    It’s garbage day already?
    William Curb, you have a new fan! Me :) I was listening to your 1/6/25 podcast about making one’s smart phone more friendly … when you spoke about setting a reminder to take out the garbage I jumped up laughing! Too late today but reminder and new APP Alarmed has ‘nag me’ clicked✅ Look forward to listening to all your Podcasts and sharing it with fellow ADHD’rs! It’s full of pertinent info and your voice is easy going and not on hyper speed, thank you!! Your new devotee, Cinde Lou Who

    I listen to this podcast at the beginning of every day to get in the right mindset. My favorite part about this podcast is they are short and sweet, to the point. Also, majority of tools can be implemented immediately which can be very rewarding.

    You speak my language
    I understand exactly what you are saying and it’s my style of communication. Brief intro of what to expect, then dive in and leave room for thought, explaining everything you’re talking about, reminders to be kind to myself, and concluding with bullet points and where to find notes from each show. This is a gift.

    I have my life back…
    I was diagnosed a year ago at the age of 21 with combined type ADHD. No one in my immediate family has ADHD (diagnosed at least) so this means a ton of navigating on my own. I found hacking your ADHD by randomly searching one day and I say this with confidence that I have my life back. I no longer feel alone in this and I realized that I’m not stupid or not smart as other people I just have a unique way of processing information!! This podcast has helped me SO SO much and I listen multiple times each week. After learning tips from this podcast I’m not managing my finances better, maintaining healthier relationships, and becoming an advocate for my ADHD and fighting against my own stereotypes and negative self talk. THANK YOU!!!

    TY!! The best of the BENEFICIAL BEST!
    Out of all the many podcasts regarding ADHD with ADULTS, (not only those diagnosed later in life, unlike myself at age 14-16), yours has been honestly life changing. LIFE CHANGING. I appreciate you and all the guests you carefully select. You hear this often..I am sure about that. However please hear it again. Continue all you do. No need to further too much to spread yourself either. Bc this right here does wonders. I thank you. Also- as you know, a lot of other variable go into selection of a chosen podcast. One being the actual host of course. Their voice humor intelligence and most importantly there ability to realistically RELATE. You often demonstrate that by your selection in episodes but more so in your ‘perfect’ responses and answers to all those you have on your episode “interviewing” in convo. That I’m so appreciative of as it’s extremely beneficial. It prevents disinterest and allows one to stay with you as your words usually are exactly what I am thinking at that moment (after a guest speaks etc.) Well hope this ramble like thanks reaches you. All my continued love!! Kimberly

    I really want to.
    I want SO BADLY to love this podcast. I’m desperately wanting to find a relevant to me ADHD podcast…but can you please talk slower? Its incredibly helpful and informative, but I can’t get past that and cannot concentrate.

    Great podcast!
    I really like this podcast! I love that they are short and sweet. They are perfect for my attention span. Great tips and advice!
  • Gus_567
    Update: thanks for recognizing and being accountable
    Update: I’m impressed that you listened to feedback and immediately changed course, thank you. Great but you really lost me on this last episode where the guest compares inflation in the gut to undocumented immigrants. Maybe try to get guests who don’t have the bottomline of selling a product or idea to our community.

    Favorite Podcast!
    This is my all time favorite podcast. I recently discovered I have ADHD and prior to my diagnoses I found this podcast to be incredibly cathartic! Especially the creativity episode with Saman Kesh! I love that these shows are relatively short too and that William summarizes the learnings at the end. He really understands his audience ;) I get a kick out of the dad joke too. I’m still a hot mess express but I’m slowly figuring it all out thanks to people like William!
  • yogawithmaryt
    Invaluable
    This podcast was means so much to my life as an overwhelmed adhd mother. I get so much value from each episode.
  • stealth Greek
    Thanks for being my oasis
    My ADHD only came to light in my mid-fifties. I felt such relief finding a community that gets my weird. This podcast has been incredibly helpful in learning to function the way MY brain wants, instead of failing repeatedly to function the way our larger society expects. Thanks for the life lessons
  • Hdela
    Really appreciate this show
    After getting suspicious that I might have ADHD as an adult, I started looking for podcasts that might help me cope with this news. I’ve really appreciated how relatable the host is and the folks he interviews. So many times I have caught myself nodding my head up and down and just mouth wide open in utter shock that the way I think and behave isn’t unique to me, and it has made me feel less alone and more confident that there is hope for me. it has also given me more confidence to pursue a treatment plan. (My one teeny tiny gentle criticism—and I include this more as a kind of joke—is that with some sensory issues I have, the intro music is not for me! I have to turn it down or skip through it 🤓.

    So very thankful for this Podcast on Sleep. I have terrible issues with Sleep and I really never knew it was attributed to my ADHD. Thank you for clearing that up and all your valuable information. I would love to sign up for your newsletter. I think you have a wonderful show thank you thank you thank you I’m on the road to a better night sleep thanks to you. Sleepy Marie.

