Episode Summary
ADHD isn’t just about “wiggly boys” or forgetting your keys—it’s a brain-based self-management challenge that can quietly derail your finances, relationships, and work life. In this episode, Mark talks with ADHD coach Chelsey Summers, a former speech therapist who turned her post-diagnosis burnout into a coaching practice that helps adults with executive function overwhelm. They dive into real-life symptoms like time blindness, productive procrastination (a.k.a. color-coding your bookshelf instead of doing the dishes), and the emotional tax of always feeling behind. You’ll learn how ADHD shows up in business-owning families, how to scaffold your life for success, and why getting diagnosed is just the first step—not the solution. Whether you're the one with ADHD or you're married to them, this episode might explain more than you expect.
