About ADHDtime On Air

ADHDtime on Air is a podcast where ADHD authors, researchers, and creators sit down to talk about real life, memory, and the tools that support people with ADHD and the people who love them. What does it actually mean to live with ADHD in the real world? Not just the stereotypes or productivity advice, but the memory struggles, time blindness, relationships, emotional overwhelm, creativity, transitions, and the systems that help people move through daily life with more support and less shame. Hosted by Daniella Karidi, PhD, ADHD coach and memory expert, each episode blends cognitive science with lived experience. Conversations explore how ADHD shows up across the lifespan, from childhood and college years to career, relationships, aging, and retirement. Rather than offering quick fixes or productivity hype, the podcast focuses on thoughtful, evidence-informed discussions about how attention, memory, time perception, and executive function actually work in everyday life. This is not a space focused on “fixing” people with ADHD. It is a space for curiosity, nuance, compassion, and practical understanding. Through conversations with leading ADHD voices, listeners gain insights, strategies, and a deeper understanding of how ADHD affects everyday life. Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or simply want to better understand the ADHD brain, ADHDtime on Air offers conversations that help listeners move through the world with more clarity, confidence, and understanding, one conversation at a time.

   ADHD and Emotional Labor: Sharing the Work at Home

   ADHDtime on Air: ADHD and Emotional Labor: Sharing the Work at Home with Dr. Regina Lark You can’t do it all. But how do you share work that nobody else seems to notice? I’m joined by Dr. Regina Lark, professional organizer, women’s historian, and author, to explore emotional labor, ADHD, and the invisible work of managing a household. We discuss making that work visible, sharing responsibility, and letting go of the pressure to do everything perfectly. In this episode, we discuss: The planning, anticipating, and remembering behind everyday chores. How executive function challenges can affect household management. Why taking ownership of a task means more than “helping.” Using lists and Fair Play cards to make invisible work visible. Radical delegation, outsourcing, and embracing “good enough.” Creating community support for solo parents and caregivers. How disorganization, shame, and perfectionism can add to the mental load.

   ADHD, Aging, and Letting Go

   ADHD, Aging, and Letting Go with Jami Shapiro #24 What happens when ADHD, our relationship with our belongings, and aging intersect? In this episode of ADHDtime on Air, I talk with Jami Shapiro, ADHD coach, Certified Senior Advisor, founder of Silver Linings Transitions, host of the Grandma Has ADHD podcast, and author of This Explains So Much: Understanding Undiagnosed ADHD. Jami shares how she discovered her own ADHD after her child was evaluated, and how that diagnosis eventually changed the way she understood herself, her family, and her work. We talk about why letting go can be particularly complicated with ADHD, from decision paralysis and “someday” thinking to memory, guilt, and emotional attachment. We also look beyond clutter to a bigger question: How do we create homes, systems, and plans that work for who we are now and for the people we will become? In this episode, we discuss: ami Shapiro's personal ADHD story The connection between ADHD and aging Strategies for organizing and downsizing with ADHD The importance of planning for the future with ADHD The relationship between ADHD and resilience How undiagnosed ADHD affects family dynamics The impact of clutter and memory on mental health The significance of communication and documentation in aging The role of self-compassion and forgiveness in ADHD management Connect with Jami Shapiro Website: https://www.jamishapiro.me/ (https://www.jamishapiro.me/) Podcast: *Grandma Has ADHD *https://grandmahasadhd.com/ (https://grandmahasadhd.com/) Book: *This Explains So Much: Understanding Undiagnosed ADHD *https://amzn.to/3T7kR9p (https://amzn.to/3T7kR9p) Silver Linings Transitions: Senior and specialty move management and home organizing National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers (NASMM): https://www.nasmm.org/ (https://www.nasmm.org/) Connect with Daniella **Daniella Karidi, PhD, **ADHD & Executive Coach | Memory Researcher Website: https://adhdtime.com (https://adhdtime.com/) Podcast: https://adhdtimeonair.riverside.com/ (https://adhdtimeonair.riverside.com/) Instagram: @adhdtime LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellakaridi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellakaridi) Interested in ADHD coaching?

   ADHD LOOKS DIFFERENT IN WOMEN

   Why are so many women with ADHD still overlooked, misunderstood, or diagnosed later in life? In this episode of ADHDtime on Air, I speak with Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, an award-winning clinical psychologist, author, and longtime leader in the field of ADHD in girls and women. Sound bites "ADHD is very nuanced and complex" "Untreated ADHD can seriously impact women’s health" "Focus on quality of life, not just symptoms" Dr. Nadeau explains why women’s ADHD is often hidden behind years of masking, overcompensating, apologizing, and working extraordinarily hard to meet expectations. We discuss why effective ADHD care must look beyond a list of symptoms and consider the whole person, including her environment, responsibilities, relationships, physical health, stress, and quality of life. Our conversation explores: • Why girls and women with ADHD continue to be missed • The difference between being “bothersome” and being internally bothered • How masking can conceal significant struggles • Why treatment should focus on quality of life, not only symptom reduction • Practical ways to simplify daily life and reduce unnecessary demands • How a person’s environment can increase or reduce ADHD-related challenges • The importance of movement, nature, connection, and community • Why clinicians need more comprehensive training in ADHD across the lifespan • The questions clinicians and coaches should ask to determine whether support is genuinely helping We also discuss Dr. Nadeau’s new book, A Clinician’s Guide to ADHD in Women: Diagnosis and Treatment, written with Patricia Quinn, MD, and Michael Morse, MD. Although written for professionals, the book offers accessible and practical insights that women with ADHD may also find valuable. Dr. Nadeau also introduces the Institute for Lifespan ADHD Training, or ILAT, which provides practical, evidence-based, case-focused education for clinicians working with people with ADHD across the lifespan.
