ADHD or life? - A couples perspective!
Bonus Episode: Why Is Everyone Talking About Spoons? (And Why We’re Not Sure)
23 Jun 2025
Send us a textThis week’s bonus episode is all about spoons—but not the kind you eat with! Adam’s joined the Dubbi Club from ADHD_LOVE and started body doubling (think: Zoom calls with a bunch of people all working together to stay accountable). But suddenly, everyone’s talking about “spoon theory”—and honestly, Adam’s not convinced it fits.Donna’s not a fan of Adam’s “charging the battery” analogy either, so we try out a few more: WiFi signals, traffic lights, and anything else that helps explain what it’s like to manage energy with ADHD (spoiler: we’re still searching for the perfect fit).We share what’s working for us, what isn’t, and why some of these metaphors just don’t land. Plus, Adam shares how body doubling is going so far (and, as always, there are a few laughs and awkward moments along the way).Have you tried body doubling? Do you use spoon theory, or do you have your own way of describing your energy? Let us know—we love hearing your stories!Find out more at: www.adhdorlife.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/adhdorlifepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@adhdorlifepodTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/adhdorlifepodFacebook: https://facebook.com/adhdorlifepodFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adhdrelationshipsunfiltered#ADHD #ADHDorLife #SpoonTheory #BodyDoubling #Neurodiversity #ADHDCouple #MentalHealth #EnergyManagement #DubbiClub #Podcast #ADHDPodcast #ADHDSupport #ADHDAwareness #ADHDCommunityTune in every week for more conversations and revelations!
