What if there were a National ADHD Holiday? Chase Squirrelson welcomes Hortense Ezekiel Holiday from NADA (the National Association of Distracted Americans) to explore this delightfully chaotic idea. From committee meetings and potential sponsors to parade routes, holiday safety tips, and dumpster-diving apps, Chase and Ezekiel tackle what it might take to make this very special day a reality. And, of course, things get a little sidetracked along the way!
What if we had a national holiday just for people with ADHD? Would businesses close? Would there be a parade? And who’s in charge of planning the whole thing?
This week, Chase Squirrelson welcomes Hortense Ezekiel Holiday from NADA, the National Association of Distracted Americans, to talk about his vision for a National ADHD Holiday. They get into holiday plans, potential sponsors, committee meetings, safety tips, dumpster diving, painting, and a few unexpected detours. Chase even volunteers to join the committee—but first, somebody needs to figure out when the next meeting is!
It’s a conversation full of ADHD-style twists, unexpected ideas, and plenty of laughs. Tune in and see if this holiday might actually happen!
