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.

Reflections: An ADHD Way to Close the Year
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As the year winds down, many of us feel pressure to “figure it all out” before January arrives. For solo adults with ADHD, that pressure often turns into shame, burnout, and yet another attempt to completely reboot life.
This episode offers something different.
Christine guides you through a gentle, ADHD-friendly way to reflect on the year—without beating yourself up. You’ll learn how to notice what actually worked, what collapsed under stress, and where your life needs more support (not more willpower).
This is a calm, grounding episode designed to help you close the year with clarity—and step into January without panic.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why traditional year-end reflection often backfires for ADHD brains
- The “reboot cycle” and why it’s especially common for solo adults
- A simple 3-question ADHD year review to gather insight without shame
- How to sort what you learned into keep, reinforce, and release
- Why constant restarts are clues—not failures
- How personal “self-isms” can act as anchors when things wobble
- A new way to think about January that doesn’t involve transformation or hustle
This episode is for you if:
- You feel behind heading into the new year
- You’re tired of resolutions that don’t stick
- You live alone and carry all the responsibility yourself
- You want support systems—not another fresh start
✨ January is about building support, not trying harder.
