, interpreting bloodwork and ferritin levels, and finally finding explanations for symptoms you may have been dealing with for years.It’s part of a much bigger conversation about women’s health, ADHD, and learning to advocate for yourself medically — especially when symptoms that have become “normal” to you might actually be worth investigating.The girls also get into tongue ties, myofascial release, body tension, fainting, and the strange experience of finally discovering that something you thought was just a weird quirk might actually have a name.And, naturally, it all comes back to the brain.They talk about ADHD in women, getting diagnosed later in life, recognizing ADHD symptoms you never realized were ADHD, and what happens when years of seemingly unrelated experiences suddenly start making a lot more sense.It’s an episode about ADHD, bodies, diagnoses, and the extremely specific health problems you didn't know you needed to Google until someone mentioned them on a podcast.In this episode:• ADHD in women and late ADHD diagnosis• R-CPD / no-burp syndrome• Why some people physically can’t burp• Bloating and pressure from R-CPD• Fainting and weird body symptoms• Tongue ties• Myofascial release and body tension• Discovering there’s actually a name for your “weird thing”• Neurodivergence and understanding your body• Low ferritin and what happens when your iron stores are depleted• The connection between low ferritin, fatigue, dizziness, and fainting• Why “normal” bloodwork doesn’t always mean you feel normal• Learning to advocate for yourself when you know something feels off• And, obviously, a lot of oversharingSubscribe for new episodes of 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD and more conversations about ADHD, neurodivergence, relationships, mental health, bodies, and everything else our brains decide is relevant.#ADHD #ADHDWomen #WomenWithADHD #LateDiagnosedADHD #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #RCPD #NoBurpSyndrome #ADHDPodcast #ComedyPodcast #WomenInComedy #KateOwens #ferritin #lowferritin

This week on 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, we're diving into why exercise seems to do so much more than improve physical health—it can completely change how an ADHD brain functions. From rowing through college and accidentally discovering the perfect focus hack to why meditation, driving, and even showering spark our best ideas, we're unpacking the surprising ways movement affects dopamine, executive function, and creativity.

We also get into the reality of ADHD scheduling, the guilt of saying no to social plans, pricing your own work without apologizing for it, designing your environment to work with your brain instead of against it, and why traditional studying never made sense until we found learning strategies that actually fit how our brains work.

As always, there are plenty of side quests—including Batman, vampires, bumblebees that technically shouldn't fly, dolphins, and why catching a crab is something you definitely want to avoid.

If you've ever wondered why your brain works so differently—or why going for a workout somehow solves problems you've been stuck on all day—this episode is for you.

Topics: ADHD, exercise and dopamine, executive function, productivity, meditation, learning styles, studying with ADHD, ADHD relationships, time management, scheduling overwhelm, self-employment, pricing your services, environment design, creativity, rowing, focus, neuroscience, mental health, and neurodivergence.

This week on 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, Florence and Julia talk about friendship grief, adult friendships, social capacity, and the weird guilt of loving people deeply while knowing you may never actually get coffee with them again.

They get into the emotional reality of changing friend groups, inner circles, ADHD social burnout, and grieving beautiful relationships that still matter even when they are no longer active. Then the episode takes a mystical turn into birthday shrooms, ancestor meditations, Mercury retrograde, worm phobias, ego death, the gift of nothing, and why weeping willows are not good for the home.

A funny, tender, chaotic ADHD podcast episode about adult friendship, anxiety, transformation, bad omen trees, and learning that sometimes the deeper part of you is totally fine — even when your ego is screaming.

Do you text them… or do you let your nervous system breathe for five seconds first?

Today on 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, Julia and Florence find their way into going no contact, anxious attachment, & establishing friendship boundaries

They talk about ADHD “out of sight, out of mind,” knowing when space is actually self-respect, friendship hamster wheels, big mouths, being a pile of oil, and the hard but beautiful work of feeling your feelings without letting them run the whole show. 

A chaotic little episode about hair, healing, and not sending the text.

What does ADHD actually feel like?

Somewhere between a whirlwind of leaves, coffee-induced god mode, and… Pamela taking over.

In this episode, we spiral through the very real (and very chaotic) experience of living inside an ADHD brain — losing the thread mid-sentence, suddenly becoming a genius on the right coffee, and then immediately forgetting what we were saying.

We get into:

• The two speeds of ADHD: grounded… and absolutely not
• Why coffee can make you feel like God (or deeply unwell)
• The weird way alcohol sometimes helps you actually finish a thought
• “Pamela” — the version of you that shows up when your brain glitches
• Hormones, cycles, and why your energy makes no sense
• What it feels like when your thoughts move faster than you can catch them

If you’ve ever felt like a tornado of thoughts in a human body… yeah. Same.

We talk disordered eating, orthorexia, ADHD, therapy, impulse control, and the strange ways our brains try to find control.In this episode, Julia talks about her experiences with orthorexia, binge eating, obsessive health habits, and the overlap between ADHD and disordered eating.The girls also get into why ADHD diagnoses are so expensive, why many women don’t get diagnosed until adulthood, and how therapy changes the way you understand your emotions.we also get into-Meditation-Ego Death-The Magic CastleIf you’ve ever struggled with ADHD, food relationships, impulse control, or figuring out your mental health as an adult, you’ll probably recognize yourself somewhere in this episode.📱 Follow us on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/2curlygirlspod/

High-functioning ADHD, overstimulation, accidental 10mg at a wedding, and not knowing you needed alone time until it’s too late.

