ADHDtime On Air
ADHDtime on Air is a podcast where ADHD authors, researchers, and creators sit down to talk about real life, memory, and the tools that support people with ADHD and the people who love them. What does it actually mean to live with ADHD in the real world? Not just the stereotypes or productivity advice, but the memory struggles, time blindness, relationships, emotional overwhelm, creativity, transitions, and the systems that help people move through daily life with more support and less shame. Hosted by Daniella Karidi, PhD, ADHD coach and memory expert, each episode blends cognitive science with lived experience. Conversations explore how ADHD shows up across the lifespan, from childhood and college years to career, relationships, aging, and retirement. Rather than offering quick fixes or productivity hype, the podcast focuses on thoughtful, evidence-informed discussions about how attention, memory, time perception, and executive function actually work in everyday life. This is not a space focused on “fixing” people with ADHD. It is a space for curiosity, nuance, compassion, and practical understanding. Through conversations with leading ADHD voices, listeners gain insights, strategies, and a deeper understanding of how ADHD affects everyday life. Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or simply want to better understand the ADHD brain, ADHDtime on Air offers conversations that help listeners move through the world with more clarity, confidence, and understanding, one conversation at a time.
