THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MICS

About us

We're Adam and Donna, a real-life couple talking honestly about ADHD, relationships and everyday life. Adam has ADHD and Donna doesn't, which means we often experience exactly the same situation in completely different ways.

Adam

The ADHD perspective ⚡

Adam was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. On the podcast, he talks openly about his experiences, reactions and the parts of ADHD that can be difficult to explain to somebody who does not experience them.

Donna

The non-ADHD perspective 💜

Donna brings the partner's perspective. She talks honestly about the emotional and practical impact ADHD can have on a relationship, while also challenging assumptions and sharing what the same situations feel like from her side.

Why we started the podcast

After Adam's ADHD diagnosis, many of the things that had caused confusion and arguments in our relationship began to make more sense.

We could find plenty of information about ADHD, but we wanted to hear more honest conversations from couples living through it together. We wanted both people to have a voice: the person with ADHD and the partner experiencing its effects alongside them.

So we started recording our own conversations. We are not medical professionals or relationship experts. We are simply sharing what ADHD looks and feels like in our relationship, including the good, the difficult and the funny.

Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we really don't. That honesty is the point.
