Podcasts about RSD

Women are told to be strong, but not hard. Confident, but not intimidating. Emotional, but for the love of God, don't be too sensitive. Apparently, there's some magical “just right” version of womanhood—but nobody seems to have the address. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil talks with Dr. Sasha Hamdani, board-certified psychiatrist, mental health educator, and author of Too Sensitive about why feeling deeply isn't a flaw to fix. They unpack rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), what happens when emotions hijack logic, how hormones impact sensitivity, and practical ways to regulate without stuffing, numbing, or apologizing for what's being felt. In This Episode: Why sensitivity isn't weakness—and can actually be a leadership strength What rejection sensitive dysphoria is and why rejection can hit so damn hard How to regulate emotions without suppressing them Why hormones matter more than women have been taught Why the goal isn't thicker skin—it's greater self-awareness and control Feeling deeply isn't the same as being fragile. The goal isn't to become less sensitive—it's to understand it, work with it, and stop shrinking perfectly human parts of ourselves just because they make someone else uncomfortable.

Parenting a kid with ADHD takes way more than standard advice; it requires understanding a complex brain difference that impacts focus, sleep, big emotions, and daily energy.In this episode, child psychologist Dr. Emily King and TILT Parenting founder Debbie Reber join Emily to give their perspective on what neurodivergent parenting looks like by challenging the "disorder" label, unpacking why behaviors shift between home and school, and diving into hidden struggles like RSD, time blindness, and burnout.From navigating evaluations to handling the gap between your child's age and their developmental stage, this conversation offers the honest, evidence-based grounding every parent needs.Tune in now, and reach out to Emily Edlynn to learn more about her 1-on-1 parent coaching!Listen and Learn: Should ADHD be framed as a medical disorder or a brain regulation difference?How pathologizing language impacts stigma, diagnosis, and access to support in both clinical and educational settings Why the name "ADHD" is misleading and how the disorder goes far beyond inattention and hyperactivity to affect emotional regulation, sleep, appetite, and energy management How to navigate the ADHD diagnosis process from choosing between a pediatrician and a full neuropsychological evaluation to gathering cross-environment data and shifting parent strategies for lasting behavioral change Overlooked ADHD traits that rarely get covered in formal evaluations and practical strategies to support your child without damaging their self-esteem How ADHD-related time blindness, task avoidance, and a lack of future-oriented thinking drive daily struggles like running late and better understanding your child's neurodivergent experience How emotional sensitivity, sensory processing, and energy regulation manifest in children with ADHD and autism and why a child's behavior can look so drastically different between home and school Why raising a neurodivergent child feels like "advanced parenting," and the deep isolation, constant judgment, and overwhelming family burnout that comes with itResources:https://www.dremilyking.com/The Neurodivergent Learner https://www.learnwithdremily.com/bookhttps://www.learnwithdremily.com/bookhttps://www.instagram.com/emilywkingphd/https://www.facebook.com/emilywkingphdhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emilywkingphd/https://www.debbiereber.com/Differently Wired: A Parent's Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781523506316https://www.facebook.com/DeborahReberAuthor/https://twitter.com/debbiereber Tilt Parenting Podcast 359 A Conversation with Dr. Emily Edlynn on Raising Autonomous ChildrenEmily Edlynn's website – contact her directly if you are interested in a parent group!

Your best friend leaves a box of tampons on your doorstep on the worst day of your fortnight — no fuss, no waiting around, just quietly handling the piece of the nightmare nobody else saw. And you well up. Real tears. And then you wait ten minutes to make sure she's gone before you'll even open the door, delete the thank-you you started typing, and walk off. Because you could not have said it to her face if someone paid you.If you're the woman who leaves a gift on a doorstep and runs, who dodges goodbyes with people she loves, who can't stand inside a thank you — you've probably filed that away as proof you're cold. Broken in the part where you're meant to feel things. This episode is Jane pulling that file back out and finding the opposite: it's not that the love is missing. It might be flooding. Masking, surface acting, and the wall that goes up right where other people let love in — and why every piece of advice you've been given points you the wrong way.CHAPTERS00:00 — Twenty-one, on an Emirates training flight, and my face is the problem01:34 — Learning the Barbie-princess smile in the mirror02:32 — The box of tampons, and the door I couldn't open04:45 — Ten minutes, a deleted text, and walking off in tears05:31 — The filing cabinet: 'there's something wrong with me,' opened at 2am06:22 — The goodbyes I swerve, the thank-yous I can't stand in07:43 — 'I'm not cold.

