In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how neuroplasticity allows the brain to continue to adapt and change throughout life, particularly through focused attention and active engagement in learning. I explain how neuroplasticity differs in children and adults, highlighting the key neurochemicals required for adult learning. I explain science-supported protocols to boost alertness and improve attention, including techniques like visual focus and goal accountability. I also discuss how sleep, along with practices such as non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) and naps, support the brain to enhance learning.

In this episode my guest is Robert Malenka, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine who has made numerous seminal discoveries about how the brain changes (neuroplasticity) in response to learning and to rewarding and reinforcing experiences. We discuss the brain’s reward systems involving dopamine and serotonin and how they motivate us to seek out specific behaviors and substances. We discuss how these reward systems are modified based on context and our memories and how they can be hijacked toward maladaptive drug-seeking in addiction. We also explore how reward systems influence social connections, oxytocin and empathy and how that applies to our understanding of autism spectrum disorders. This episode should be of interest to those interested in neuroplasticity, social bonding, addiction, autism, learning and motivation.

In this episode, I explain how dopamine dynamics — meaning changes and interactions between our baseline and peak levels of dopamine drive our cravings and sense of motivation. I also explain how to leverage dopamine dynamics to overcome procrastination. I cover behavioral, cognitive, nutrition-based and supplementation-based tools to optimize baseline and peak dopamine levels to ensure a persistently motivated state. I also discuss how to boost motivation when you are in a rut, why you might not want to stack behaviors/substances that spike dopamine and how to build and maintain a “growth mindset” for pursuing goals of any kind. Dopamine is an incredibly powerful neuromodulator involved in basic functions (e.g., hunger, romantic attraction, etc.) and feats of cognitive and physical performance; by understanding the dynamics of dopamine, listeners ought to be better positioned to overcome procrastination, maintain motivation, and improve confidence. #HubermanLab #Dopamine #Motivation Thank you to our sponsors AG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/huberman Helix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/huberman WHOOP: https://join.whoop.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com/huberman InsideTracker: https://www.insidetracker.com/huberman Supplements from Momentous https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-huberman Website: https://hubermanlab.com Newsletter: https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network Articles Pain modulates dopamine neurons via a spinal–parabrachial–mesencephalic circuit: https://go.nature.com/3FPaFIH Dopamine, Updated: Reward Prediction Error and Beyond: https://bit.ly/3Gha0A7 Human physiological responses to immersion into water of different temperatures: https://bit.ly/3IumXX1 Effect of tyrosine on cognitive function and blood pressure under stress: https://bit.ly/3LSSHZq Tyrosine Improves Working Memory in a Multitasking Environment: https://bit.ly/3LSgCZ6 Books Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence: https://amzn.to/3TIWfj2 Other Resources Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPNW_gerXa4P6-7EC4twzLBjR22rQYk3u Timestamps 00:00:00 Dopamine 00:02:32 