This week, I’m solo on the mic — and feeling it — as I dive into one of the hardest lessons for ADHD brains: patience. Inspired by a weekend stuck on I-70 (again), I’m sharing real stories, including the birth of my son, and unpacking why waiting feels so impossible for us. We’ll talk time blindness, emotional spirals, impulsive decisions, and how to build patience like a muscle — even when every part of you wants to hit the gas. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this one’s for you. You’re still moving, even when life slows you down.

Today’s episode is a special one—because it’s personal. I’m sitting down with Matt Bonavita, an educator, dean, professor, and longtime advocate for neurodiverse students in New York City. But before I knew Matt the educator, I knew Matt the DJ—he was the one who rocked my wedding and taught me the power of letting go of rigid plans. We dive into everything from IEPs, emotional regulation, and the hidden lives of at-risk students, to how neurodiversity shows up in classrooms and even on the dance floor. This conversation is raw, real, and a reminder that kids don’t need to be fixed—they need to be seen. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone who believes in meeting people where they are, there’s something here for you.

In this week’s episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, I’m live from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums conference with a very special guest—Grayson Ponti, founder of ZANE and a passionate advocate for neurodiversity. We explore how zoos and aquariums can become more inclusive spaces for both visitors and professionals, especially those who are neurodivergent. Grayson opens up about his personal journey navigating autism and ADHD, what inspired him to start ZANE, and how his experiences have shaped his vision for a more accessible future in the AZA community. We also dive into the powerful conversations from the AZA Diversity Summit and discuss the importance of representation, leadership, and breaking through bias. Whether you’re in the zoo world, parenting a neurodivergent child, or walking your own ADHD trail, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and practical ways we can all help take down the veil of assumption. No worries here—just honest conversation, connection, and a shared mission for change.