For thirty years, ADHD has had one wanted poster. Loud, can't sit still, disrupting the class, talking back — a boy. And you weren't him. So you walked past every checkpoint in your life — the GP, the teachers, the report cards, the parent-teacher nights — and nobody stopped you. Maybe someone said you were bright, you just needed to apply yourself. Maybe you got 'conscientious' on every report card. And conscientious doesn't go with ADHD, does it?Three different women can all have ADHD. All three can walk straight past that same poster on the wall, and not one of them gets stopped — because not one of them looks like the sketch. This episode is Jane putting three new posters up: the inattentive mum told to try harder, the 'too much' mum who apologises for her personality before she's said a word, and the 'fine' mum everyone leans on who's hanging off a cliff on the inside. See if you find your own face on the wall.Take the self-test: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/768431/173992641938064622/shareChapters 00:00 — The one wanted poster ADHD has had for thirty years01:25 — Three women, one poster, and why none of them get stopped02:17 — Who drew the poster — and why the quiet ones were never in the sketch03:54 — One Monday morning, one clock, four different mothers04:32 — The neurotypical mum, and where the difference actually shows up05:54 — Profile 1: the inattentive mum, told her whole life to try harder07:36 — The planner graveyard — six apps, four planners, three years of fresh starts08:17 — Profile 2: the mum who's always been 'too much'09:12 — Apologising for your personality before the conversation starts09:39 — The drive home, and the tape that runs every single time11:00 — Profile 3: the mum everyone says is 'fine'11:50 — 'I don't know how you do it' — and why it doesn't land as a compliment12:54 — Why she only rests when her body reaches up and stops her13:35 — The real reason so many of us slipped through — it didn't cost anyone else15:07 — If you've just been diagnosed: the relief, the grief, and what you can put down15:56 — How we actually redraw the posterWhat We CoverThe single wanted poster ADHD has been diagnosed against for thirty years — and why your face was never on itWhy 'conscientious' on every report card was a signal everyone read backwardsOne ordinary Monday school run, four mothers, one clock — and the four completely different mornings happening behind the same front doorsProfile 1, the inattentive mum: the permission slip she looked at on four separate nights, and why no planner, app or alarm has ever heldThe difference between a neurotypical mum forgetting the form and an ADHD mum forgetting it — it's not the forgetting, it's what happens nextProfile 2, the 'too much' mum: the verbal hyperactivity nobody put on a poster, and the tape that runs on every drive homeWhy apologising for your own personality before you've started talking should be a diagnostic tick in its own rightProfile 3, the mum everyone calls 'fine': the one who looks the most together and is the closest to the edge, and why 'I don't know how you do it' makes her feel more aloneThe uncomfortable answer to why so many of us went undiagnosed — not because our ADHD was lighter, but because it only ever cost usWhat there is to feel if you've been diagnosed late — the relief, the grief for what might have been — and the part of it you're allowed to put downHow the poster actually gets redrawn, and the one small thing that starts itFree ResourcesPreparing for Diagnosis — for the 'oh, that's me' moment, and what to do next — https://adhdmums.com.au/product/preparing-for-diagnosis/After Your Diagnosis Kit — for the relief-and-grief part, if you've already been diagnosed — https://adhdmums.com.au/product/adhd-mum-after-diagnosis-kit/Paid ResourcesPre-Diagnosis Workbook — the deeper 'get clear before you spend money on an assessment' version — https://adhdmums.com.au/product/prediagnosisworkbook/Assessment & Diagnosis Bundle — https://adhdmums.com.au/product/bundle-adhd-diagnosis-assessment-guides/Related EpisodesToo Much?

