  • BONUS: Breaking the Scroll Cycle
    Jun 20 2025

    In this bonus episode, Katie and Sam reflect on their conversation with clinical psychologist Dr Gilly Kahn about ADHD, screen time, and social media- and how it hit home.

    They open up about their own love-hate relationships with their phones from endless scrolling and accidental time-loss, to the guilt of modelling digital overload for their kids. Together they explore what makes tech so addictive for ADHD brains, how to build healthier digital habits and why it’s not about ditching devices altogether but using them with intention.

    With personal stories, practical ideas, and plenty of honesty, this is a thoughtful look at why setting boundaries with screens can feel so difficult- especially for ADHDers.

  • Is Screen Time Worsening Your ADHD?
    Jun 18 2025

    Is your phone a lifeline, a trap - or maybe both - if you have ADHD?

    This week, Sam and Katie are joined by clinical psychologist, ADHD advocate and writer Dr Gilly Kahn to explore the complex relationship between ADHD, screen time and social media. From dopamine dips and impulsive scrolling to the guilt that comes after a binge-watch spiral, they dig into why tech can feel both essential and overwhelming for neurodivergent minds.

    Together, they unpack how screens affect focus, sleep and self-esteem and why so many people with ADHD struggle to set boundaries around devices. Gilly shares her own story of taking a seven-year break from social media, offers science-backed insights on behavioural addiction, and gives practical strategies to help you use your phone with intention (instead of it using you).

    Whether you're constantly doom-scrolling or just curious about why logging off feels so hard, this episode is full of clarity, compassion and helpful tools.

  • BONUS: How to Remember When Your Brain Won’t
    Jun 13 2025

    In this bonus episode, Katie and Sam get real about ADHD and memory- from forgotten birthdays to misplaced cars- and the practical, emotional, and occasionally hilarious fallout that follows.

    They’re joined by ADHD coach Aoife Hughes, who shares compassionate, science-backed strategies for building memory scaffolding, reducing shame, and understanding what our brains actually need. Together, they unpack radical acceptance, emotional overwhelm, and why writing things down is more powerful than you think. Whether you’re over-relying on tech or just tired of saying “sorry I forgot,” this is a gentle, empowering reminder that support, safety, and sticky notes all have a place in the ADHD toolbox.
