The Brain Chronicle | September 2024 Edition

Hello Brains & Hearts!

Happy September! 🍁✨

Fall is such a wonderful time to slow down, curl up in a warm blanket with a pumpkin spice latte, and analyze the year. Here at How to ADHD, we’ve been doing everything but slowing down! Jessica just flew back from a week-long writing retreat, where she started working on something new… (hint: it rhymes with ‘nook’... okay, maybe that was too obvious 🤭). More on that in the coming months.

In true ADHD fashion, we’re writing this chronicle the day it’s set to go out! 🤪Things have been crazy over here as we start working to set new goals and really dig deep into the content that we’ve already put out to see what we’re missing and how we could better serve you! In the meantime, thank you for being the incredible community that you are – your support is what makes it all possible.

All the best,

The How to ADHD Team

Behind The Brains

Hello Behind the Brains! 

We have an update to your perks that we want to share with you ahead of time. In the coming weeks, we are going to start introducing a new perk for you all: ad-free videos! This will be replacing the Minecraft Server perk, as keeping the server running has proven to be rather unsustainable for our team. However, we hope that you’ll enjoy having videos that are free of ads!  After all, it’s thanks to you all that we can be picky about what sponsorships we take on in the first place!
