Have you ever walked away from a friendship feeling like you’re the problem?
In this deeply honest conversation, Caroline Maguire sits down with Jessica McCabe (creator of How to ADHD) to talk about something that doesn’t get said out loud enough: what it actually feels like to struggle with friendship when you’re neurodivergent.
Jessica shares what it was like growing up believing she wasn’t a “good friend,” always feeling like other people outranked her, and how that shaped the way she showed up in relationships. Together, Caroline and Jessica unpack the hidden gap between understanding ADHD and knowing how to connect with people.
They also share how their friendship has impacted each other in both meaningful and critical ways. This video is one you don't want to miss. It’s a real conversation about self-worth, social blind spots, people-pleasing, and why friendship can feel confusing even when you’re doing your best.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something everyone else seems to just “get,” this episode will resonate.
