Send us Fan Mail Two years. Over 50 episodes. And a whole lot of feelings. This is our final episode of Hypercast — and true to form, neither of us came fully prepared for how messy it would feel to say goodbye. In this episode, we reflect on what this podcast has meant to us, what we've each gained from building it together, and why — even when something is the right call — transitions are just hard when you have ADHD. We also share what's coming next for both of us, and we're inviting you to follow along. This isn't really an ending. It's more of a... star wipe, cut to black. Thank you for being here. We made this for us — and we genuinely didn't expect anyone to show up. The fact that you did means everything. "À la prochaine "— until next time. ──────────────────────── 🔗 FIND US MELISSA 🌐 Website: www.likemindcoaching.com 📺 YouTube (Likemind ADHD): www.youtube.com/@LikemindADHD 📺 YouTube (Likemind Clips): www.youtube.com/@LikemindClips BRIANNA 🌐 Website: www.understandingadhd.ca 📸 Instagram: www.instagram.com/understanding.adhd/ HYPERCAST 🌐 Website: www.hypercastpod.com ──────────────────────── Don't forget to: 👍 Like this video if it resonated with you 💬 Drop a comment — we'd love to hear what Hypercast meant to you 🔔 Don't unsubscribe — we have ADHD and we're not committing to anything Melissa's Contact: Email: [email protected]  www.likemindcoaching.com Brianna's Contact: Email: [email protected] www.understandingADHD.ca Follow Us On Instagram

Send us Fan Mail Where is creativity already showing up in your life that you just haven’t labeled as creativity yet? ADHD creativity is more than art; it shows up in ideation, problem-solving, communication, and how you think differently than everyone else in the room.

If you’ve ever wondered what “you’re creative” actually means for you, this is the manual. • Why we undervalue the things that come easily to us • How to turn chaotic creativity into intentional strength • The reframe that changes how you see your brain ──────────────────────── ABOUT THE GUEST ──────────────────────── Who is Meredith Knauer Crull, MS, CACP?

Send us Fan Mail If you have ADHD or Autism and deal with chronic pain, migraines, IBS, or unexplained fatigue, your doctors may be missing a critical connection that could finally explain why nothing seems to work. For years, people with ADHD and autism have been told their chronic pain is "just normal" or "all in their head." But there's a neurological link between ADHD, autism, and conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, and IBS that most doctors aren't trained to recognize. In this episode, Dr. Michael Lenz explains why these connections are overlooked, how to advocate for proper diagnosis when your symptoms aren't being connected, and what comprehensive treatment actually looks like when both your ADHD and chronic pain are managed together. • Why stimulant medication can actually help with pain tolerance • The diagnostic gap keeping patients stuck in fragmented care • How to write your medical story so doctors finally listen • Why "normal pain" is actually zero pain ──────────────────────── WHERE TO FIND US ──────────────────────── For Melissa: 🎙 Work with Melissa: https://likemindcoaching.com/ For Brianna: 🎙 Work with Brianna: https://understandingadhd.ca/ ──────────────────────── ABOUT THE GUEST ──────────────────────── Who is Dr. Michael Lenz?