All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/181 Have you ever wondered if ADHD could explain more than you think? Maybe you've always considered yourself disorganized, overwhelmed, or someone who just couldn't seem to "get it together." What if there was more to the story? In this episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach Andrea Morton for an eye-opening conversation about what ADHD really looks like in women. Andrea wasn't diagnosed until she was 48, while one of her children was going through the diagnostic process. That one discovery completely changed how she understood herself, her past, and the way she now supports other women. Andrea shares both her personal story and her professional expertise as we talk about why so many women go undiagnosed for years, how ADHD presents differently in women than in men, and why understanding your brain can replace years of self-criticism with self-compassion. Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, are raising a neurodivergent child, or coach clients who struggle with organization and follow-through, this conversation will leave you with a whole new perspective. What You'll Learn: Why so many women don't receive an ADHD diagnosis until adulthood. The common signs of ADHD in women that are often overlooked. How hyperfocus, procrastination, and rumination can all be connected and can look differently than you might think.  What rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is and why it can affect relationships and confidence. Why understanding your brain leads to more self-compassion instead of self-judgment. Practical ways to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it. How ADHD impacts organization, prioritization, and running a business.    

What if the anxiety, emotional sensitivity, and overwhelm you've experienced for years are actually connected to ADHD? On this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice sits down with board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani to unpack why ADHD is so often missed or misdiagnosed in women. They discuss the emotional side of ADHD, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), hormones and ADHD symptoms, ADHD during perimenopause and postpartum, medication options, and why treating ADHD is about so much more than improving focus. Dr. Hamdani also shares the science behind her new book, Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

It can affect emotions, relationships, sleep, eating, executive function, and everyday life.Women are frequently missed because they may present primarily with inattentive symptoms rather than the stereotypical hyperactive presentation.Hormonal changes can worsen ADHD symptoms, particularly when estrogen drops during the menstrual cycle, postpartum period, and perimenopause.Anxiety and depression can coexist with ADHD, but they can also be diagnoses that obscure underlying ADHD.Rejection sensitive dysphoria describes an intense emotional or physical response to real or perceived rejection or criticism and can be particularly disruptive for people with ADHD.Finding the right ADHD treatment is highly individualized. Medication can be one tool alongside behavioral strategies and other forms of support.Dr. Hamdani emphasizes that the goal of ADHD medication isn't to make someone feel “perfect,” but to provide consistent support that allows them to function more like they do on a good day.Emotional sensitivity isn't necessarily something that needs to be eliminated. The goal can be learning to better understand and regulate it.Guest Bio: Dr. Sasha HamdaniDr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist who has both personal and professional experience with ADHD. After being diagnosed with ADHD as a child, she went on to become a physician and now specializes in treating ADHD and helping patients better understand the condition beyond traditional symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. She is also the author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply, which explores the neuroscience of emotional sensitivity, rejection, hormones, and practical tools for managing intense emotions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave interviews Alex Partridge, founder of UNILAD and LAD Bible and host of the ADHD Chatter podcast, to explore how Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) impacts adults and entrepreneurs with ADHD. The central takeaway from their discussion is that in the absence of context and clarity, the ADHD mind catastrophizes ambiguity, filling in the blanks with the worst-case scenario and severe emotional distress. They unpack the origins of RSD, the role of early childhood criticism, and how these factors drive people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and professional burnout. Key Discussion Points: Defining RSD in Adults: How Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria extends beyond childhood into busy professionals, driving catastrophic thinking in ambiguous situations. The Impact of Ambiguity: How unsaid details or minor shifts in behavior trigger a knee-jerk reaction in the ADHD nervous system to expect rejection or disaster. Alex's Personal Journey: The story behind founding UNILAD, the legal battle over ownership, and how RSD and poor self-esteem led to signing a detrimental partnership agreement. The 20,000 Extra Rejections: How children with ADHD receive significantly more micro-rejections growing up, shaping adult struggles with burnout and people-pleasing. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: The concept of "out of sight, out of mind" regarding personal achievements, and the strategy of storing tangible evidence of success to build confidence.

Have you ever replayed a conversation in your head for three days because someone might have been upset with you? Friend... same. This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I sit down with psychiatrist and ADHD expert Dr. Sasha Hamdani to talk about something that completely changed the way we understand ourselves: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).If you've ever been called "too sensitive," taken criticism way too personally, or apologized a hundred times a day, this conversation might explain why. Dr. Hamdani shares the science behind why so many people with ADHD experience emotions so intensely, why hormonal changes like perimenopause can make it even harder, and what we can actually do about it.We also talk about the surprising upside of feeling things deeply, because the same brain that feels rejection so intensely also experiences joy, awe, empathy, and connection in a really beautiful way. (And somehow we end up talking about WikiFeet. Because of course we do.)Whether you have ADHD or you've simply spent your life feeling "too sensitive," this conversation is for you.