Sponsors: Helix Sleep, WHOOP, ROKA, Momentous 00:06:27 Dopamine Brain Circuits 00:14:53 Goals & Addiction 00:17:13 Dopamine Dynamics, “Wave Pool” analogy 00:20:28 Craving, Motivation, Pursuit & Reward Prediction Error 00:28:26 Sponsor: AG1 (Athletic Greens) 00:29:40 Feedback Cues & Reward Contingent Learning, “Scoreboard” 00:37:40 Addiction; Pleasure & Pain Imbalance 00:44:55 Dopamine Release & Addictive Substances/Behaviors 00:50:43 Addiction Recovery, Binding Behaviors 00:53:25 Tools: Maintain Baseline Dopamine Levels 01:02:08 Sponsor: InsideTracker 01:03:26 Tool: Deliberate Cold Exposure & Dopamine 01:09:38 Prescriptions & Supplementation: L-Tyrosine, Mucuna Pruriens 01:18:58 Dopamine Trough Recovery, Postpartum Depression 01:23:31 Dopamine Dynamics, “Dopamine Stacking”; Intrinsic Motivation 01:38:10 Making Effort the Reward, Growth Mindset 01:41:49 Tool: Overcome Procrastination 01:52:16 Tool: Meditation & Procrastination 01:57:01 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Neural Network Newsletter, Social Media Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - https://www.blabacphoto.com The Huberman Lab podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this episode, I explain how medications such as Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse and other stimulants work to increase focus and treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I explain the brain circuits involved in focus and the key roles dopamine and norepinephrine play in their regulation. Then I explain how stimulants such as Adderall and Vyvanse can increase focus and reduce hyperactivity in kids or adults with ADHD, and how and why Ritalin and other medications (e.g., Modafinil, Guanfacine) may work better for some. I explain the long-term effects of ADHD medications on height, cardiovascular health, hormones, predisposition to addiction and psychosis, and whether these treatments can be used and then stopped. I also discuss the immense individual variation in dosage sensitivity for these medications and the negative side-effects that occur from recreational use. This episode ought to benefit anyone with ADHD, their parents, those on ADHD medications or anyone curious about how these medications work. #HubermanLab Thank you to our sponsors AG1: https://athleticgreens.com/huberman Maui Nui Venison: https://mauinuivenison.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com/huberman HVMN: https://hvmn.com/huberman InsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman Momentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman The Brain Body Contract https://hubermanlab.com/tour Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-huberman Website: https://hubermanlab.com Newsletter: https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network Articles Cardiovascular Effects of ADHD Therapies: JACC Review Topic of the Week: https://bit.ly/3MDbiri Brain alterations in children/adolescents with ADHD revisited: A neuroimaging meta-analysis of 96 structural and functional studies: https://bit.ly/3WDs0ve Impulsivity, Compulsivity, and Top-Down Cognitive Control: https://bit.ly/3MM3uUq Dopaminergic System Dysfunction in Recreational Dexamphetamine Users: https://go.nature.com/3WDM9Bk Modafinil enhances alerting-related brain activity in attention networks: https://bit.ly/3WLwobF Association of Intrinsic Brain Architecture With Changes in Attentional and Mood Symptoms During Development: https://bit.ly/3qhaaCl Cognitive enhancement effects of stimulants: a randomized controlled trial testing methylphenidate, modafinil, and caffeine: https://bit.ly/4270EPr Psychostimulants and Cognition: A Continuum of Behavioral and Cognitive Activation: