Intro to Season Two: Finding The Anchor in the Everyday

Behind every neurodivergent family, there are people helping to ease the overwhelm people who help us steady ourselves when life feels like too much.
Season Two of Even The Dog Has ADHD is about them. The organisers, educators, and specialists who help families find calm in the clutter, clarity in the everyday, and the anchors that hold us when everything around us shifts.
This season shines a light on real ADHD support practical, compassionate conversations that help families and adults living with ADHD find more ease in daily life. Because understanding doesn’t just come from diagnosis. It grows through listening to the people who help us make sense of our minds, our homes, and each other.
From Clutter to Clarity
We begin with Caroline Thor, a professional organiser and KonMari consultant who supports families with neurodivergence to create homes that work for their brains.
Caroline’s story begins with overwhelm three small children, endless clutter, and the emotional toll of trying to hold everything together. What she discovered wasn’t just a method of tidying, but a way of creating space for peace and presence.
Our conversation explores how clutter connects to shame, sensory needs, and family dynamics. We talk about why “put the damn thing away” might just be one of the kindest mantras for ADHD homes, and how letting go of things, expectations, and guilt can be an act of healing.
In Caroline’s story, the anchor is the home itself not perfect or polished, but a space that supports who you are. Her approach offers a kind of ADHD help online, practical for adults and families trying to bring calm to busy homes.
From Burnout to Balance
Then we meet Helen Buzdugan, a careers adviser and founder of True to You Careers, who works with parents trying to stay afloat in systems not built for their reality.
Helen’s story will resonate with anyone who has reached the point of burnout and had to rebuild life around new understandings ADHD, perimenopause, flexible work, and the unpredictable rhythms of family life.
We talk about the pressure to “go back to normal” after lockdown, and how for many families, normal no longer fits. Helen’s work helps parents reimagine their careers with honesty and hope, not by chasing what once was, but by creating something that supports who they are now.
Her anchor became purpose the steady knowing that meaningful work doesn’t have to come at the cost of health or home. For adults seeking ADHD help or coaching support to rebuild life and work with more balance, Helen’s story is a gentle reminder that purpose itself can be an anchor.
From Awareness to Action
And then there’s Majid, a SENCO, coach, and host of Roots and Minds. His work with young people blends emotional intelligence, education, and empathy in a way that feels deeply needed right now.
Diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and dyscalculia at 40, he speaks from lived experience, turning his own journey into advocacy for the next generation.
We talk about how emotional intelligence is the missing language in many classrooms, how self-awareness transforms learning, and how lockdown has left a lingering hangover for young people struggling to re-enter the world.
For Majid, the anchor is connection helping young people understand themselves so they can build relationships that steady them in uncertain times. His work highlights how ADHD help for adults often begins with understanding the same principles we teach our children: awareness, empathy, and community.
The Heart of Season Two
These are not just interviews. They are conversations with people who have walked the same roads as the families they now support.
They know what it’s like to juggle work, home, and systems that don’t bend easily. They know what it’s like to love deeply and still feel like you’re dropping balls.
And they are just the beginning.
Throughout this season, many more guests will bring their skills, understanding, and practical ADHD support to different aspects of family life, from education and emotional wellbeing to home environments, creativity, and careers reshaped by caring for high-needs children.
Season Two is about finding the anchors that hold us steady in the everyday, the conversations, routines, and connections that remind us we’re not alone.
