Come and hyperfixate on us.
ADHD coach Meghann Birks joins Jenny and Frank on the show to nut this one out. Being 'obsessive' doesn't have the most positive connotations, but our hyperfixations can also connect us to community, propel us towards goals and benefit our working life.
Some people have one lifelong obsession, while for others a special interest could last an intensive few months or years before being replaced by the next shiny thing. And then what do you do with all your unicycles/grappling hooks/cosplay outfits? (Meghann's got an answer for that.)
What does the nature of our obsession tell us about what's going in our inner life? (Gary Oldman indirectly answers that one.)
How is our reward system and identity affected by each venture? Finally, what's the difference between an obsession and an addiction?
