Description

Welcome to A Solo Person’s Guide to ADHD, hosted by Christine Dunning, Master Certified Life Coach and founder of Two Cats Coaching.

Have you ever burst into tears during a random commercial—or found yourself deeply affected by a movie that wasn’t even sad? You’re not alone. This episode kicks off a five-part series exploring ADHD and grief—why it hits differently, how it shows up unexpectedly, and what it means for those of us who live solo.

Christine is joined by her longtime friend  Rev. Stacy Collins, MDiv, a hospice chaplain and fellow late-diagnosed ADHDer, to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of loss—whether it’s a person, a pet, a dream, or even a sense of safety.

Together, they explore:

💬 “If you don’t process the grief, it’s going to process you.” — Christine

🕯️ “I give myself and others permission to grieve at their own pace.” — Lee Horbaczewski
