  RSD and Alcohol: The ADHD Connection Nobody Talks About

  Jul 21, 202623 minS3

  That gut punch when someone leaves you on read. The spiral when a client says "can we have a chat." The need to have a drink before every party just to feel like you can show up. That is not anxiety. That is not being too sensitive. That is rejection sensitive dysphoria. And if you have ADHD, it might be the hidden reason you drank. This episode breaks down what RSD actually is, how it connects to alcohol use in ADHD brains, and what happens when you remove the thing that was dulling it. I share how RSD showed up in my own life for years without me knowing what it was, how alcohol became the fastest way to quiet the spiral, and why sobriety will trigger your RSD harder than ever before the magic happens. In this episode: What rejection sensitive dysphoria actually is and why it is one of the most underrated symptoms of ADHD The shame loop: how RSD triggers drinking, drinking triggers shame, and shame triggers more drinking Why you always needed a drink before social events and what was really happening in your brain A three question framework to interrupt the spiral before it starts Why sobriety makes RSD worse before it gets better and what the other side actually feels like How to start healing the wound underneath the behaviour Free RSD worksheet and guide available in the show notes.

  58. The Science of Alcohol & Your Brain: Why ADHD Brains Are Hit Hardest & How Sobriety Heals

  Jun 28, 202620 min

  Your brain starts repairing itself within 24 hours of your last drink. Not just feeling better. Actual neurological repair, visible on brain scans. This episode breaks down what alcohol does to your brain, what it does specifically to ADHD brains, and the full recovery timeline when you stop. I share the science backed data on how alcohol crosses the blood brain barrier within minutes of your first sip, triggers a borrowed dopamine surge, and shifts your hedonic set point so you need more and more just to feel normal. I also get into the ADHD specific research, why our brains are hit hardest, and why almost three years sober has been the single best decision I have ever made for my brain. In this episode: How alcohol hijacks GABA, glutamate and dopamine from the first sip ADHD brains have 30% lower baseline dopamine and ADHD drinkers show 67% less dopamine receptor availability What heavy drinking does over time: brain lesions, hippocampus shrinkage, prefrontal cortex damage Why the "one or two glasses is fine" narrative is being challenged by current neuroscience The full brain recovery timeline from 24 hours to 7 years Why nobody drinks to blackout by choice and why forgiveness matters more than willpower If this episode helped you, follow the show and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

  57. Business Ideas for ADHD Brains: How to Start, Stay Consistent & Stop Quitting When It Gets Boring

  Jun 9, 202627 min

  If you have ADHD and you have ever started a business, a side hustle, or a creative project, got incredibly excited, built the whole thing, and then suddenly hit a wall of boredom and wanted to start something completely new. This episode is for you. Because here is the truth nobody tells you. The building part is not the hard part. The strategy, the branding, the logo, the website, the Instagram page, the launch. That is the dopamine hit. That is the part your ADHD brain lives for. The hard part is what comes after. When the launch is done. When the excitement fades. When nothing is happening yet and the work feels repetitive and flat and boring. That is where most ADHD entrepreneurs quit. And that is exactly where this episode meets you. This week I am sharing the business ideas that genuinely work for ADHD brains. Not because they are easy. But because they tap into the things we are actually wired for. Hyperfocus. Creativity. Variety. High empathy. I talk about creative services, UGC content creation, coaching, digital products, courses, Canva templates, Etsy, events, community spaces, and more. I break down which ones you can start without a degree, which ones need some learning first, and why you do not need to go to university to build something real. This episode is not just a list of ideas. It is the conversation about what happens after the idea. I break down the ADHD boredom wall. The moment the dopamine rush of building fades and your brain starts scanning for the next exciting thing. I share the six month roadmap method I use to create future excitement around milestones that have not happened yet, so I can push through the flat days knowing what they are building towards. And I talk about why reframing a boring task is more powerful than abandoning it, because the boring work today is the foundation of the life you want in a few years time. I get really honest about my own journey running Wilde Creative Agency for nearly six years. From launching with rainbow monochrome branding, to five or six complete rebrandings, to burning out from taking on too many clients too cheaply, to learning the hard way that consistency is more important than creativity when you are building a brand. And why going back to a casual hotel job during a slow phase was one of the best decisions I ever made and why you should never let your ego stop you from doing the same. And there is a conversation in this episode that I think a lot of people need to hear. What it is like to be single right now and why I see this season of my life as the time to build. The first half of my life is for me. The next half will be for my family. And I do not need to apologise for that. What you start today will be your life in a few years time. You just have to get through the boring parts to get there. And I promise you, the other side of boring is everything you have been working towards. Business Ideas for ADHD Brains covered in this episode: Creative services: social media, content, marketing, photography, videography UGC: user generated content for brands Coaching: Special field of interest Digital products: interactive guides, mini courses, eBooks, templates Courses: create and sell your own, or make them for others Etsy: Canva and design templates to sell on or your own store Events, retreats and community spaces: volunteer first, build from there Connect with Jasmine 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifebizandallthatjazz 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminelisciottoofficial 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifebizandallthatjazz 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jasminelisciottoofficial ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JasmineLisciotto 💼 Wilde Creative Agency: https://www.instagram.com/wildecreativeagency Progress, not perfection.

  56. ADHD & Alcohol: Why Your Brain Was Wired to Self-Medicate & How Sobriety Changes Everything

  May 20, 202630 min

  Those of us who drank too much weren't doing it to party. We were doing it to feel normal. To quiet the chaos. To finally slow down a brain that never, ever stopped. If you ever used alcohol to cope, to numb, to feel something, to quiet the overwhelm, the rejection sensitivity, the spinning thoughts — this episode is for you. This is the episode I wish someone had made for me years ago. Because nobody was connecting the dots between ADHD and alcohol. Nobody was talking about why neurodivergent brains are so much more vulnerable to dependency. Nobody was explaining that it was never really about the drink — it was about regulation. In this episode I share my full story — from socially drinking at 15, to using alcohol to cope when my dad attempted to take his life, to the party years, to drinking alone after we lost him in 2016, to the 75 day challenges I kept completing and falling back from, to the morning I woke up at 35 and just stopped. Nearly a thousand days sober. Almost three years. And I am only just beginning. I also break down the science behind why ADHD brains are literally wired to self-medicate with alcohol — the dopamine connection, the masking, the shame spiral, the slide from coping to dependency — and what actually becomes possible when you remove it. This is not about telling you to stop drinking. This is about giving you the awareness, the compassion, and the information you deserve to make that decision for yourself. And at the end — I have something for you. My ADHD Sobriety Survival Kit. Eight chapters, a Notion Hub, nervous system reset tools, a dopamine menu, alcohol free social scripts and more. Built by an ADHD brain, for ADHD brains. And it is completely free. SHOW NOTES 🎁 FREE — ADHD Sobriety Survival Kit 👉 https://jasminelisciotto.com.au/shop/adhd-sobriety-survival-kit Homework for today: 1️⃣ Write down three things alcohol was doing FOR you — not to you. Quieting, numbing, suppressing, masking, surviving. 2️⃣ If you are sober curious, write down the areas of your life where alcohol is affecting you negatively. Keep it somewhere safe. Things are about to change.
