Shownotes

You meet someone, become instant best friends, and a few months later they're gone. Then it happens again.
Most ADHD advice focuses on productivity, but Caroline Maguire believes we're missing something just as important: friendship. Caroline is a certified ADHD coach and the author of Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults.
In this conversation, Skye and Caroline explore why ADHD brains often rush into friendships, why traditional friendship advice falls flat, and how to build relationships that actually last without burning yourself out.
You'll walk away with a practical way to spot unhealthy friendship patterns before they cost you another connection.