https://bit.ly/3MHqAv6 Neural Correlates of Symptom Improvement Following Stimulant Treatment in Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: https://bit.ly/3ILu2DI Long-term effects of stimulant exposure on cerebral blood flow response to methylphenidate and behavior in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: https://bit.ly/45CQpFu Molecular Characterisation of the Mechanism of Action of Stimulant Drugs Lisdexamfetamine and Methylphenidate on ADHD Neurobiology: A Review: https://bit.ly/45Bsl5J Pharmacologic treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults: A systematic review and network meta-analysis: https://bit.ly/3J8rEaH Books Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology (4th Edition): https://a.co/d/fJZekoD Other Resources Controlling Your Dopamine For Motivation, Focus & Satisfaction: https://youtu.be/QmOF0crdyRU Leverage Dopamine to Overcome Procrastination & Optimize Effort: https://youtu.be/K-TW2Chpz4k ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus: https://youtu.be/hFL6qRIJZ_Y Timestamps 00:00:00 Stimulants & Attention-Deficient/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 00:03:21 Sponsors: Maui Nui, ROKA, HVMN 00:06:35 The Brain-Body Contract 00:07:22 Attention, Prefrontal Cortex & ADHD 00:16:27 Stimulants “Sympathomimetics” 00:21:29 Adderall, Dopamine & Norepinephrine 00:25:58 Sympathomimetics, Dopamine & Norepinephrine 00:31:05 Sponsor: AG1 00:32:20 Vyvanse is Timed-Release D-Amp 00:36:36 Ritalin, Concerta 00:40:10 Dopamine & “Noise Reduction”; Norepinephrine & “Signal Amplification” 00:45:28 ADHD: Focus, Hyperactivity & Impulsivity; Drug Selection & Dose 00:50:57 How do Stimulants ‘Calm’ ADHD? 00:54:48 Neuroplasticity & Neuromodulators 00:58:06 Kids, ADHD Diagnosis & Treatment; Predispose Addiction? 01:04:02 Sponsor: InsideTracker 01:05:12 ADHD Medications: Individuality, Doses, Tapering & Long-Term Use 01:13:28 Medication & Long-Term Effects: Height, Cardiovascular Risk, Alcohol 01:19:32 Cortisol & Hormones 01:27:45 Psychosis & Addiction; Methamphetamine 01:38:20 Recreational Use, Addiction & Psychosis; Habituation 01:42:30 Drug Holidays; Ritalin & Long-Term Effects 01:45:35 Modafinil, Armodafinil; Side-Effects 01:53:03 Guanfacine, Alcohol 01:58:03 ADHD Medications 02:00:26 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Disclaimer: https://hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Adam Grant, Ph.D., a professor of organizational psychology at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an expert in the science and practical steps for increasing motivation, maximizing and reaching our potential, and understanding how individuals and groups can best flourish. He is also an avid public educator, having written five bestselling books, delivered several top-ranking TED Talks and is the host of two psychology podcasts. We discuss how to overcome procrastination, how to increase intrinsic motivation (even for dreaded tasks), identify blind spots and rethink our assumptions, and how we can build a persistent growth mindset. We also explain tools to improve creativity and discuss the surprising relationship between creativity and procrastination. We then explore how to effectively solicit useful feedback and grow from constructive criticism and how you can improve your level of focus and attention using science-supported methods. We also discuss mental tools to get out of negative thought spirals, how to nurture potential in yourself or others, and the dark side of perfectionism. The discussion delivers more than a dozen science-supported protocols that are readily applicable to anyone seeking to live a more productive, fulfilling, and creative life.

