Dating with ADHD can bring its own set of challenges, but it also offers unique strengths.

In this week’s episode, I speak with licensed marriage and family therapist Moe Arie Brown, Hinge's love and connection expert, to unpack the intersection of ADHD and modern dating. Moe also serves as a diversity & equity consultant and on the board of directors for It Gets Better Project, a non-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting and connecting LGBTQIA+ youth around the globe.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ Why dating apps can feel overwhelming for individuals with ADHD.

✨ Practical strategies for communicating more effectively and reducing dating anxiety.

✨ How to embrace your ADHD traits as strengths while understanding the impact of RSD on building meaningful connections.

✨ How an all-or-nothing mindset can lead to intense emotions followed by boredom and how to navigate these feelings effectively.

✨ Insights from Hinge's Love and ADHD Date Report on neurodivergent dating experiences.

✨ The importance of self-awareness, boundary-setting, and authenticity in dating.

If you’ve ever felt drained by small talk or struggled with the fast-paced nature of online dating, this episode is packed with practical tips and advice. Learn how understanding your ADHD can help you navigate the dating world with confidence and compassion, leading to deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships.

My key takeaway was that with our ADHD awareness, communicating our needs clearly can significantly enhance our dating and relationship experiences.

This week, I dive into the fascinating link between ADHD and sleep with science journalist Lynne Peeples, author of The Inner Clock. Together, we explore how ADHD affects circadian rhythms, why so many with ADHD identify as night owls, and how societal expectations around sleep cycles often clash with ADHD traits.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ Why 78% of individuals with ADHD identify as night owls and how genetics play a role.

✨ How modern lifestyle factors like artificial light and irregular meal times disrupt sleep.

✨ Practical small adjustments to your routine—like reducing evening light and keeping consistent meal times—can improve sleep hygiene.

✨ Understanding your natural sleep patterns is key to better managing ADHD symptoms.

✨ The unique sleep challenges faced by women with ADHD, especially during hormonal changes.

During this conversation, we explore practical strategies to improve sleep quality, such as adjusting meal times and optimising light exposure throughout the day. The episode also highlights the importance of understanding our unique sleep patterns and the impact of hormonal changes, especially in women, as they navigate their own wellness journeys.