My cats Mac & Cheese (see episode pic) have been having a hard time. I've learned a lot observing their reactive nervous systems because it's so easy to feel compassion for them.This episode uses that extended metaphor to also talk about when AuDHD nervous systems feel reactive, including with meltdowns that can include anger or violence. Depending on how much reactivity is affecting your life, it may require professional help. No matter what, you deserve compassion

The highly literate British psych-folk pop rock raver Robyn Hitchcock returns for his third RSD podcast appearance, this time to unveil his cracking new album, The Confuser (Tiny Ghost Records). Naturally, if you know Hitchcock, there are plenty of digressions into topics such as; people named "Roger," temporal literacy, trams and trolley buses, the polka dots of Angine de Poitrine, the culinary prowess of Gillian Welch, and why, as the author of two memoirs (including his newly published Stranded In The Future) he's often an "unreliable narrator" in his own life story.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Anger isn't the problem. It's what happens when the world ignores it. The Impulsive Thinker® tears apart the lie that ADHD entrepreneurs have "anger issues" — and calls out why nobody ever asks why.   In This Episode: Anger versus aggression — the difference nobody sees Why ignoring anger creates bigger messes for ADHD entrepreneurs How shame and gaslighting feed emotional blowups   What You'll Take Away: Anger is a signal, not a character flaw — aggression is what happens when it's ignored Shame keeps ADHD entrepreneurs from even feeling anger "Anger problems" are often society's refusal to listen, not yours ADHD, RSD, and other labels get weaponized to silence you The right question isn't "why are you angry" — it's "what boundary got crossed?"   ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Impulsive Thinker® takes on anger and emotional dysregulation in ADHD entrepreneurship. Why are ADHD entrepreneurs labelled angry when nobody asks what's happened to trigger it? This episode drills into anger as a signal, not a failing, and why mixing it up with aggression misses the real point.   Shame, dismissal, and gaslighting push ADHD entrepreneurs to a breaking point. Ignoring anger never solves it. The Impulsive Thinker® unpacks how aggression happens when signals keep getting suppressed and why asking "why" matters. This episode calls out how society uses labels like RSD and ADHD as excuses to ignore or blame. Real-world business situations — from customer service to team dynamics — get broken down for neurodivergent Entrepreneurs. You'll see why your blowups have a root cause nobody's asking about.   If you've ever heard "you're too much," "too angry," or been written off for getting upset in business, this episode is for you. Hit play if you're done being dismissed — and ready to hear what nobody says about anger and ADHD.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.   GUEST BIOPatrick Murphy is a former Wall Street Journal executive turned mental health coach for high-performing Entrepreneurs.

Ella McCrystal is a psychotherapist and trauma specialist who helps people understand how early life experiences shape the nervous system, self-worth, relationships, and the way we move through the world. Together we explore the hidden link between ADHD, trauma, masking, rejection sensitivity (RSD), and why so many people with ADHD feel like they have to become someone else just to be accepted. We also discuss how trauma can make ADHD symptoms feel even more overwhelming, why masking is often a survival response, and what healing can actually look like.

"I struggle with rejection, even when I haven't actually been rejected." At our last Couple's Night, one of the guys put his finger on something that has a name: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Check out the blog post here for more details and links.RSD is a wave of emotional pain that lands way out of proportion to whatever actually happened, and the rejection doesn't even have to be real. It is most strongly tied to ADHD, and in a marriage it can quietly do a lot of damage: over time the higher-desire spouse stops initiating, the marriage slowly goes quiet, and neither spouse understands why.In this episode I unpack what RSD actually is, how it shows up between spouses and in the bedroom, five things that genuinely help, and why none of it means you were woven wrong.In this episode:(0:00) Intro(1:13) What Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria actually is(2:00) When the rejection isn't even real(2:41) The ADHD connection(3:16) How RSD shows up in a marriage(4:11) RSD in the bedroom(5:20) What actually helps - 5 steps(7:05) Medication, and why SSRIs miss it(8:29) You're not woven wrong(11:09) Book a free ADHD discovery callScripture referenced: Psalm 139:13, Revelation 13:8, 2 Timothy 1:9, Ephesians 1:4, Titus 1:2, John 14:2-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Revelation 21:3, Luke 23:42-43, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13, John 3:16, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 22:17.Links mentioned:Married with ADHD - book a free discovery callMarriage CoachingSubscribe to our newsletterFollow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.If you'd like to discuss topics like this with other married Christians, consider joining our private forum.Thank you to all our faithful champions!If you'd like to support our ministry and see it grow, check out our support page for more info.