In this episode, I describe how your brain and body are fundamentally wired to perceive and respond to music and how those responses can be leveraged to improve your mood, allow for processing sad emotions and enhance learning and performance. I explain the data showing how music can increase motivation for cognitive or physical work, what specific music has been shown to enhance cognitive performance, and whether silence or music is more effective in enhancing focus while studying. I also discuss how specific musical pieces can rapidly reduce anxiety, as well as certain prescription medications. I explain how listening to certain types of music can improve various health metrics (e.g., heart rate). Finally, I discuss how music helps to enhance neuroplasticity (rewiring of brain connections), thereby improving learning and memory. Whether you sing, play an instrument or enjoy listening to music, this episode provides numerous science-informed tools for using music to enhance productivity, mood, emotional states, and overall enjoyment of life. #HubermanLab #Science #Music Thank you to our sponsors AG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com/huberman InsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman Momentous: https://livemomentous.com/huberman The Brain Body Contract Tickets: https://hubermanlab.com/tour Code: "Huberman" Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: https://www.threads.net/@hubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-huberman Website: https://hubermanlab.com Newsletter: https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network Articles Effects of music on the cardiovascular system: https://bit.ly/3Rqkmnn Music versus midazolam during preoperative nerve block placements: a prospective randomized controlled study: https://bit.ly/3RqB5a5 40-Hz Binaural beats enhance training to mitigate the attentional blink: https://go.nature.com/3LmXWQk Other Resources How to Increase Motivation & Drive (Huberman Lab episode): https://hubermanlab.com/how-to-increase-motivation-and-drive Controlling Your Dopamine For Motivation, Focus & Satisfaction (Huberman Lab episode): https://hubermanlab.com/controlling-your-dopamine-for-motivation-focus-and-satisfaction Tools to Manage Dopamine and Improve Motivation & Drive (Huberman Lab episode): https://hubermanlab.com/tools-to-manage-dopamine-and-improve-motivation-and-drive/ Brainwaves (App Store): https://apple.co/3ZBK36N Brainwaves (Google Play): https://bit.ly/3enO8HP Dr. Eddie Chang: The Science of Learning & Speaking Language (Huberman Lab episode) https://hubermanlab.com/dr-eddie-chang-the-science-of-learning-and-speaking-languages Dr. Erich Jarvis: The Neuroscience of Speech, Language & Music (Huberman Lab episode): https://hubermanlab.com/dr-erich-jarvis-the-neuroscience-of-speech-language-and-music Physiological Sigh: https://youtu.be/afAZ1hlvRjI Marconi Union – Weightless: https://youtu.be/qYnA9wWFHLI Timestamps 00:00:00 Music & Your Brain 00:03:32 The Brain Body Contract 00:04:12 Sponsors: Eight Sleep & ROKA 00:07:09 Music & Emotions; Brain & Body Interpretation 00:13:03 Music & Intent; Babies, Music & Movement 00:19:19 Tool: Health Metrics & Music, Breathing & Heart Rate 00:29:54 Sponsor: AG1 00:30:50 Music, Brain & Predictions 00:38:07 Music & Brain: Novelty, Arousal, Memories 00:44:22 Tool: Movement; Motivation & Faster Music 00:50:49 Tool: Cognitive Work & Binaural Beats 00:54:11 Silence or Music for Studying?, White Noise, Binaural Beats 00:58:47 Tool: Retain Information & Internal Dialogue 01:00:53 Tool: Focus, Work Breaks & Music 01:04:11 Physical Exercise, Performance & Music 01:07:37 Sponsor: InsideTracker 01:08:43 Music & Shifting Mood 01:14:41 “Happy” vs. “Sad” Music, “One-Hit Wonders” & Artificial Intelligence 01:19:30 “Bass Face”; Music, Movement & Facial Expressions 01:22:46 Tools: Shift to Happy Mood with Music; Sad Mood Catharsis 01:27:30 Tool: Music & Reducing Anxiety, “Weightless” 01:31:16 Playing Instruments, Singing & Brain Connectivity 01:39:58 Music & the Brain 01:42:14 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac - https://www.blabacphoto.com Disclaimer: https://hubermanlab.com/disclaimer