  • lafmoreworryless
    This podcast has helped my relationships
    I love this podcast! He does such a great job of balancing education, validating those with adhd, and offering support in a way that actually help adhd-ers make life improvements. My mom (who doesn’t have adhd) has always had a hard time understanding why I am the way I am. I shared this podcast with my mom and now she listens. We have finally gotten to a place where she gets it, and stops asking me why I “don’t just do things” and offers me support in getting my things done. I am so grateful!
  • Kaylie Horsley
    Easy to get lost in
    I found this show and was instantly hooked and telling everyone about it. I love that the episodes are short and sweet, filled with resource after resource. It’s given me acceptance of being out of the box and the curiosity to learn more!
  • Climb1234
    Keeps me coming back
    In true ADHD form, I’ve gone through phases of listening to a lot of different podcasts about ADHD. I tend to find a few episodes that are of interest and then find then find episodes to be repetitive. This podcasts keeps me coming back over and over. I like the wide range of topics and presenters and the length is just right for me. I’d definitely recommend
  • RistaYeh
    ADHD predominantly Hyperactive/ impulsive
    I love your show and the formatting including the shorter segments and main take aways. I am wondering if you could speak more on ADHD hyperactive/ impulsivity type in women. I have found little content on this and would find it helpful. I am a late diagnosed woman with all the criteria for ADHD hyperactive/impulsivity type and only two from the inattentive type. This appears to be really rare in the ADHD community and I would love to hear more about it. Thank you for your show!
  • Drf555
    I love everything about this show
    The host is funny and charming, the information is very easy to digest!! To say the advice is helpful is an understatement, I’m so grateful for this podcast and the shifts I’ve seen already in my thinking and habits.
  • AmSiegel223
    Love it!
    William is an excellent host, and you can tell he feels so strongly about understanding ADHD and helping others understand it. He works so hard and gets at so many different aspects of this neurodivergence. Amazing work, keep it up!
  • IzabelG.
    Must listen
    If you have ADHD or live with someone who has, you should listen to this. I have learned so many things about myself and learned so many tricks. This made my life and myself easier and more effective.
  • Austin Buerlein
    Wow, really helpful
    I’m really glad I stumbled on this podcast. William is amazing. I seriously feel like he must have been following me around my whole life, with how much he “gets it”. His lectures are really informative, interesting, a little funny, and helpful. I highly recommend checking them out (they are also real brief and easy to get through).
  • Reese2.o
    Dear my fellow ADHDians,
    Think of it like this, some people are normal.. well.. actually…MOST people are normal in our world. But you know who isn’t normal? Every single flippin superhero. You know who else isn’t normal? Neurodivergents. Honestly, I don’t see any difference between us and superheroes. We have special abilities like leaving our keys in the refrigerator and not being able to do one thing for a really really really really long ti- WAIT HOLD ON I THINK I SEE A SQUIRREL!! What was I saying? Oh yeah… we are superheroes. Neurotypicals don’t have the ability to get distracted by that spec of dirt under their right index fingers fingernail! So yeah I’m a superhero And you are too Love, Reese
  • word coolies is amazing
    Parent with an Adult Child with ADHD
    This show is outstanding and unique. In reading many books about ADHD and listening to other podcasts, I appreciate William’s clarity and brevity. My son is reassessing how ADHD affects his life in college as a young adult and the clear examples with actionable strategies for solutions is invaluable and life changing. William has a calm supportive voice and my son and I enjoy listening to the short podcasts together then discussing how the strategies might work in his life. I mostly appreciate how William does not spend much time explaining ADHD. Most of the information available about ADHD is about how to understand ADHD not what to do about it. Having someone as a guide who successfully lives with ADHD and has strategies for dealing with the challenging effects of living without strong executive functioning skills is inspiring.
  • Mobjack11
    Very helpful!
    It is quite amazing to hear someone describe my life so specifically when he is, in fact, describing his own. I’m almost taken aback at how precisely (and I suppose predictably) all my behaviors that I struggle with are described here. It is a very strange feeling to think that all these issues are just a part of ADHD, when I had just come to accept that they were a defective aspect of myself.
  • CastAddict82
    Check this out… helpful, down to earth, easy to listen to
    This is the most helpful ADHD podcast I have found so far. William has a wonderful ability to be vulnerable and relatable while also being very good at presenting practical, tested tips for ways to work with or “hack” our ADHD. He sometimes gives personal examples, and you feel that he’s really coming from a place of living day to day and in the moment with the quirks and strengths and challenges of our neurodiverse condition. He does a very helpful review of the main points at the end of many of his episodes. Even better, he shows empathy and kindness that none of us are perfect and it’s ok to just try to do our best, and sometimes we will make mistakes. Please check it out. (The other ADHD Rewired podcasts are very good too.)
  • Idek honestly🥲
    Mo jama
    Thank you so much, the introduction music kinda makes me a bit anxious but super cool podcast
  • Manateebay99
    Super helpful!!
    This podcast is super informative and helpful!!! As someone with severe adhd I find the length to be perfect!
  • miss lake lover
    Amazing!
    I love this show! I listen to it all the time and love the fast info! Having adhd and being neurodivergent I love the quick and to the point tips and info. I am recently diagnosed and being a female who is almost 40, and a therapist, I need this. My clients who also have adhd are living this. It tickles my brain in all the right way. I struggle to listen to certain voices and don’t do well with chitter chatter that I feel is pointless. Thank you William for all you do and all you talk about especially self-disclosure!!!
  • thwkman
    Something resonated
    Great podcast. I have the infinite to do list. Your podcast is just right for my attention span. Not a lot of “ads” I’ll probably checkout Athletic Greens though😉looking forward to catching up
  • I love Boomie
    ADHD and diet episode
    I think this is a very important topic. However, the dietitian was so difficult to understand. She appeared to have vocal fry. Why she couldn’t enunciate and speak clearer I don’t know. I think you had valid questions, and I found myself turning the volume down when she spoke because it was so irritating. I think you have a great podcast, but getting it clear is really important part
  • Sharon_BD
    You resonate w me….
    ….both Topically and in brevity. My new go too.
  • Jenn M OT
    Short and sweet but so powerful!!
    I thoroughly enjoy listening to podcasts, especially those that pertain to ADHD! This one I enjoy even more because it is the perfect amount of time and gives great information in a time frame that can keep my attention span with strategies that can be implemented right away!!!
  • FearfullyKnitted
    I love this
    I shared it with all of my ADHD family members. I have not been diagnosed, but I find these helpful for myself and to understand my family, including my husband 🤍
  • aldougherty
    Love this podcast
    This is a great podcast with helpful tips and looking at things in an objective way. This makes me feel seen and I am learning so much about myself!
  • kjoholmes
    My favorite podcast
    William has so many helpful tips and covers great topics related to ADHD.
  • T. A. Fields
    Very Helpful + Easy to Binge Out!
    I like that these podcasts are quick and to the point. I am a new listener to the show and I look forward to listening to every episode from the 1st episode up to the current episode. Thanks for putting these together. Super helpful!
  • heyitsLexx87
    I highly recommend this podcast!
    As someone who has struggled with ADHD all my life (diagnosed at 7-8 yrs old) I’ve never been medicated… I’ve just taught myself over the years little hacks on how to handle it to the best of my ability. I still struggle daily to manage it. I find this podcast so helpful and I’ve learned so much already from it!
  • Baronkriel
    Life changing
    This podcast has helped me in so many ways as a person with ADHD and as a teacher of students with disorders and disabilities. Thank you so much for helping people create happiness and compassion for themselves (and by extension others).
  • Chicago ADHD
    Extremely Relatable and Executed Wonderfully to Keep Me Engaged
    I’ve listened to around 30 episodes and relate so much to the host’s experiences. Since the episodes are relatively short (less than 20 minutes), it’s easy for me to stay engaged and actually listen. There have been a few episodes that absolutely gutted me emotionally (in a good way) because for the first time, I felt validated in how I could feel like I’m trying so hard I could burn out, and others would insist I’m not trying hard enough.
  • hbrr
    Love this podcast
    William has such a great format, approach and tone in this podcast that is so easy to vibe with. He offers great, deep, insightful information that he somehow manages to dispense in a light hearted & entertaining fashion. Reminds and encourages me to be playful, creative, and accepting with my ADHD ways (instead of going dark) and also gives first-string tips that have directly helped me so much. Great occasional interviews too. Love this material!
  • Denise Dance Techniques
    This is a Mental Health Must
    I loved this so much I talk about it on my tiktok page @unapologeticallyblaqq. The information here is so helpful. Especially for someone who doesnt understand themselves . I wish I would have known this growing up I would have been alot more gentle with myself. I get something informative out of every episode. Self managing is very difficult and this podcast makes you feel like you are not alone. The guest that he has are chefs kiss. I had my whole life summed up in episode 113. I highly recommend this.