The Me That Remains isn't just the first original Amy Grant album in 13 years, produced by Mac MacAnally, it's a deeply intimate, stripped-down, folk-pop reflection on survival, aging, and reconstruction, heavily shaped by a series of profound, recent life-altering health events including a severe 2022 bicycle accident that left this multiple Grammy winner and Kennedy Center honoree with a traumatic brain injury and a long road to recovery.

You've tried the calendars, the timers, the hacks. They work for two weeks and then stop. Jenna Free says that's not a discipline problem. It's a regulation problem.Jenna is a counselor for ADHD with ADHD, author of The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, and has worked in-depth with over 1,000 people through her ADHD Regulation Method. Her position is direct: dysregulation is not a fixed trait of the ADHD brain. It is a learned response to a lifetime of friction. And it is the reason every other system eventually fails.We cover her three-level regulation framework, why she skips meditation and breathing exercises entirely, how dysregulated beliefs quietly block delegation and visibility in your business, and what physical signs most ADHD business owners have normalized as just a Tuesday.What We CoverWhy regulation has to come before any other system or toolThe three levels Jenna works on: nervous system, thoughts and beliefs, behaviorWhy negative self-talk and urgency feel like they work, and what they actually cost youHow dysregulation shows up as delegation avoidance and RSD in businessThe first practical step to start noticing and interrupting dysregulation todayConnect With Jenna Free Book Title: THE SIMPLE GUIDE TO ADHD REGULATION: The Secret to Finding Balance, Getting Things Done, and EnjoyingSocial Media Links & Show Notes:TikTok: @adhdwithjennafree ; www.tiktok.com/@adhdwithjennafreeInstagram: @adhdwithjennafree ; www.instagram.com/adhdwithjennafreePodcast: ADHD with Jenna Free; https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/adhd-with-jenna-free/id1801356817Website: https://www.adhdwithjennafree.com/Here is the link for the free PDF I mentioned www.adhdwithjennafree.com/adhdguide P.S.

When ADHD Blocks Stop You From Moving Forward That Apple title is unique, searchable, and fits podcast browsing/listening better. It focuses on the listener's experience and still connects to the episode themes of overwhelm, shutdown, emotional reactions, and getting unstuck. Apple Podcasts / Libsyn Description Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, shut down, or emotionally blocked can feel like hitting an invisible wall. For adults with ADHD, the first feeling that shows up — overwhelm, dread, avoidance, frustration, or feeling triggered — is often only the surface. In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy and Lynne Edris talk about what can happen when ADHD blocks stop you from moving forward. Instead of stopping at "I'm overwhelmed," "I'm triggered," "I'm stuck," or "I can't," they discuss how pausing, breathing, observing, and asking better questions can help adults with ADHD begin to understand what is really going on underneath the reaction. Tara and Lynne explore why overwhelm can become a catch-all phrase, how blame and shame can block problem-solving, and why emotional reactions, RSD, avoidance, and shutdown patterns may be signals pointing to something deeper. They also discuss the importance of noticing body cues, becoming a more neutral observer of your feelings, and learning what helps you move from emotional overload into clarity and action. This episode is especially helpful if you struggle with ADHD overwhelm, emotional shutdown, rejection sensitivity, negative self-talk, avoidance, or feeling stuck before you can take action.

