    “You Are A Lot” (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast)

    This is the “You Are A Lot” (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast) and I’m your host, Jen Kirkman.

    Has anyone ever said to you, “Um, you’re kind of a lot?” If they have this podcast is your new favorite show. Welcome to You Are a Lot in ADHD, AuDHD podcast. I’m your host Jen Kirkman. On this show, I talk about my personal experience of my later in-life diagnosis as an AuDHD human. That is ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I discuss the latest research and I aim to create an affirming lesson from neurodivergent people, helping us all to feel less confused, more connected, and as a result, fully validated.

    Episode 94: Is It ADHD Or CPTSD? Why Not Both? Jul 28, 2026
    Show notes

    In This Episode: In this episode I read a listener email that sparks me to talk about the very much interwoven symptoms of CPTSD and ADHD. I talk about why you might want to do some research on CPTSD if some of the ADHD tips and tricks aren't working for you. Pete Walker is THE CPTSD expert, he's a survivor and has written an incredible book about how to get psycho-education on what it even is and how to help yourself. It can be done! Here's his website and his book. CPTSD From Surviving To Thriving: Pete Walker's website & book

    Episode 92: The 10-3 Game For ADHD Paralysis Jul 21, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode: I'm introducing you to the 10-3 Rule for productivity, which I call the 10-3 Game. It's a process of setting a timer to do short bursts of work or tasks for ten minutes and then setting the timer for a three minute rest, and doing your day or hard-to-start projects this way. I get into why the rest is the most important part and why this method is very supportive for ADHD humans. Get your Time Timer with my unique link here!

    Episode 91: Failed To Plan & Feeling Feelings Jul 21, 2026
    Show notes

    This is a super-sized 70 minute Patreon only episode but I'm giving you the first 15 minutes! In this episode: I talk about how my planned personal retreat fell apart, and what therapy helped me see underneath it was that a week of feeling overwhelmed and behind was really unfelt feelings and delayed emotional processing and disguise. I get into why emotional regulation isn't about being calm and how to build scaffolding so that you can catch the feelings before they turn into a stress monster.

    ✨Bonus Episode: Happy Reset Day - July 2nd Jul 02, 2026
    Show notes

    IN THIS EPISODE I'm talking about how today, July 2nd, is exactly the in-between point of the year. 182 days have passed with 182 to go in 2026. If you need a reset and want to change this up and start to plan time off, vacation or staycation days, I highly recommend the Big A## Calendar, either the wall calendar of the large planner. I talk about the four types of days that I take every month as well.
