Let’s talk about a game-changer that can make life with ADHD easier: AI!
Increased stress (especially this time of year) often amplifies ADHD symptoms, making things like forgetfulness and overwhelm more common—but AI can step in to lighten the load.
In this episode, I’m sharing 8 practical ways I use AI (specifically ChatGPT) to support my ADHD and simplify my life.
From brainstorming recipes with random fridge ingredients to breaking down big goals into bite-sized tasks, AI has become my go-to tool for tackling executive function struggles and reducing stress.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

How AI can help with meal planning, replying to emails, and spell-checking.
Ways to use AI for creative ideas, like gift suggestions or content creation.
How AI supports big projects like hiring a VA or applying for jobs.
Tips for asking AI for encouragement, advice, or even ADHD-specific research.

If you’ve been skeptical about AI, like I was at first, I encourage you to tune in.
This isn’t about replacing you—it’s about partnering with a tool that understands your needs and helps you thrive.
