Summary

Ever feel like you're living with someone who’s always running late, forgetting things, or totally oblivious to how much time has passed? Or maybe you're that person? In this episode, we’re breaking down time blindness—a real, brain-based struggle that affects people with ADHD, whether they’ve been diagnosed or not. Chalene opens up about what it’s like to live with ADHD as an adult and how it’s impacted her marriage, parenting, and those always-chaotic travel days. You’ll hear expert insights from Dr. Russell Barkley and personal stories from both Chalene and Bret, who also shares his hilarious (and brutally honest) rebuttal about what it’s really like to travel with someone who has time blindness. Whether you’re team “why can’t you be on time?!” or team “I swear I’m trying,” this episode is full of lightbulb moments, laughs, and a whole lot of validation.

Yo. So today we're talking about something that I think probably the majority of you are going to be on the side of probably Brett Johnson.

0:11.0

If you've ever wanted to scream at someone for being late or for being forgetful or losing things, if you're the one who's always running late and swearing that next time you're going to be on

0:21.4

time, either way, it doesn't matter what side you fall on. This one is for you. Today, I'm going to

0:26.4

break down what it's like to live with somebody who has ADHD, specifically time blindness.

0:35.3

And no, this is not just going to be me making excuses.

0:38.9

It's not about a personality quirk.

0:40.6

We're really going to talk about brain-based challenges that come with certain types of neurodivergence

0:47.4

and also how difficult it is for the parents of neurodivergent children, how difficult it is sometimes for the partners of

0:56.3

neurodivergent people and how hard it is for some of us to understand and explain and

1:03.0

just feel like you're disappointing people. We're going to talk about all of that. I'm going to

1:07.7

share my perspective, but I'm also going to give my husband the floor.

1:12.5

And as a couple weeks, well, wait. Actually, it was last week, I think, I shared with you what it

1:16.9

was like to travel with Brett. I call him Mr. Flight Day. And he thought it was pretty funny,

1:23.7

but he also thought it was inaccurate. So I'm giving him the floor to share his

1:28.1

rebuttal. And I think it's important because a lot of you are one part of this partnership.

1:36.4

Like, you're either a lot like me or a lot like Brett. And I just think it's really helpful to

1:41.3

understand each other's perspectives. You're also going to hear from Dr. Russell Barkley.

1:46.5

He is an expert in this area.

1:49.7

And I think he does a much better job than I do of explaining what's actually happening in the brain

1:56.3

in terms of blood flow in terms of the prefrontal cortex.

1:59.6

So whether you are the person who's late or the

2:01.7

person who's absolutely annoyed by people who can't show up on time, if you're the person who's
