Becoming Understood: What’s Really Happening Beneath ADHD Behaviors
In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, Tera sits down with clinical psychologist and behavior analyst Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer for a powerful conversation about what’s really happening underneath ADHD behaviors. Together, they explore emotional regulation, the nervous system, perfectionism, masking, and the difference between defiance and dysregulation—especially in children who don’t yet have the words to explain what they’re feeling. Tera also shares personal parenting moments with Grayson, including a recent experience on the baseball field that left her questioning how parents are supposed to respond when behavior looks intentional on the outside, but feels like something deeper underneath. Dr. Katrina brings both professional expertise and lived experience as a parent of two neurodivergent children, creating a conversation that feels grounded, validating, and deeply human. This episode is for: Parents trying to understand what’s underneath big reactions Women navigating ADHD and emotional overwhelm later in life Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood in their struggles Because sometimes behavior isn’t about defiance. Sometimes it’s a nervous system asking for support.

Becoming a Friend: Repair after the Impulse
In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, we’re talking about something that happens fast, often, and sometimes leaves a mark we don’t know how to fix: what happens after the impulse. This conversation is especially for ADHD kids who have ever had a moment they wish they could take back… and for the parents and caregivers helping guide them through it. When emotions move faster than words, ADHD kids can react before they fully process what they’re feeling. But this episode isn’t about shame, blame, or “fixing” behavior. It’s about teaching something deeper: repair. Because friendship isn’t built on getting it right all the time. It’s built on noticing, reconnecting, and learning how to come back after hard moments. Throughout the episode, Tera shares practical language kids can use, ways parents can model repair at home, and gentle reminders that ADHD kids are not “bad friends” — they are learning a more complex version of friendship rooted in emotional awareness, empathy, and resilience. This episode is also deeply personal. Although Grayson isn’t joining Tera for this conversation, the episode is written for him knowing he’ll listen someday — making it feel like a heartfelt letter to him and to every child learning how to navigate connection, mistakes, and belonging. Song of the Episode: Brave — Sara Bareilles Because bravery isn’t always loud. Sometimes bravery is saying, “I’m sorry.” Sometimes it’s asking, “Can I try that again?” And sometimes bravery is simply choosing to come back into the moment after wishing you could run away from it. If this episode resonates with you, please follow, review, and share Backpacking Through ADHD with someone who may need this reminder today. Keep going. Keep practicing. Keep becoming.

Becoming Regulated: When Your Nervous System Runs the Meeting
In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, Tera explores what happens when the body is carrying more than anyone can see. Becoming Regulated: When Your Nervous System Runs the Meeting is a conversation for women with ADHD who look composed on the outside but know how much effort it takes to stay steady underneath. Tera reflects on the difference between functioning and feeling regulated, the invisible load so many women carry into work, motherhood, relationships, and leadership, and the quiet ways nervous system overload can shape how we think, react, and move through the world. She also shares a personal reflection on what it means to feel safe in your body, the power of being deeply known, and why regulation is less about becoming less emotional and more about becoming more honest about what support looks like in this season of life. This episode is especially for women navigating ADHD in midlife, where hormones, emotional labor, and changing capacity can make old systems stop working the way they used to. If you’ve been wondering why everything feels heavier than it once did, this conversation is for you. Follow, share, and leave a review if this episode speaks to you. It helps more listeners find the podcast and join the journey. Here is a slightly shorter Podbean version too, in case you want something tighter: In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, Tera explores the quiet kind of overload that hides inside competence. Becoming Regulated: When Your Nervous System Runs the Meeting is for women with ADHD who are still functioning, still showing up, and still wondering why everything feels harder in their body than it used to. This episode unpacks the difference between composure and regulation, the invisible load women carry into work and home, and the impact of ADHD, midlife, hormones, and emotional labor on the nervous system. It is a grounded, honest conversation about support, self-trust, and what it means to build a life that feels more sustainable from the inside out.
