About this listen

Living with ADHD isn’t a quirk, it’s a full-time experience. Hosted by John Hookway, ADHD Unfiltered is a real, raw, and often hilarious dive into the daily chaos of life with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Whether you’ve been officially diagnosed, suspect you might be neurodivergent, or love someone who is, this show gives you the unfiltered truth, minus the clinical jargon.

Each week, John breaks down everything from productivity struggles and hyperfixation to relationships, parenting, burnout, and impulsive Amazon purchases (you know the ones). Expect stories, expert interviews, and the kind of honest talk you wish you'd heard sooner.

Because ADHD isn’t just about focus—it’s about how we live, love, work, and try not to lose our keys every. single. day.

    What Is ADHD Paralysis and How Does It Affect Daily Life
    Jul 20 2025
    The podcast offers a comprehensive overview of ADHD paralysis, a neurological phenomenon where individuals struggle to initiate or complete tasks despite the desire to do so. It clarifies that this "freeze mode" is not laziness but stems from executive dysfunction and emotional triggers like overwhelm and perfectionism. The text outlines three types: mental paralysis (too many thoughts), choice paralysis (too many options), and task paralysis (difficulty taking action), detailing their impact on home, work, relationships, and mental health. Finally, it suggests practical management strategies such as breaking down tasks, using reminders, optimizing one's environment, fostering a positive mindset, and seeking support from others, including professional help.
