SUMMARY:

What happens when a clinical psychologist known for helping ADHD adults “get it all done” joins two ragey, hilarious, perimenopausal podcasters who can’t remember what they walked into the room for?

In this episode of ADHD Peri Punks, hosts Sarah Glasco and Chrissy Powers welcome Dr. Ari Tuckman (PsyD) — psychologist, author of The ADHD Productivity Manual, and co-chair of the CHADD/ADDA/ACO Conference — to explore what productivity really means when your dopamine is crashing and your hormones have filed for divorce.

Together, they unpack: 🧠 Why “getting it all done” is the wrong goal for ADHDers 🔥 How perimenopause disrupts executive function, motivation, and emotional regulation 🩺 Why most therapists and researchers still ignore hormonal impacts in ADHD treatment 💬 How clinicians (especially male ones!) can better support women in midlife 💪 Practical strategies for working with your brain instead of fighting it

Plus, Ari bravely takes the ADHD Peri Punks Pop Quiz — a five-question test on ADHD and menopause that proves once and for all that even experts are still learning.

Dr. Tuckman’s decades of experience, humor, and humility make this one of our most balanced and insightful episodes yet — a bridge between evidence-based psychology and lived neurodivergent experience.

Whether you’re a therapist, an ADHD adult trying to stay afloat, or someone who’s ever screamed into the void over a broken to-do list, this episode reminds you: you don’t need to “get it all done” to be doing enough.

SUMMARY:

In this episode of ADHD Peri Punks, hosts Chrissy and Sarah talk with artist, Black feminist, and Mental Health Fairy Godmother Ronide "Roro" Comeau of Anxious Black Girl Comics. We discuss:

✨ Why it’s critical to start learning about neurodivergence and hormones before perimenopause

🌎 How she navigates racism and misogyny in mental health spaces and the reality of systemic racism in creative spaces, too

💖 Why softness and vulnerability are radical and revolutionary -especially for Black women - and how she holds onto them

🖕 How she balances marriage, magic, and middle fingers

If you’ve ever felt like your softness was weakness, or like the world didn’t have room for both your rage and your joy — this episode is your permission slip to take up space anyway.

Basically... you can be anxious but still that bitch — in art, advocacy, and mental health before, during, and after perimenopause.