In this episode, I discuss how our brain and body track time and the role that neurochemicals, in particular dopamine and serotonin, but also hormones such as melatonin, allow us to orient ourselves in time. I review the three types of time perception: of the past, of the present, and the future, and how dopamine and serotonin adjust both our perception of the speed of the passage of time and our memory of how long previous experiences lasted. I also discuss circannual entrainment, which is the process by which our brain and body are matched to the seasons, and circadian (24 hours) entrainment, both of which subconsciously adjust our perceived measurement of time. I explain the mechanisms of that subconscious control. And I cover the ultradian (90 minutes) rhythms that govern our ability to focus, including how to track when these 90-minute rhythms begin and end for the sake of work and productivity. I include ten tools based on the science of time perception that you can apply to enhance productivity, creativity, and relationships in various contexts.

This episode serves as a sort of “Dopamine Masterclass”. I discuss the immensely powerful chemical that we all make in our brain and body: dopamine. I describe what it does and the neural circuits involved. I explain dopamine peaks and baselines, and the cell biology of dopamine depletion. I include 14 tools for how to control your dopamine release for sake of motivation, focus, avoiding and combating addiction and depression, and I explain why dopamine stacking with chemicals and behaviors inevitably leads to states of underwhelm and poor performance. I explain how to achieve sustained increases in baseline dopamine, compounds that injure and protect dopamine neurons including caffeine from specific sources. I describe non-prescription supplements for increasing dopamine—both their benefits and risks—and synergy of pro-dopamine supplements with those that increase acetylcholine. #HubermanLab #Dopamine #Motivation Thank you to our sponsors: ROKA - https://www.roka.com/huberman InsideTracker - https://www.insidetracker.com/huberman Headspace - https://www.headspace.com/specialoffer Logitech Event - Rethink Education: The Biology of Learning https://info.logitech.com/ReThink-Education.html Support Research in Huberman Lab at Stanford: https://hubermanlab.stanford.edu/giving Supplements from Thorne: http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman Social: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Twitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab Website - https://hubermanlab.com Newsletter - https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network Links: Review on Dopamine: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41583-021-00455-7 Cold Exposure & Dopamine: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs004210050065 Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction & Tool 1 to Induce Lasting Dopamine 00:04:48 Sponsors: Roka, InsideTracker, Headspace 00:09:10 Upcoming (Zero-Cost) Neuroplasticity Seminar for Educators 00:09:58 What Dopamine (Really) Does 00:15:30 Two Main Neural Circuits for Dopamine 00:18:14 How Dopamine Is Released: Locally and Broadly 00:22:03 Fast and Slow Effects of Dopamine 00:25:03 Dopamine Neurons Co-Release Glutamate 00:28:00 Your Dopamine History Really Matters 00:30:30 Parkinson’s & Drugs That Kill Dopamine Neurons.

How was it as a child to be a performer and how did that detract from your academia? 28:15 Many viewers of the podcast will of course recognise you from Eastenders as the iconic character Tiffany. 30:34 What is the pressure like being in the UKs most watched Soap Opera for such a long run? 34:00 It’s quite rare for an actor to be broadcast so consistently to a whole nation and be known so well for that role and it must be very surreal, how did your RSD deal with this particular strain of fame and interactions with the public & press? 37:31 Do you find yourself having been drawn to other neurodivergent minds either personally or professionally?  43:16 Does ADHD affect your ability to learn acting lines 44:46 A huge thing we speak about often on the podcast is imposter syndrome. Have you ever experienced this and did you experience this leaping from a Soap Opera into a Hollywood movie? 49:53 Now you've been diagnosed with ADHD, if you could sit down and have a word with a younger version of Martine just at the moment she's been told she'll be on the country's most beloved Soap Opera, what would you say to her?   56:41 A message from our sponsor: Stasis 58:09 Have you grown to love yourself, feel comfortable in your own skin and everything that entails and did that journey start pre-diagnosis? Or with the diagnosis? 01:05:44 How does your anxiety manifest itself and has this been a struggle in your past? 01:14:27 Reflecting on My Fair Lady 01:20:31 ADHD item explanation 01:22:02 The Washing Machine of Woes 01:24:16 You’ve been away from the public eye for a while, has that been good for you? 01:27:56 In hindsight, do a lot of your behaviours make sense to you now that you have an ADHD diagnosis and if so, which ones?  01:29:50 How would your children describe your ADHD and various neurodivergent eccentricities? 01:31:37 Why was it important to come on here and discuss it today? 01:33:49 If you could sit down and have one conversation with one person from your past, with the fresh perspective of being diagnosed with ADHD, who would it be with and why? 01:38:34 Letter from previous guest (rules to live by) 01:40:00 Behind the scenes clip & signing the ‘out of the box’ canvas Get started with Tiimo for free on mobile or web by following this link: https://tiimo.onelink.me/w6CP/AlexPartridge Do you want to feel the benefits of Stasis?

