In this episode of Off My Meds, I sit down with rapper and lyricist Jarv for what basically turns into Rap 101.

We talk about the art of lyricism, how intention and word choice shape a song, and what separates writing bars from actually saying something. Jarv breaks down his creative process, how he thinks about storytelling in rap, and what it means to be a true student of the craft.

We also get into neurodivergence, creativity, and how the brain can be both the gift and the obstacle when you’re making art — especially in a genre that rewards precision, honesty, and vulnerability.

This conversation is equal parts music theory, lived experience, and real talk — whether you’re a hip-hop head, a creative, or someone navigating a neurodivergent mind. 🧠🎤💊

Listen if you’re into:
– Rap & lyricism
– Creative process deep dives
– Neurodivergence & mental health conversations
– Artists who actually think about their craft

In this solo episode, I share what it was like growing up as a child actor — from the random chaos on set to what I wish people knew about that world.
I kept it light this time, but I’m thinking about diving into the mental and physical toll side next. Should I go there?

Welcome back to Off My Meds! This is my final solo episode for Mental Health May — a little late, but in true ADHD fashion, we’re embracing the chaos.

In this episode, I’m getting real about my experience with ADHD medication:
💊 Why I started stimulants
🚫 Why I went off them
🌿 The supplements I tried instead
🔁 How I’m navigating going back on meds
And all the messy, emotional, and eye-opening lessons in between.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or rethinking your treatment plan, I hope my story can help you feel a little less alone. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and what worked for me might not work for you — but maybe it’ll give you a starting point or a new question to ask.

✨ If you’ve ever asked yourself “Do I really need meds?” or “Is there a more natural route?” — this one’s for you.

📍 NOTE: I’m not a doctor — just a girl with a mic, some strong opinions, and a lot of trial-and-error. Please talk to a licensed professional before starting or stopping any medication.

🧩 Got ADHD? Or think you might? Check out my past episodes where I dive into diagnosis, burnout, executive dysfunction, rejection sensitivity, and the everyday rollercoaster of being neurodivergent.

👇 Drop your experience in the comments. I’d love to hear how you’re navigating your own meds journey.

It's another "Off My Meds May" episode, and we're diving headfirst into time blindness—that uniquely frustrating ADHD struggle where five minutes feels like five hours… or five seconds. If you've ever missed a deadline, been late to an important event, spaced on a meeting, or wondered where your entire afternoon went, you're not alone.

I’m testing out new time management tools (spoiler: some are actually working??), talking through how ADHD warps our sense of time, and even asking ChatGPT for strategies and resources I can realistically stick to. No boring advice—just real tools for real ADHD brains.

In this captivating episode, I sit down with the insanely talented Eric Hirschhorn, saxophonist and keyboardist for the iconic reggae band Rebelution and Japanese Lunchtime Rush. We drank some different kinds of tea, and dove into everything from ADHD and jazz to anime and tea—yes, so much tea!

This group is celebrated for their unique fusion of styles, bringing a fresh and eclectic sound to the music scene. They've released several projects, including the "Kurisumasu EP" and "Live House Sessions," showcasing their versatility and innovative approach to music.

We talk about:
* Living with ADHD as a touring musician

* What it’s really like on the road with Rebelution
* That one time he played for John Mayer at 15
