Personally, I don’t find that this podcast is affirming to my experience of neurodivergence. It feels a little too akin to toxic positivity and reinforces the medical model of disability, which can be very detrimental to our community. I’m glad it seems to be helpful to some women, but it’s not for me.

Tracy Otsuka’s Podcast on AI I can hear a lot of passion in her guest (Muxin Li)’s voice. I would just mention a couple of things. Muxin’s slight speech impediment (not pronouncing L’s or th’s intermittently, struggling with enunciation generally) is distracting as a guest, and I think some basic speech coaching could really help her be more successful as a speaker. Secondly, the average listener knows what a synchronicity is, it’s a commonly used term. Thirdly, Muxin is using chat gpt/AI speak throughout her discussion, but markedly in her introduction. Terms like “maestro,” “North Star,” etc. are specifically AI terms. I think chat gpt does an amazing job at convincing people about things they can use it for, but without a launched product, it’s simply hypotheticals. She is not a founder, she is in the midst of an idea stage. Chat gpt is already breaking down. Most professionals today consider it to be unusable due to hallucinations, memory issues and lack of repeatability. It’s gotten much worse recently. To me, she sounds delusional about AI, well meaning but lost in chat gpt hype. I can’t understand how she became a guest…? She admits she only launched her landing page today. I was very hopeful myself about AI and chat gpt, but we need to be honest about its limitations and privacy concerns (Palantir, Peter Thiel, creating a social credit score). One of my main issues with Tracy is that she is extremely well off, and somehow always seems to drop her financial success and wealth. Trips to Italy and New York City, kids in college, multiple homes, staff, a healthy family, and it comes across as profoundly boomer and out of touch. At one point, referring to chat gpt, she says “You can put your whole life in there?!?” Yeah, don’t do that sis. At least offer a cybersecurity warning. You’re putting your whole life into Microsoft servers. Not to mention, it doesn’t have a solid memory. I’m not saying it’s useless, I just think both the podcaster and her guest are exceptionally uneducated to be sharing a public podcast on the topic of AI/chat GPT. Even copy pasted scripts sound very generic and are obviously chat GPT generated.

Tracy, discovering your podcast earlier this year felt like a life raft. As someone diagnosed at 30, I was craving validation and real-life examples that didn't make me feel like I needed to "fix" myself to succeed. Every episode makes me feel less alone and more empowered. You've built something truly special here—thank you for helping me fall in love with my ADHD brain.

This is a great podcast with lots of guests and a deep episode bench. As someone who loves to listen to podcasts, this is such a great find. Thank you!

I’m 52 and newly discovered ADHD. Things are making so much more sense now. If only I could get my husband to understand this. I just found this podcast yesterday and I am in love! I feel seen and understood, just because of all the relation. I don’t feel shameful anymore. And to discover the professionals out there like myself who also have ADHD is the big bonus! Thank you

Thank you for helping me realize my differences are a super power! Awesome tricks and tools for maximizing ADHD and being my best self!

Tracy’s podcast brings forward the most dynamic women rewriting the script on ADHD. As I like to say, “You are more than your diagnosis.” Thank you for showcasing the power of our strengths not just the deficits.

I was diagnosed with combined type ADHD later in life after my son was born. I took the news hard and was unsure of what the future looked like for me. My therapist suggested this podcast, and it was everything I needed. Listening to everyone’s stories made me finally feel like I had found my people. The intelligent discussion and brilliant suggestions have been priceless. Tracy is truly our fairy godmother. She’s given the gift of positive emotion in this space and I couldn’t be more grateful. I read her book cover to cover (first book I’ve fully completed in more years than I’d like to admit- you all know where I’m coming from). Bravo, truly

Tracy’s podcast has helped me to feel that I’m not broken, I just have ADHD. I’ve learned workarounds & found a community. Listening to Tracy’s podcast led me to her AOK course, which helped me identify my values & passions & find my purpose. I feel More powerful & productive, thanks to Tracy & her awesome guests!

Elizabeth Elfenbein Rocks Her Values!! This story of Elizabeth’s art and marketing of her important values, true to her brilliant brain and sense of justice is powerful. She makes it happen yet today by being true to herself, knowing her strengths and creating what she sees the world needs. Simple awareness and deep compassion makes a difference! Bravo Elizabeth!!!

I first found Tracy’s book on audiobooks and listened to it there which led me to the podcast. The sense of validation and hearing stories so similar to mine have provided such a healing process for myself while laying a strong foundation for my daughter who is showing many signs of early ADHD. Tracy interviews a wide variety of guest, which also provide validation in hearing that people across different lifestyles and careers have found ways to use the strength of ADHD to find success.