Do you often forget things or lose track of time? Do you find it hard to stay focused on everyday tasks? Today, Jay reunites with the ever-popular Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneering psychiatrist and clinical neuroscientist, to unravel one of the most misunderstood mental health topics today: ADHD. With society bombarded by endless distractions, overstimulation, and information overload, many are left questioning whether they truly have ADHD or are simply overwhelmed by the modern world. Dr. Amen cuts through the confusion by drawing from over three decades of clinical experience and brain imaging research. He clarifies that real ADHD is not a trend or a convenient label—it’s a genetic, neurological condition that can be identified through consistent behavioral patterns and even brain scans. What makes this conversation especially transformative is its focus on practical solutions and healing. Rather than defaulting to medication, Dr. Amen emphasizes a whole-brain, whole-body approach—starting with sleep, nutrition, and screen time. He cites compelling evidence showing how dietary changes and digital detoxes can significantly reduce symptoms in children. Jay and Dr. Amen also explore the emotional toll of untreated ADHD, including its links to addiction, depression, academic failure, and fractured relationships. Together, they challenge the stigma, revealing that ADHD is often both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed, particularly in women and individuals without hyperactivity. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Naturally Improve Focus Without Medication How to Use Diet to Reduce ADHD Symptoms How to Identify the 7 Types of ADHD How to Reframe Negative Thoughts with Brain Training How to Create a Brain-Healthy Morning Routine How to Navigate ADHD in Romantic Relationships How to Advocate for ADHD Support in Schools and Work Your brain is not broken. By learning more about how your mind works, making intentional lifestyle shifts, and seeking the right tools, you can begin to show up in life with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.

Being low on resilience every time you come against an obstacle or challenge, dealing with high levels of anxiety, and never having enough energy to really execute the way you want to are holding you back. Before your frustration takes you to the next level, let’s consider poor brain health may be the thing holding you back. You have to optimize your health to be successful, and your brain health is a must. Dr. Daniel Amen, clinical psychiatrist of the Amen Clinic reveals 7 steps to boost your brain health so you can build a brain that lowers the risk of a poor quality of life, and increases your brain function so you can reach the levels of success and financial rewards you’re looking for. One of the key takeaways is understanding that feeling down, depleted, moody, and over anxious are not just mental health issues, they are brain health concerns you can address and do something about, starting right now.

Brain Summit Webinar with Dr. Daniel Amen Location: Bellevue, WA (May 15th, 2014) Unlike traditional psychiatry, which rarely looks at the brain, Amen Clinics uses brain imaging technology to identify your specific type of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) – also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by pervasive problems with attention, and in many cases, impulsive and hyperactive behavior as well. These often lead to a range of behavior issues, causing significant challenges in school and at work, and interfering with social development and peer interactions. ADD/ADHD is a national health crisis that continues to grow—yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illnesses today.

ADHD Love – Roxanne Emery & Richard Pink share candid, funny, and heartfelt stories about ADHD in relationships, parenting, and daily life—blending vulnerability, humor, and insight to inspire compassion and understanding.

@ADHD_love
What even is normal? In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Rox and Rich dive into the absurd, confusing, and often unspoken rules of neurotypical behaviour. They unpack why some people relax by drinking in loud bars, the strange obsession with small talk, and the exhausting pressure to follow a rigid life roadmap. Rich questions the morality assigned to messiness, and Rox explains why “fitting in” always came at the cost of authenticity. They break down social hierarchies, unspoken rules, and why direct communication often feels like rebellion. If you’ve ever felt like you missed the memo on how to be “normal,” this episode will make you feel seen — and probably make you laugh. 20% Loop EarPlugs: https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox dive into the messy reality of addiction—far beyond the stereotypes of vodka bottles and rock bottoms. From alcohol and gambling to phone scrolling, comfort eating, and chasing validation, we explore the many ways addiction hides in plain sight. We talk openly about our own experiences with compulsive behaviors, the childhood trauma that fed them, and the shame that kept them alive. We unpack why it’s so hard to stop: the relief it brings, the shame it creates, and the terrifying thought of life without it. We also share what actually helped us heal. From the moment we admitted there was a problem, to the small, brave steps that pulled us out of the cycle—one day at a time. This episode isn’t just about sobriety; it’s about self-understanding, compassion, and change. If you’ve ever wondered, why can’t I stop doing this thing I hate?—this one’s for you.

