About this listen

The beloved authors of Dirty Laundry break down the harmful stereotypes about people with ADHD to help you stop being your worst fear-leader, start bigging yourself up, and live your best neurodivergent life.

When “ADHD wife” Roxanne Pink and neurotypical husband Richard Pink asked their community of 2.5 million what the biggest ADHD struggle is, the thousands of replies changed everything. As they learned, the real enemy isn’t productivity or focus, but the toxic ADHD core beliefs we’ve internalized.

With candor and kindness, they share personal stories to highlight and reframe the 10 big lies that ADHD people believe about themselves. From “I am lazy” to “Everybody hates me” and “I quit everything I start,” Small Talk will empower ADHDers and those who love them to navigate life with compassion, humor, and hope. Whether you were diagnosed early or are new to the neurospicy community, Small Talk will change your relationship with yourself and others.

Learn how to:

Identify your limiting ADHD beliefs

Break free from neurotypical standards

Support and understand your ADHDers

Adopt a self-kindness mindset

Communicate your needs & boundaries

Celebrate the joys of ADHD

Honest Truth Bombs

As a fellow ADHD-er…this truly was the kick in the ass I needed to embolden myself & become my own advocate.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you *so much* for writing this book. I cried, I laughed, I commiserated. I feel validated in my experiences & choices & that in itself is healing. Your vulnerability in sharing these deeply personal stories inspired me to be more open to my diagnosis.

It is okay to have ADHD & it is also okay to struggle with the symptoms. We have a path forward…it just might be a little different than the neurotypical one.

Excellent

I can’t express how much I needed to hear this book. Clearly written, engaging stories, all told authentically. It’s actually changed my life for the better.

his and her perspectives

I would hear her describe her struggles that are also my struggles then I would hear him understand her and explain how to support her. I learned about myself and supports that would work. I also realize I've not seen any of the support described in my life. I cried with validation tears and hope anyone that wants to understand their adhd lady will also read this. 5 stars. absolutely the best info and very realistic.

An urgently needed message!!

Thank you Rox and Richard for sharing so much of your stories, experiences, and what you learned to speak to all of us and give voice to what we're experiencing too. Though our stories won't necessarily be exactly like yours, there is so very much that is in common, while still being within the context of unique experience, that this book is an amazing gift for all of us and for our loved ones. THANK YOU for the courage to make this happen precisely when you did, and THANK YOU for being yourselves for us too!! ❤️

Relatable

This was my first audio book that I finished all the way through and that’s because this book really hit me to my core. I struggle with ADHD while also trying to help my 11yo who also has ADHD. This book made me smile and cry because it made me feel heard and seen. I’ve been on instagram and follow a few people who talk about ADHD, but this book really made me feel like I wasn’t alone, and I should really start being kinder to myself. I know it was a struggle for you to get this book finished, but thank you so much for doing it. I love the fact it not only has a neurodivergent point a view, but also from a neurotypical who are married because that’s my marriage <3

I talk BIG TALK to myself from now on!

I loved this book. I loved their 1st book too. It truly was revealing how much Small talk I do towards myself. This book brought acceptance and understanding for myself to myself. When you listen(read) the book you'll understand too. Highly recommended for those with ADHD and also for anybody that is learning how to Love their own ADHD'ers.
Thank You, J.A.H.

emotions are key .... Rich and Rox explain why

I found it very helpful to hear both Rox's and Riches version of all the subjects they covered. Listening to both of them talk about each subject not only helped me to feel validated in what's happening with me but it also helped me understand what my partner of 30 years goes through on a daily basis. At 51 I still feel like I'm a young "adult" still learning how to navigate the world. I feel useless and less than all the time. However I see now how wrong I was and how much I have to offer. I'm not saying I'm fixed by any strech of the imagination but I do feel I am on the right path to a healthier outlook on my self now. Also the idea of body doubling is new to me. However I already know it works because I can think of so many times when just the simple act of someone sitting with me while I take on a task that I have been putting off helps heaps and heaps. I never understood why that was.
I have listened to many ADHD self help books over the years. They have been helpful in thier own ways but none of them have touched a nerve (in a good way) like this book. It's like Rich and Rox opened my brain and looked what was inside.
If you are struggling with ADHD or even if you think you have a handle on things I can say from experience that chances are you are masking. please listen to this book you will feel seen afterwards. I promise.
To Rich and Rox if you read your reviews, thank you. I had no idea that what I was going through others have too. I cried many times because you made me feel so seen .... in a good way. Please please please keep doing what you are doing, you make a masive difference in so may people's lives. 💚💙🩵