I found the book at the book store first. I then see you have a podcast. I also have a podcast. I am loving the show, and your book and knowing I am not alone. Knowing why I am how I am. Thank you for raising awareness and creating such a powerful space to educate and help so many women. 🩷🩷 I feel like I’m now not alone which feels huge. I would love to have you on my podcast.

This series has made me laugh, given me hope, and helped me grow. I remember being up above Denver coming home from a trip to my daughter’s, staring out the window binge listening to your podcasts that I had downloaded. I knew I had adhd, but episode 78 about what does ADHD look like in women spoke to my heart in such an impactful way. There was another episode with an older lady who struggled in school… I wish I could remember her name- but she was disciplined for her tendencies and my heart just melted… anyway, spot on and so encouraging. Thank you Tracy❤️

I have now only listened to two episodes but each one really hit home and was SO relatable. I am grateful to not feel alone in my diagnosis and continue to learn about ADHD by listening to this podcast! Thank you!!

FINALLY a place that focuses on the STRENGTHS of ADHD instead of just the struggles. I was 26 when I realized I had ADHD and I am very thankful for the mindset shift the host gives to focus on the positives of having an ADHD brain and realizing it is a powerful tool! Not something to be ashamed of or that holds you back. Thankful for this encouraging podcast!! Can’t wait to listen to all of it.

I’m grateful that I found your podcast. I am recently diagnosed with ADHD at age 53. Everything in my life makes so much more sense now that I know that. It explains so much. I listened to the first 14 episodes to get a feel for it and then I jumped to ones starting in 2025. Once I’m caught up, I will go back and start with episode 15. I am learning so much from both the similarities and differences in our ADHD and our lives. Again, I am grateful and appreciate you… Jeannie George

I enjoyed the energy of the host and guest for the episode I tried to listen to. But they took entirely too long to get to the point. Telling childhood stories of how you had to sneak and watch tv and long drawn out stories of how you grew up made me loose interest in the topic. Getting some tangible actionable info earlier would be great. I would recommend they get to the point quicker.

Thank you for building this community where we can celebrate the diverse ways our creative brains work!

I am a 31-year-old woman who has an ACES score of 9 and spent the majority of my life being told I was too much. Too loud, too emotional, too dramatic, too honest. It’s only been recently that I’ve discovered I likely have ADHD, which has been misdiagnosed for the entirety of my life as depression and anxiety due to trauma. This podcast has been a light at the end of a difficult road and I could not be more grateful for tuning in each week for a sense of understanding and community. This podcast is uplifting, and it is hopeful. It is real, and it pays homage to the struggles we face while celebrating the strengths that make us who we are. For the first time in my life, I feel understood and I could not be more grateful. If you want a weekly dose of humor, hope, and heart, this podcast is for you.

I really enjoyed this podcast until the episode about ADHD and addiction. The guest speaks about how anyone can detach from all forms of media, email, and physical mail. She explains she’s able to do so due to her assistant and husband, and I was reeling at how out of touch it all sounded. What a privilege it must be to be able to afford to pay the salary of an assistant and be so willfully ignorant to the world around you as if it has no effect on you. This in turn makes me question the judgement of the host, who did nothing but ooh and ahh over how she wants to do that too.

I learned so much about how my brain works and why with the book and the podcast. There have been occasionally things I don’t 100% agree with but completely minor be cause I was getting so much more out of it. The latest episode opens on a huge political push that crushed me.

I want to first off say THANK YOU to Tracey, without this podcast I don’t know if I would have really begun to understand my recently diagnosed ADHD. Being diagnosed as a 51 year old has been absolutely life changing, I still have a long way to go to fully understand everything, and I am so incredibly happy to have Tracey and this podcast to help me along the way.

As a late diagnosed ADHD woman who made it all the way through my PhD before being diagnosed - and only because I figured it out myself - I hear myself in so many of these interviews. It’s also great to hear that we all still struggle and everyone’s different strategies. I totally recommend this podcast for other too scary for their own good ADHD women!

I just discovered this podcast by searching for emotional regulation in the search bar, and up popped episode 6. This really resonated with me and was exactly what I needed to hear. I am so glad to now have this wonderful resource in my pocket! I joined the FB group as well. I’ve always suspected that I have ADHD but I was always quickly dismissed when I brought it up to family. Now, working with my therapist and finding resources, I feel validated and hopeful that even in my 30’s, it’s not too late to address this properly and that I deserve help and validation. I am very excited to be here ❤️

I just discovered you in June and your positive message resonates with me. I’m so thankful that you didn’t allow critical reviews to stop you. I also love starting my day with your “blends”. Never thought I could “meditate” they really help restore my peace. Keep up the good work! You are a blessing!

