The ADHD Social Playbook

Hosted by author, coach, and social skills expert Caroline Maguire, M.Ed, The ADHD Social Playbook is a heartfelt and practical podcast for neurodivergent adults who want real connection but often feel stuck, misunderstood, or overwhelmed. This show is for adults with ADHD and anxiety who struggle with making and keeping friends, managing emotional overwhelm, or constantly replaying social interactions. It’s for anyone who’s been told they’re “too much” or “too sensitive,” who feels behind socially, or who masks their true self just to fit in. Whether you were diagnosed with ADHD as a kid or just uncovered it as an adult, this podcast will help you untangle the social knots and start building the connections you deserve. Each episode features honest conversations with experts, advocates, and real people who get what it’s like to feel out of sync. Together, we explore how to build relationships that feel safe, show up with confidence, and recover from the bumps along the way. If you’re tired of social scripts that don’t fit and advice that doesn’t stick, this is your playbook for finding connection that actually works.

  Learning Self-Compassion & Self-Acceptance with Suzanna Sophos (Part 1)

  Sep 28, 202620 min

  For Suzanne Sophos, one of the biggest gifts of diagnosis was self-compassion. Before understanding her neurodivergence, struggles could feel like personal or character flaws. After diagnosis, she was able to understand those experiences through a different framework and extend herself the same grace she had always given her son. In this conversation, Suzanne and I explore what happens after an ADHD or autism diagnosis and why finding the right kind of support matters.

  The Wall of Awful (with Brendan Mahan)

  Sep 1, 202653 min

  In this episode, I talk with ADHD coach, executive function expert, and author Brendan Mahan about his powerful concept, the “Wall of Awful,” the emotional barrier that can build between us and the things we struggle to do. Brendan explains why procrastination, task paralysis, avoidance, and difficulty getting started are often about much more than motivation, discipline, or making a better to-do list. Past failures, guilt, shame, overwhelm, anxiety, rejection, and disappointment can become emotional “bricks” in the wall, while anxiety can act like the mortar holding those bricks together.
