ADHD Roundtable Ep 13 | When Brushing Your Teeth Feels Impossible: ADHD & Everyday Tasks

Episode Summary

In this refreshingly honest episode of the ADHD Roundtable, Jess sits down with Deanna and Breneshia for a deep, vulnerable, and surprisingly funny conversation about the everyday tasks that feel impossible when you live with ADHD. From brushing your teeth to remembering to eat, this episode gets real about executive dysfunction—and how we find ways to care for ourselves anyway.

The conversation covers the highs and lows of ADHD: hyperfocus bursts that lead to launching entire journals in a day, time blindness that makes being late feel inevitable, and the emotional rollercoaster of living in a world that pathologizes your pace. Tools like breathwork, voice journaling, and body doubling come up as lifelines—not fixes, but anchors.

✨ Highlights & Takeaways

• Executive Function Is Not Just “Trying Harder”: From cooking to showering, “simple” tasks often involve 10+ hidden steps—and our brains know it.

• Hyperfocus Can Be Magic: Sometimes ADHD lets you build an entire offering in a weekend. But it’s not always sustainable, and that’s okay.

• Voice Journaling = Underrated Gold: For ADHDers who process out loud, voice journaling can be more effective (and more freeing) than writing.

• Breathwork for the Win: Deanna shares how breathwork became her most reliable regulation tool—and how small moments make a big impact.

• Time Blindness ≠ Disrespect: The episode breaks down why being late isn’t personal, and why grace matters more than guilt.

• Feeling Your Feelings Is a Practice: Especially when you’ve been trained to avoid them. This episode invites space for emotional presence and gentleness.

• Food Is Hard. That Doesn’t Make You Broken: Executive dysfunction makes feeding yourself feel like a boss-level quest. The crew offers real, doable strategies.