I have only listened to a few episodes and am already loving this podcast. Every time I read the description of a new-to-me episode I want to listen to it right away. I love how Tracy delivers the information and what she teaches about. It’s helping me to better understand ADHD, my traits, and how to manage traits that negatively affect my life. And, it encourages me to celebrate traits that positively affect my life. I can’t wait to listen to more episodes!

Tracy is authentic, validating and empowering. She covers essential ADHD topics with fresh perspectives. I especially enjoyed the episode with Dr. Fiona Peters on Perfectionism. Highly recommend Tracy’s show!

In January 2024, I happened to hear Tracy on Episode 203 of The Clutterbug Podcast (“Could You Have ADHD? Let’s break down the signs with Tracy Otsuka”) and for the first time, at age 51, I found an explanation for so many of my habits that bother me or others — and explain some of my best traits. I’ve since been diagnosed with ADHD and other neurodiversity and can’t thank Tracy and Cas Aarssen enough for giving me new hope.

I’m still crying nearly every episode even though I’m an OT and self diagnosed myself over 10 years ago. It’s mind blowing how your amazing guests are helping me to discover new aspects of my brain that I never attributed to ADHD! Love, love, LOVE this podcast!!!

I cried through Tracy’s 1st episode and couldn’t believe I’ve lived 44 years without a diagnosis!!! Thank you Tracy for your real talk, passion and positivity in celebrating what makes us different, not deficient!

Really enjoyed the episode with Laura Key! Big fan of you both! Thank you for doing what you do & bringing light to this very real topic. 🎉🎉🎉

I’ve been listening to this awe inspiring podcast for years now and there are so many episodes that just make me cry. Flat out. I feel so seen and understood. I have found my tribe! Tracy is an absolute GEM. All of the time and resources (and pizzazz) she puts out into the world is invaluable, thought provoking, and absolutely from the heart. She is a bright flame, a true a gift, in the most challenging of times.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air in a neurotypical word that highlights nothing but the bad about ADHD and seeks to make those that are different feel out of place and inferior. This podcast has made me not feel so alone and now be able to recognize my own strengths and that of those like me, including my son! Thank you!

I was diagnosed with ADHD, predominantly inattentive type, just 5 months ago shortly after my 43rd birthday. My LMHC recommended Tracy’s book. I discovered the podcast after getting the book. I have learned so much about my ADHD brain from listening. I gain insight from every single episode, even the ones I wouldn’t think relate to my life. Thank you Tracy, for sharing your passion to help women navigate how to embrace our ADHD brains.

Why can’t I get this episode off my phone ? What the heck .. I’ve unfollowed show, removed downloads and done everything possible and yet this episode haunts me- it’s always there as if I’m playing it unless I play something else and then there it is again. It pops up playing in my car! Be gone!!!

What a relief when I found this podcast! Being diagnosed in my 40’s, I’ve been on a journey of understanding how to help my challenges and celebrate where adhd is a my superpower and then pass along what I know to my clients. I love how the podcast gives both stories - the I’m not alone healing - and ways to help me. It’s like a college class. And the Facebook group is essential. What a world that Tracy has created here! Listen and love it too!

As a woman who was diagnosed with ADHD in her 30s, I’ve found Tracy and her podcast refreshing and validating! This podcast makes me feel empowered by my ADHD and less like it’s a negative part of who I am. Any woman who has (or suspects they have) ADHD should be tuning in!

The number of times I have sent these podcasts to people to help explain things happening in my brain I can’t explain or didn’t understand and now do really shows how helpful and relatable this podcast is. I have learned so much about myself, my brain and have learned to love and embrace and use this powerful brain to my benefit. Don’t sleep on this podcast it’s added to my life so much!

Tracy's genuine passion for empowering ADHD women shines through every episode. Tracy's personal journey with ADHD, coupled with her background as a lawyer and certified ADHD coach, brings so much knowledge to every conversation.

This was the podcast I had been looking for! I had spent the majority of my life swimming through molasses trying to grow, build and find a life worth living. I always felt something was “off” and asked myself why everything was so much harder for me compared to so many other people. After being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 33, I finally understood what was happening. It was a huge step, but very isolating and with that, a lot of emotions came into play. Where were the resources, the tribe that gets it, the community etc … and boom, what do you know, I found all of that here! Tracy speaks to the superpowers that come with ADHD and with every fantastic guest comes the inspired guarantee in a multitude of forms that you absolutely have endless opportunities and potential. The trick is harnessing your skill set to make it yours. It is part of my self care to listen to this podcast because it reminds me that there is no such thing as a learning deficit, only learning differences and differences are GREAT! So much so, I started my own consulting company; inspired by all of this great stuff here! LOVE this PC!