In this episode, Andryanna sits down with Shannon Kalinka from Keep It Playful Parenting for a deeply validating and practical conversation about ADHD in children, nervous system regulation, emotional overload, meltdowns, transitions, and what parents are often misunderstanding about ADHD behaviour.Shannon shares both her professional expertise in child development and her lived experience as a parent diagnosed with ADHD later in life after raising two daughters with ADHD. Together, they unpack the daily friction points so many families experience and explain what is actually happening beneath behaviours that are often labeled as defiance, laziness, overreacting, or “not listening.”The conversation explores ADHD in girls versus boys, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), why direct requests often backfire, why transitions are so difficult, and how play, connection, co-regulation, and nervous system support can dramatically shift family dynamics.In this episode:Common misconceptions about ADHD behaviourADHD in girls vs boys and why it's often missed in girlsWhy ADHD kids don't need to “try harder”What's actually happening when kids say “just a minute”Why direct commands often increase resistanceHow to reduce friction around transitionsThe difference between meltdowns and purposeful misbehaviourRejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) explainedHow play supports regulation and cooperationParenting shifts that help ADHD kids feel supported instead of shamedPractical tools parents can start using immediatelyCONNECT WITH SHANNON:On Instagram Download The Play Lab PlaybookDownload The Toy & Activity MenuSubstack: https://substack.com/@keepitplayfulparentingCONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for blogs, giveaways, workshops, tools, resources and more.Keywords: ADHD parenting, ADHD in children, ADHD in girls, rejection sensitive dysphoria, RSD ADHD, ADHD meltdowns, ADHD emotional regulation, parenting ADHD kids, neurodivergent parenting, ADHD support for parents, ADHD behaviour, ADHD and transitions, ADHD nervous system, ADHD parenting strategies, emotional dysregulation ADHD, ADHD and play, ADHD and emotional sensitivity, ADHD podcast, parenting support, neurodivergent children

Greatest Hits Records & Books in Media, PA, is where our guests, Stu Eli, Jesse Gennett, and Dom Glisson cooked up the idea to record and release an "audio time capsule" of the sounds of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, a/k/a "Delco." The result is the 92-track album, The Sounds Of Delco, Vol. 1, a light-hearted but affectionate nod to their region and to the used sound effects records that wash up in the store from time to time.  Paul also pays tribute to Jack Douglas (1945-2026) the legendary music producer and engineer of classic albums by John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith Group, Aerosmith, and The New York Dolls, who passed on at the age of 80 on May 11.  For the most up-to-date news about all things RSD, visit RecordStoreDay.com Didn't find everything on your RSD lists?

Ever gotten 12 positive things in a performance review and one thing to work on — and couldn't stop thinking about that one thing? There's actually a reason for that, and it has nothing to do with being too sensitive or overreacting. In this episode, we're diving into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). We'll discuss what it is, why it's so closely tied to ADHD, and why it can make the workplace feel especially exhausting.What you'll learn:Why so many people with ADHD experience feedback, criticism, and even perceived slights so intenselyThe difference between normal embarrassment and what it feels like when RSD gets triggeredHow to start building a personal toolkit so you're not caught off guard when RSD hits at workWant to find out if coaching is right for you?

Does one awkward interaction, unanswered text, or small piece of feedback ruin your entire day? You may not be “too sensitive.” You may be experiencing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), especially if you also live with ADHD or an eating disorder. In this episode, Dr. Marianne explores why rejection can feel emotionally and physically painful, why shame spirals happen so quickly, and how emotional overwhelm can shape eating patterns, body image, and self-worth. What Is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)? Dr. Marianne breaks down what RSD actually is and why perceived criticism, disconnection, or rejection can trigger such intense emotional reactions. She explores how ADHD nervous systems often process emotions differently and why even subtle social shifts can feel catastrophic. This episode also examines how years of feeling misunderstood, corrected, excluded, or “too much” can shape the way neurodivergent people experience relationships and emotional safety. ADHD, Emotional Regulation, & Eating Disorders This episode explores the powerful overlap between ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, and eating disorders. Dr. Marianne discusses how rejection can quickly trigger binge eating urges, emotional eating, restrictive eating patterns, perfectionism, body image spirals, masking, and all-or-nothing thinking. She also explains why many neurodivergent people struggle to “move on” after rejection and why emotional pain can linger in the body long after the moment itself has passed. Why Food Often Becomes Part of the Coping Cycle When rejection activates the nervous system, the brain often searches for relief. For some people, food becomes soothing, grounding, or numbing. For others, appetite disappears completely and restriction begins to feel safer or more controlled. Dr. Marianne explains why these patterns are not about lack of willpower and why eating disorder behaviors often function as attempts to regulate overwhelming emotional states. Anti-Fat Bias, Ableism, & Emotional Pain Rejection does not happen in isolation. Dr. Marianne explores how anti-fat bias, ableism, stigma, and chronic misunderstanding can intensify emotional pain and increase sensitivity to rejection. She also discusses why marginalized people often carry higher levels of hypervigilance in social situations and why intersectionality matters when talking about ADHD, eating disorders, and nervous system regulation. Neurodivergent-Affirming Tools That Can Help Dr. Marianne shares supportive strategies for navigating RSD and eating disorder recovery, including sensory supports, low-lift eating approaches, nervous system regulation, and ways to reduce shame spirals without relying on punishment or rigid food rules. This episode focuses on building more self-understanding and creating coping tools that actually fit neurodivergent brains and lived experiences.

