This month on The Rewind: I’m back from a grounding week in Jamaica with family, deep in a Dungeon Crawler book series I can’t put down, and fully spiraling into the Real Housewives Cinematic Universe (send help, or don’t — I’m having a great time). I get into what’s been living rent-free in my head with the Lindsey Clancy case, why curry goat will always be my last-meal pick, and the small morning routine I’m trying to actually stick to. Books, basketball hoops, lion’s mane coffee, and the WNBA playoff run — it’s all in here.

In this episode:

• 📚 Read: Helen of Nowhere, Dungeon Crawler, Fever in the Heartland

• 🍽️ Eating: curry goat, chicken patties, buldak noodles, salmon bowls

• 🎮 Playing: Lego, indoor basketball, gym habit-building

• 🔍 Obsessed: the Lindsey Clancy case

• 📺 Recommend: Real Housewives (Salt Lake, NY, Rhode Island, London, Ultimate Girls Trip), Top Chef

• 🎁 Treated: new watch strap, 10 notebooks, coffee machine, lion’s mane coffee

• ✨ Extras: a week home in Jamaica, getting health-conscious, WNBA playoffs, building a morning routine

• The multilingual celebrities with ADHD — Trevor Noah, Zoe Saldaña, Shakira, Michelle Rodriguez, and will.i.am

• Why there’s no scientific link between ADHD and polyglot-ism — but a lot of overlap in the traits

• The upside: hyperfocus, novelty-seeking, and pattern recognition

• The downside: the intermediate plateau, working memory struggles, and my own mix of dyslexia and speaking perfectionism

• A practical system for learning languages with an ADHD brain — language rotation, the “Lego” method, dopamine hacks, and outsmarting executive dysfunction

Welcome to the Spiral.