I LOVE hearing about so many other women who either have or suspect they have ADHD and how they have embraced the fact that their brains just work differently. I fall into the 'suspect I have' category, and it explains SO MUCH. I've learned a ton from the array of guests, but the episode that spoke to my soul was the one on which Tracy talked about grief in the wake of her mom's passing. I happened to listen to it just about 3 years after my mom's passing, and it took me right back to my experience 3 years before. I can totally relate to much of what Tracy shared! We neurodivergent folks definitely process things differently. Thank you, Tracy, for bringing women like us into each others' lives.

This is my favorite episode ever, no shade to Grace. I LOVED how you both just ADHD'd through it and it was so fun. I'm literally listening on a roadtrip, pulled over to get gas (because i for got to fill up before I left to head home) and had to leave a review before I forgot. Also, Brooke totally sold me on her book and yours too, Tracy. I have it in my Amazon cart, I guess it's time to check out.

Been listening for about a year. Early 50s, diagnosed at 35. Combined type. Didn’t really dive in to my own adhd experience until a combination of adhd, perimenopause, and long COVID contributed to the demise of a 6 month romantic relationship I thought would be for the long haul. The perimenopause/adhd difficulties intensified in early ‘22. I could no longer mask my difficulties. Time blindness and hyperfocus were the downfall. Your podcast has me laughing and crying every week. This episode I totally related to the curly hair. I’ve learned to love my curly hair, but straight is easier. If I get a blowout, I can go days without washing, and can make it look nice with a brush. Curly is more time consuming. Still trying to find a balance!!!

Tracy is an amazing host and so easy to talk to. Tracy, thank you for having me on. I so enjoy listening to your pod!

Thank you, Tracy, to you and your team for sharing inspiring and extremely helpful information with the world through this podcast, and also through your book and online classes! In this podcast you will enjoy interviews with some of the top experts on neurodiversity, and also many inspiring stories from neurodivergent individuals who have found great success, both personally and professionally. Lots of helpful and entertaining episodes on personal development as well. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Tracy, for your leadership and courage in this field.

What a breath of fresh air. Tracy knows exactly how to deliver tangible advice and insights that make having ADHD feel like a superpower. She continually shows up giving 110% — and I appreciate the no fluff approach. All gold, no fluff. Thank you, Tracy!

Thank you Tracy for writing your book, starting this podcast, and being a coach! I learned I had ADHD through your book that I found through the episode you were on with Jenna Kutcher. My mind is blown and all the pieces have fell into place! Now I’m learning how to use ADHD to my advantage.

Great episode! How comforting it is to align with so many of the symptoms discussed.

I am so grateful for Tracy’s work via this podcast and her new book! This is the first podcast review I have ever written! I never write reviews, mostly because I have gotten distracted or can’t fully articulate my feelings, but I decided this was too important to not acknowledge. I am a 43 year old mom of 4 and entrepreneur. Over the past year I suspected I might have adhd after listening to some other podcasts where the subject was discussed. I found it interesting but didn’t think much more about it as it swirled into the mix of hundreds or ideas and thoughts running through my mind. It wasn’t until the start of the year when I was really struggling with some thinking and planning for my business paired with serious burnout after some intense months filled with pushing it to the limit that I reached a breaking point and started doing some serious soul searching. I had talked with my therapist about adhd which she agreed I most likely had and I remembered Tracy and her work and was pleased to see she had a new book! As I read the book and started listening to the podcast episodes my life unfolded before my eyes. For the first time ever, everything I always wondered about from my weaknesses to my strengths made sense! I am not exaggerating when I say Tracy explained myself and my brain to me in a way I had never heard it explained or knew it could be explained. I am so grateful for this midlife revelation! It is so encouraging to me to understand what is going on with me and how I work and how my mind works. I was very anxious and depressed a month ago as I was ruminating and catastrophizing about myself and my work. I still have plenty to sort out and figure out moving forward, but with the knowledge and support I have gained from Tracy’s work, I feel like I can do the hard things. I can know myself better. I can finally understand why I am the way I am. If you have not read Tracy’s book, I highly recommend it. And like Tracy when I’m excited about something I can’t shut up about it! If you think you might have ADHD or have a friend or family member working thinking about or with ADHD I guarantee you and they will not regret reading it. Thank you Tracy!
