We dive into key questions like:

• How do you perceive time? Do you visualize your week in colors, numbers, or shapes? Or does time often feel blurry or distorted?
• What’s your decision-making process like? Are you an impulsive thinker or do you overanalyze every choice?
• Do your emotions hit in waves? Or do they suddenly overwhelm you with no warning?

We explore how ADHD and neurodivergence influence memory, emotions, sensory processing, and decision-making, offering insight into how these brain differences affect daily life. Whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent, this episode sheds light on why everyone thinks—and experiences—life differently.

In this episode, we also talk about how ADHD brains manage time blindness, struggle with memory, and use creative methods for problem-solving.