This episode starts with a honeymoon fund misunderstanding… and ends with an ADHD identity deep dive about high-functioning burnout and overstimulation.

We cover:
• Accidentally taking 10mg at a wedding (why is a serving HALF a gummy?)
• ADHD style conversations and why they feel electric to us
• Executive dysfunction, reminder rage & invoice paralysis
• Not knowing you need alone time until you’re already overstimulated
• Co-regulation and how roommates help regulate ADHD nervous systems
• High-functioning ADHD, masking, depression & “positive disposition”

We talk about the shame of feeling “too much” in conversation.
The guilt of saying yes when you’re already depleted.
And the weird experience of being deeply optimistic… while quietly exhausted.

If you’re a woman with ADHD, high-functioning but burnt out, or constantly realizing your limits in hindsight — this one might hit.

Chaotic & Tender.

Stay curly & ADHDepleted. 🌀

What even is flow state — and why does it feel impossible when you’re overstimulated, under-rested, and fully dissociating on your phone?

In this episode, we spiral through the three elements of flow state — active, passive, and neutral — and why doing dishes in silence might actually save your brain. We talk ADHD focus, context switching, why 9–5s don’t work for everyone, and the power of giving your nervous system a break.

Along the way, we also cover:

• The radical idea that being ugly is fine

• Why occasionally looking in the mirror could change your life

• Metal credit cards, Amazon subscriptions, and late-stage capitalism

• Aliens, outer space, and the theory that we all started as tubes

• Our producer getting fired (not by us) and why you should probably help us pay him

It’s philosophical, chaotic, self-accepting, and deeply unserious — just how we like it.

If you forgot what this episode was about halfway through — same.

Welcome back to 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD. In this episode, we spiral (lovingly) through a full-blown taste-test adventure featuring a mystery drink stolen from Julia's dog-sitting fridge as well as probiotic “yogurt surprise” gummies.

In between sips, we unpack:
• accidentally missing Father’s Day
• protesting with 25,000 strangers and crying at old men with good signs
• cowboy-boot commitment issues
• whether focus drinks actually do anything (they don’t)
• Janelle Monáe emerging from a pool like a bisexual awakening
• Welch’s “yogis,” spit emergencies, and the word “squirt” said far too confidently
• A can of ginseng tonic with a word so close to “genocide” we momentarily blacked out. 
• and a surprise visit from God’s HR department

It’s chaotic, it’s cozy, it’s slightly unhinged — and honestly? It might be our most ADHD-accurate episode yet.

🎧 Sip with us. Squirt with us. Heal with us.
(Okay we should maybe retire “squirt.”)

What do you do when life is falling apart? Obviously — you pretend it's fine while you work and party. In this episode of 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, we bounce from faking it till you make it (and crying in bathrooms) to code-switching, wedding photogs with baggage, and the real talk of living through breakdowns. Also on the table: parasite cleanses, poop schedules, and — the most important survival tool of all — curly bang tips.

Expect chaotic honesty, hair emergencies, and... ADHD

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever:

• ​Smiled through a breakdown
• ​Sprayed your bangs into submission
• ​Or wondered if Spider-Man could pull off curly hair

Ever catch yourself wondering if your therapist is secretly subtweeting you? Yeah… same. In this episode of 2 Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, we go from “does my therapist have a finsta?” to couples-therapy stardom, peeing a little on a trampoline.

There are celebrity name-drops, messy ex-drama, questionable boundaries, and way too much water drinking. Basically: curls, chaos, and therapy oversharing.

We also talk a little bit of early 2000's music

Hit play if you want to laugh, cringe, and feel a little less alone in the weirdness of being human.

✨ A chicken bone. A childhood. A duel. We said Montessori and suddenly it all made sense. 🥣🧒🗡️

In this high-energy episode of the podcast, we explore the mental clutter of unfinished tasks, the chaos of doing too much, and how ADHD brains manage both. From closing loops (yes, even that jacket with the broken pocket) to emotional burnout, we get into the real-life strategies and humor behind getting things done—or not.

We also detour into:

• Why grammar anxiety is real

• What Montessori education taught us (or didn’t)

• ADHD-friendly mascara hacks (hello, tubing mascara)

• Our strong feelings about Southern barbecue, biscuits, and the great chicken & waffles debate

• The concept of “mirroring energy” in relationships and conversation

• How commencement speeches and Will Ferrell helped shape our comedic roots

This episode blends mental health, ADHD insights, food obsessions, and spontaneous improv into a laugh-filled hour of relatability. If you’re someone who multitasks too hard, overthinks breakfast, or can’t stop bumping into doorknobs, this one’s for you.

This week on Two Curly Haired Girls with ADHD, we jump from crop tops and spandex struggles to the ultimate bang debate: DIY or salon? Julia and Florence break down the myth of the perfect bra, haircuts that involve metaphorical scalpels, and why your head might actually be… a pizza.

• ​Why sports bras give you zits 🧴
• ​The haunted search for the perfect satay sauce 🥜
• ​Pendulum baby names and Oprah memories 🔮