When Mel Sims discovered coaching, she was adamant that nobody could understand her life. Her journey into coaching allowed her to put down the mask, harness her strengths, and re-emerge into the world as a neurodivergent emotional coach.Mel trained as a coach while learning about herself through the lens of an ADHD diagnosis. As well as offering her a pathway of personal growth, these experiences helped Mel find her niche through the realisation that neurodivergent people need a particular coaching approach.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Mel speaks to host Joey Owen about different styles of emotional communication, and the many ways in which people can be misunderstood. She talks about how being an “unpolished” coach enables her to offer a space where people can let go of their need hide their feelings and be guided by an authentic intuition.Mel offers several brilliant metaphors and visualisation techniques that illuminate this episode, such as the idea of wearing a colander on your head as a way to filter information, and thinking of neurodivergent minds as stars that have become more visible in our world of modern telescopes and greater understanding.The challenges of time management, rest and staying grounded are explored in this episode as Mel describes how she tailors coaching to people who might need alternative approaches to scheduling, flexibility, communication and depth.Mel and Joey also talk about:The intuitive, bordering-on-magical connection that neurodivergent people share having navigated shared challengesHow to make space for emotional outpourings that can have a transformative impact in coaching sessionsA psychological technique that enables a kinder, more compassionate approach to self-coachingHow to own your weak spots and set healthy expectationsMel also explains why she starts some of her inspirational coaching talks wearing a snorkel, a diving mask and a pair of flippers!For more information about Mel, visit: https://melsimslifecoach.co.uk or @theadhdhummingbird on Facebook and InstagramFor more information about host Joey Owen, visit http://www.joeyowencoaching.com/ Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.comMusic by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

This week kicks off a three-part series on planning, and it starts where every planning conversation should: with honesty about why plans fall apart in the first place. Pete opens with his own cascading construction disaster at home, where raccoon damage set off a chain reaction of disruptions that has bled directly into his work life. Nikki's diagnosis is both simple and profound: when you make a plan, you're trying to predict the future with the information you have right now. When that future doesn't cooperate, the real problem isn't the plan failing. It's that we treat plan failure like a personal failure.From there, Nikki walks through the full spectrum of executive function challenges that make ADHD planning uniquely hard: time blindness that operates at every scale from individual task to entire month, working memory that drops the ball the moment you turn around, prioritization paralysis where everything feels equally urgent, the cognitive inflexibility that turns one bad morning into a ruined day, emotional regulation struggles and the sharp edge of RSD when disappointing someone is unavoidable, and sustained attention that evaporates the moment your environment gets interesting. At the center of it all is what Pete calls “fantasy Pete,” the imaginary version of himself who wields time like a saber and never lets anyone down, and whom nobody would actually like at a party.The antidote isn't a better system. It's moving from shame to curiosity. Nikki's framework: instead of asking what's wrong with you, ask what your brain actually needs. Find the friction. Learn your own flavor of ADHD. Build in margin so that when things go sideways, you have something left in the tank for recovery. The episode closes on Pete's central paradox, the one he returns to with clients again and again: it's not your fault, but it is yours. You didn't design this brain. But you're the one who has to work with it, and building that muscle, one honest conversation at a time, is exactly what this trilogy is for.If this episode hit close to home, we made something to help it land a little deeper. Your Planning Reflection is a free companion guide—just four honest questions to help you connect what you heard to what's actually happening in your own life. No productivity exercise. No grade at the end. Just a quiet moment to start paying attention. Links & NotesLattice by Pete D.

