Refocused, A Podcast All About ADHD – Details, episodes & analysis

In the midst of our little rest-n-relaxation break we’ve been taking the last couple of month, we somehow found ourselves diving into another project that we can’t wait to share with you soon! While we iron out those details, enjoy another incredible conversation we had back in 2022 during ADHD Awareness Month.

Today’s guest is a name we know you’ll recognize. Dani Donovan is one of the OGs of ADHD content creation, sharing her journey and perspective on how the disorder shows up in her life so generously with the world. Hear her share why she’s chosen this path and what its meant for her. Hint: Little Dani is screaming at the irony!

Dani and Lindsay also talk breaking down ADHD stereotypes, being a woman with ADHD and managing friendships, and the importance of workplace accommodations for neurodivergent people.

The Refocused team is getting some much needed R&R and while we do that, we’re replaying some of the incredible conversations we had during our very first Refocused, Together in 2022.

Today, we’re going back to our conversation with Sarah Dimeo. Sarah was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 37 and happened years before the pandemic started. There’s so much to relate to in Sarah’s story – her struggles with setting boundaries and prioritization with her career, the immense amount of work she’s had to put in on building her self-love and acceptance, and the lessons she had to learn – some of them over and over again – to finally find her way out of the burnout cycle.

Today, we’re continuing our conversation with Dr. Ari Tuckman, exploring one of the most frustrating and baffling quirks people with ADHD deal with on a daily basis – Time Blindness. 

In today's episode, we’ll learn more about the ways time blindness affects our executive functioning, how the pandemic and technology changed how people relate to time, plus we’ll talk about ways you can feel more successful in managing time blindness issues in your own life. 

This is part two of our conversation. We highly recommend going back to episode 134: Understanding ADHD and Time Blindness with Dr. Ari Tuckman and listening to that before you get started on this episode. 

You can also learn more about Dr. Ari Tuckman and the work he’s doing within the ADHD community through his website here.
