In this week’s Do Better. Be Better. post, I share what it was like being diagnosed with ADHD and OCD in my 60s — and how I stopped fighting my mind and started building systems that actually work with it.

When ADHD and romance collide, connection moves at light speed. You talk fast, feel deeply, and second-guess every heartbeat at 3 a.m. — usually while reorganizing your sock drawer. This week on Do Better. Be Better., The Cynical Romantic dives into the exhilarating, exhausting ways ADHD shapes how we love, listen, and (occasionally) interrupt mid-sentence. From dopamine-driven attraction to sensory overload at dinner, we unpack why relationships can feel like both fireworks and feedback loops. With humor, empathy, and research from CHADD, the Cleveland Clinic, and ADDitude Magazine, we explore how to turn emotional hyperfocus into mindful connection. Because love isn’t about perfect timing — it’s about pausing, breathing, and daring to be fully present… even if your brain’s already two chapters ahead.
