About the show

Practical Strategies for the ADHD Brain

For over fifteen years, Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast has been a steady voice for adults navigating life with ADHD. Host Nikki Kinzer, a certified ADHD coach, and co-host Pete Wright bring warmth, humor, and hard-won practical strategy to the work of building a life that actually fits the way your brain works — not the way someone else thinks it should.

Each week, the show tackles the real stuff: planning systems that stick, the emotional weight of executive dysfunction, relationships, work, and the daily business of getting things done without shame. No quick fixes, no toxic productivity — just honest conversation and tools you can use, from two people who've spent years figuring out what genuinely helps.