  • Theresa Lear Levine ✨💕✨
    Awesome Resource for Support Empowerment and Knowledge
    William is a curious and open minded host. Some of my favorite qualities of ADHD. This platform certainly provides a lot of knowledge and empowerment for people challenged by symptoms of ADHD. If you’re looking for some “out of the box”, actionable and upbeat advice that’s scientifically proven and awesome for ADHD challenges, I recommend Ep. 112. ;) Keep making great Podcasts, William!

    I have listened to two episodes the first I(I liked) and this one. I tried to fine Ms. Levine’s educational history but …… nada. It would help.
  • jessierin85
    First time listener
    Listened to my first episode. The one one about money and psychology with Rick Weber and I felt so seen! My mind was blown. So stoked to have discovered this!
  • Sparkly Unicorn Magicalness
    So practical and helpful!
    This podcast has helped me have more compassion for myself and implement small changes that help life feel less frustrating. Thank you, William, for all the research, effort, and time you invest into making this show so valuable. I look forward to each new episode and find myself sharing what I learn with others.
  • JonJacobJingleHamstein
    On point
    This podcast has hit a lot nails on the head. I’ve felt broken and a mess for a long time because I’ve been in auto pilot for a long time. I feel like I’ve just recently noticed how many things have changed. I’m just trying to get to know myself better and how to use my ADHD to my advantage as opposed to detriment.
