What is one thing from July you are proud of that would never show up on a to-do list? I will take small. Small counts here. #thevibewithky #mentalhealth

The hardest part of a good week is trusting it. Some of us learned that momentum gets followed by a crash, so we brace all the way through the good part and miss most of it. #thevibewithky #mentalhealth

For the people who got their answer later in life: what did you assume about yourself for decades that turned out to be wiring rather than character? #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

Binge eating disorder peaks between 45 and 59, not in your twenties, and fewer than half ever seek treatment for it. Full research breakdown with every caveat: https://loom.ly/J91nQF8 #ADHD #thevibewithky

ADHD and Binge Eating: The Science | The Vibe With Ky

ADHD and binge eating overlap far more than most people are told. Here is the research on why food works when nothing else does, and what actually helps.

August 1 has a clean-slate feeling that July 31 did not, and nothing changed except the number. I used to think falling for that was silly. Now I just use it. Free momentum is still momentum. #thevibewithky #mentalhealth

I will drive two hours to stand in a line for ninety minutes and call it a great day, then avoid a nine minute phone call for a week. Interest is its own currency and mine sets its own exchange rate. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

If you cannot start, shrink the step until it feels stupid. Not clean the kitchen. Not do the dishes. Pick up one fork. For a lot of us the barrier is ignition, not effort, and a stupid-small step is a real key. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

One 2024 survey found large raw associations between adult ADHD and binge eating. Adjusted for depression and anxiety, significance disappeared. I would rather hand you that caveat than the confidence. #ADHD #ADHDAwareness #thevibewithky

Ending a month feels like a performance review written by someone who was not in the room. The list does not know what July actually held. It only knows what is unticked. #thevibewithky #mentalhealth

Five elements of intimacy. Trust, honor, allowance, vulnerability, gratitude. Simone Milasas says you have to give all five to yourself before you can hand them to anybody else. Which one is hardest to give yourself? thevibewithky.com/2026/07/27/... #Intimacy

What is a system that genuinely works for you that you would be a little embarrassed to admit works? Mine tend to be the ones that look like I am negotiating with a toddler. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

The best-supported explanation for ADHD and binge eating is not weak willpower. A 2025 review found the two things that kept surfacing were emotional dysregulation and negative affect. The road does not always run through food. #ADHD #thevibewithky

I do not forget appointments. I remember them constantly, at 2am, in the shower, in line at the store, at every moment except the one where I could act on it. Remembering and being able to use it are not the same. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

I can plan a week in nine minutes and cannot start the first item on it. For me planning is the dopamine and doing is the admin. Nobody warns you that the fun part and the useful part run on different systems. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

Adults with ADHD have roughly four times the odds of binge eating disorder. Correlation, not cause, and it has sat in the research since 2016 while a lot of us were told to show more self-control. #ADHD #ADHDAwareness #thevibewithky

Simone Milasas said when she needs an hour to herself, it is not against her partner. It is for her. I am a recovering people pleaser, so I have spent years assuming that taking something for myself means somebody else pays. Not against him. For her. #Relationships #Intimacy

He asked if she was angry. He had been surfing three hours. He only asked because the woman before her yelled every time. Simone Milasas said why would I be angry, you love surfing. That is what honoring someone looks like. thevibewithky.com/2026/07/27/... #Relationships

The gap between wanting to do the thing and doing the thing is not a character gap. For a lot of us it is an ignition problem, and ignition responds to smaller, dumber first steps rather than more discipline. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

What do you apologize for that you already know you do not need to? I will go: I say sorry for taking four minutes of a call someone booked a full hour for. The apology is a reflex, not a fact. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

You spent decades without a map and without a name, and you got here anyway. That was not failure. That was survival. A diagnosis this late will not give the years back. But it changes how you hold them. It is never too late to meet yourself. Who have you been getting to know lately?

A friend texted "no rush" this week and actually meant it. I sat with how rare it felt to be handed time instead of a deadline. No rush is a love language. Say it to someone who braces for the opposite. #thevibewithky #mentalhealth

The kindest reframe this week: an ADHD brain craving stimulation in a slow world is biology, not failure. Sean McCormick and I sat with that on The Vibe With Ky Podcast 💛 What finally made your brain make sense to you? #ADHD #Neurodivergent

If you love someone with ADHD and you are not the one with it, what is the thing you had to unlearn? A lot of partners tell me it was hearing "I forgot" as "I didn't care," when it never meant that. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

Procrastination as a signal, not a flaw. When a task will not start, Sean McCormick asks who can help instead of how to push harder. He unpacks it on The Vibe With Ky Podcast. Who would you hand your most stuck task to? https://loom.ly/KPkwOKI #ADHD

Saying yes to one evening thing costs me the whole afternoon before it, spent bracing. The event is 90 minutes. The anticipation tax is four hours. Introverts, you know the exact math I mean. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

The cruelest part of a late diagnosis is realizing how long you blamed yourself for something that was never a character flaw. Restless got called nervous. Distracted got called lazy. It was neurology the whole time. The self-blame ran on missing information. What did you stop apologizing for?

The report due Friday does not exist to my brain until Friday becomes Now. That is not laziness, it is how ADHD time perception works: Now, and Not Now, with almost nothing in between. The fix is not shame. It is making the deadline feel like Now sooner. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness

Spent my whole life calling it laziness. It was executive function the entire time. Sean McCormick, this week's guest on The Vibe With Ky Podcast, explains the difference with more grace than my inner critic ever did. What did the lazy label cost you? https://loom.ly/KPkwOKI #ADHD

Learned forty pages of Sondheim cold for Sweeney Todd, forgot to eat lunch for two days doing it. Hyperfocus is not a superpower. It is a spotlight you do not get to aim. When it lands on the right thing, magic. When it doesn't, oof. #thevibewithky #theatre #adhd

Where is the gap widest for you between knowing you did something well and actually feeling it? For me the knowing lands instantly and the feeling shows up three days late, if at all. #thevibewithky #adhd #adhdawareness
