If your relationship has taken a hit from ADHD, this one honestly helped me feel less alone.

What got Us finally talking again

I didn’t realize how much ADHD was messing with our communication until things started spiraling. This audiobook hit home in a way couples therapy hadn’t. It gave me real things to try no fluff, just stuff that actually helped calm the tension and reconnect. I started listening solo, then convinced my partner to try it too. We’re not perfect, but now we fight less and talk more. That alone made it worth it.
