Have you ever walked into a room, forgotten why you were there, and only remembered after retracing your steps? Is there actually a reason our brains seem to work this way?

In this episode of Control Alt Think: Conversations with Neurodivergent Minds, ADHD coach Amy Voros and Megan King, Parent Focus Coach, explore the fascinating connection between memory, emotion, and sensory experiences. They discuss how memories are tied to much more than facts alone—linking together emotions, environments, sounds, light, and other sensory cues that help our brains make sense of the world.

The conversation also dives into why people with ADHD often use dramatic language to describe their experiences, how emotional states can shape the words we choose, and why understanding the neuroscience behind these patterns matters. As always, Amy and Megan blend lived experience, curiosity, and practical insights while reminding listeners that not every question has a simple answer—and that's okay.

Whether you're neurodivergent, supporting someone with ADHD, or simply curious about how memory and emotions work together, this episode offers thoughtful discussion, relatable moments, and plenty of "wait... is that why I do that?" moments.
