About this episode

Jorie and Gigi discuss the impact of ADHD on friendships and communication.

In the inaugural episode of The Panel of Two, Jorie and her dear friend Gigi Verrey sit down for a candid, hilarious, and heartfelt conversation about how ADHD shows up in relationships. From zoning out mid-conversation and accidentally hijacking someone’s story to the late-night shame spiral of “Did I just do that?”, Jorie and Gigi compare notes on how their very different ADHD brains handle friendships, communication, and connection. They dig into anecdotal communication (and why it’s considered a no-no), the out-of-sight-out-of-mind struggle with staying in touch, RSD, self-trust, intuition, and the difference between fitting in and belonging. Plus, Gigi shares a tip for friends of people with ADHD that involves all caps and a very specific word. 👉🏻 Connect with Gigi Verrey Follow Gigi on Instagram: @verysmartideas Learn more about her advocacy and creative work: Very Smart Ideas ✅ Rate & Review: If this episode resonated, please leave a review to help other women find the show. https://ratethispodcast.com/adhdand ✅ Subscribe to my newsletter on Substack ( https://joriehoulihan.substack.com ) for weekly resources, insights, and practical tools for women with ADHD Connect…
