## Resource

Today’s episode is pure joy. I’m hanging out with old friends of the podcast Cate Osborn and Erik Gude , two of the most creative, thoughtful, and FUN voices in the ADHD world. And this conversation goes everywhere in the best possible way. Cate is a certified sex educator (yes, we go there) whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Cosmopolitan , and you probably know her from Sorry I Missed This on Understood. Erik is her co-host on Catie and Erik’s Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure and the brilliant mind behind the viral ADHD Crafting Challenge on TikTok. Together, they wrote The ADHD Field Guide for Adults , a smart, hilarious, deeply validating, actually-accessible guide that fills the massive info gap so many of us experience after diagnosis. And friends… this conversation is a ride. We talk about: 🔥 What ADHDers are struggling with right now 🔥 The loudest themes in their DMs 🔥 ADHD internet culture — what’s helping and what’s… not 🔥 Self-diagnosis, identity, and taking responsibility without self-blame 🔥 Relationships, intimacy, and rejection sensitivity There is so much laughter. So many “OH MY GOSH YES” moments. And the core message that comes through again and again: You are not broken. You are not lazy. You are not a f*ckup. This episode feels like sitting at the cool ADHD table with people who get it .