Why does everything feel so hard? In this painfully honest episode, Rox and Rich unpack the everyday struggles of “being a grown-up” with ADHD—from brushing your teeth to answering emails to keeping your house from turning into chaos. They talk about the crushing shame of falling behind on life admin, the emotional toll of forgetting simple things, and the silent pressure of pretending you’ve got it all together. Rox shares what it’s like to feel like a bad adult almost every day, and Rich opens up about how he’s learned to support her without judgment. Together, they explore what’s really behind the meltdown over laundry, the panic over unopened letters, and the guilt that follows every unfinished task. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by the basics. You’re not lazy, you’re not alone—and there is a way through. Let this be your permission slip to drop the shame and find your own version of functioning.

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rox and Rich dive into the real work of building healthy, long-lasting love — the kind nobody taught us how to do. Whether you're anxiously attached, avoidant, or just exhausted from repeating the same patterns, this episode breaks down the 5 essential rules that transformed their relationship (and could transform yours too). You'll learn: Don’t use extreme communication — how silent treatment or shouting damages safety. Respect your partner’s nervous system — why their reactions aren’t always about you. Remember your childhoods — how the past shows up in your present. Stay connected — why little moments of intimacy matter. Celebrate the ordinary — because healthy love is built in the boring bits. This is your no-BS guide to unlearning toxic patterns, healing your attachment style, and finding love that actually lasts.

Arguments don’t have to mean the end. In this raw and relatable episode, Rox and Rich unpack the hidden rules of conflict—especially in neurodivergent relationships where communication styles, emotional regulation, and processing speeds can clash hard. From shutdowns and shouting matches to storming off and saying the wrong thing, they explore how fights happen, why they escalate, and what they’ve learned about surviving them. Rox opens up about her explosive ADHD fight style and the fear that every argument means it’s over. Rich shares his autistic tendency to shut down or withdraw—and how misunderstood that can feel. Together, they reflect on the patterns that nearly broke them, and the tools that helped them break the cycle instead. This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re fighting on loop, stuck in a relationship that’s full of love but littered with landmines. Whether you're the one who yells or the one who hides, FIGHT CLUB will help you feel less alone—and give you hope that repair is possible when you finally learn the rules.

Ever felt like you’re running behind in life—while everyone else is ticking boxes, buying homes, and smashing careers? In this brutally honest episode, Rox and Rich unpack what it really means to be a “late bloomer.” From chaotic finances to relationship disasters and career false starts, they explore the deep shame that can come with feeling like you're years behind your peers—and how ADHD, trauma, and a lack of support often fuel that spiral. Rox opens up about hitting rock bottom in all three areas—money, love, and work—by her mid-thirties. She shares the terrifying debt, the hyperfocus heartbreaks, and the endless job hopping that left her feeling broken and hopeless. But through small steps, vulnerability, and a hell of a lot of therapy, she began to rebuild—and Rich, the bank manager she accidentally fell in love with, helped her see that being “late” doesn’t mean you’re lost. Whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, or fifties, this episode is a love letter to anyone who feels behind. It’s not too late to start again. It’s not too late to change your story. And it’s definitely not too late to create a life that finally fits. This one’s for the screwups, the slow starters, and the quietly resilient. You’re right on time.

Self-care is everywhere. From matcha lattes and five-step skincare routines to cold plunges and pastel journals, the internet is overflowing with advice on how to look after yourself. But here’s the problem…most of it doesn’t work for people like us. In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rox and Rich pull the curtain back on the performance of self-care and ask the big question: what does it actually look like when you're neurodivergent, overwhelmed, and barely keeping up with life? We talk honestly about our own struggles — including Rich’s emotional pizza binges and Rox’s battle with cleaning her teeth — and unpack why so many self-care trends set us up to fail. We explore how “care” became something we perform for the internet, why aesthetics can be damaging, and how toxic productivity has snuck into even our bubble baths. This is not an episode about doing more. It’s about doing less — with kindness. It's about brushing your teeth, sending the email, and drinking some bloody water. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at self-care, we want you to know: you’re not alone, and there is a better way.