When Your Nervous System Borrows Someone Else's Vibes Patricia (she/her) shares a real-life update on navigating uncertainty, emotional overwhelm, and finding small moments of connection during difficult times. She reflects on the impact of global stress, parenting a child in the military, and how co-working and body doubling through the BREAM community unexpectedly lifted her energy.

PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

This might be the most vulnerable episode we've ever recorded. No guests. No buffer. Just Mayim and Jonathan…and something we didn't realize was quietly shaping Mayim's entire life! We're talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — and what started as a casual conversation turned into a full-blown personal reckoning. If you've ever: - Felt physical pain when you thought someone was disappointed in you - Spiraled for HOURS (or years) over one tiny mistake - Assumed you were getting fired every time your boss said, “Can we talk?” - Left parties early because you were sure you didn't belong - Become enraged, ashamed, or devastated over something other people say “isn't a big deal” …this is the episode to help you make it all make sense. Mayim & Jonathan break down: - Very real, very intense emotional and physical experience of RSD (the kind often associated with ADHD and neurodivergence, but not limited to it) - What's happening in the brain - Why logic DOESN'T fix it - Overlap with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, & rage - Why success, fame, or external validation doesn't magically make it go away - Whether extreme physical training could override emotional sensitivity Mayim shares stories she's never shared before: - Why being late to meetings triggers white hot rage - Why improv makes her want to cry - Why hosting Jeopardy! didn't protect her from feeling exposed - What it was really like making public appearances while starring on The Big Bang Theory And yes…you know they had to take a quiz. Follow along with us and share your results! This Isn't About Being “Too Sensitive”. This is about a nervous system that experiences perceived rejection as catastrophe. For some people, it feels like: - Being punched in the chest - Not being able to breathe - Instant shame and/or rage - Total collapse of perspective And if you don't experience this? You'll finally understand what someone you love might be going through. The Hard Questions We Ask - Is this just low self-esteem? - Are we over-diagnosing everything? - Is this a modern luxury problem? - Does having a label help…or limit you? - Can confidence actually fix this? - What you can actually do to cope And the most important takeaway: This isn't about weakness. It's about perception. And perception can shift. This conversation evolved in ways we did NOT expect. It's raw. It's personal. It's uncomfortable. And it might explain things in your life you've never had language for. If you've ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much more for me than for everyone else?” Start here.

This might be the most vulnerable episode we've ever recorded. No guests. No buffer. Just Mayim and Jonathan…and something we didn't realize was quietly shaping Mayim's entire life! We're talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — and what started as a casual conversation turned into a full-blown personal reckoning. If you've ever: - Felt physical pain when you thought someone was disappointed in you - Spiraled for HOURS (or years) over one tiny mistake - Assumed you were getting fired every time your boss said, “Can we talk?” - Left parties early because you were sure you didn't belong - Become enraged, ashamed, or devastated over something other people say “isn't a big deal” …this is the episode to help you make it all make sense. Mayim & Jonathan break down: - Very real, very intense emotional and physical experience of RSD (the kind often associated with ADHD and neurodivergence, but not limited to it) - What's happening in the brain - Why logic DOESN'T fix it - Overlap with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, & rage - Why success, fame, or external validation doesn't magically make it go away - Whether extreme physical training could override emotional sensitivity Mayim shares stories she's never shared before: - Why being late to meetings triggers white hot rage - Why improv makes her want to cry - Why hosting Jeopardy! didn't protect her from feeling exposed - What it was really like making public appearances while starring on The Big Bang Theory And yes…you know they had to take a quiz. Follow along with us and share your results! This Isn't About Being “Too Sensitive”. This is about a nervous system that experiences perceived rejection as catastrophe. For some people, it feels like: - Being punched in the chest - Not being able to breathe - Instant shame and/or rage - Total collapse of perspective And if you don't experience this? You'll finally understand what someone you love might be going through. The Hard Questions We Ask - Is this just low self-esteem? - Are we over-diagnosing everything? - Is this a modern luxury problem? - Does having a label help…or limit you? - Can confidence actually fix this? - What you can actually do to cope And the most important takeaway: This isn't about weakness. It's about perception. And perception can shift. This conversation evolved in ways we did NOT expect. It's raw. It's personal. It's uncomfortable. And it might explain things in your life you've never had language for. If you've ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much more for me than for everyone else?” Start here.
