A Solo Person's Guide to ADHD
A Solo Person’s Guide to ADHD is a podcast for adults with ADHD who are doing life without a built-in support system — no partner, no shared mental load, no automatic second brain.
If you’re single, living alone, or functionally solo, ADHD hits differently.
There’s no one reminding you to grab the thing, finish the form, or notice when you’re overwhelmed. Executive dysfunction doesn’t show up as chaos — it shows up as quiet overload, decision paralysis, and the constant feeling that something is wrong, even when you can’t explain what.
This podcast isn’t about productivity hacks, motivation, or “finally getting your life together.”
It’s about understanding what’s actually happening — where ADHD, solo living, and modern life collide — and learning how to build external support, structure, and safety on purpose.
Hosted by Christine Dunning, a master certified life coach, musician, and late-diagnosed adult with ADHD, each episode offers reflection, language, and practical reframes to help you:
- stop blaming yourself for systems that were never designed for solo brains
- identify problems earlier, before burnout sets in
- build structures that work with ADHD instead of against it
You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re doing too much alone — and this podcast exists to name that, clearly and honestly.

ADHD Impulse Spending: "Oops, I Bought a Kayak!"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever opened a package and thought, “Wait… when did I order this?” If so, you’re in the right place.
In this episode of A Solo Person’s Guide to ADHD, I’m talking all things impulse spending:
- Why ADHD brains are wired for “add to cart”
- How solo living makes it easier (no one there to say, “Another planner? Really?”)
- The most common ADHD impulse buys—Amazon rabbit holes, subscription creep, and emotional spending
- Simple hacks to pause before your wallet taps out
You’ll also hear some personal stories (like my three-microphone saga), plus strategies to get that dopamine hit without draining your bank account.
💡 Quick stats you’ll learn today:
- 58% of adults with ADHD say impulse spending makes money harder
- The average ADHD brain loses about $2,000 a year to impulse buys
- Compulsive buying hits up to 21% of ADHD adults (vs. 6% in the general population)
👉 Next up: Episode 11 on tackling debt (because sometimes our impulse buys live on our credit cards long after delivery day).
✨ Share your funniest impulse buy with me—I’d love to hear it!
