Summary

Gratitude hits differently when you have ADHD. Jess and Jeannine break down why “just be thankful” doesn’t land for neurodivergent women, From toxic positivity and comparison traps to the emotional overload that makes gratitude feel out of reach. They explore the science behind dopamine, joy, and micro-gratitude moments that actually work for ADHD brains, without guilt or pressure. Honest, funny, and validating, this episode shows how real gratitude can be messy, inconsistent, and still meaningful.
