ADHD talk that reaches into grief, parenting and business.
Ky sits down with one guest at a time to talk about ADHD and mental health, and the conversations travel well past the diagnosis, into motherhood, grief, hormones, aging and running a business. He pushes for practical detail, asking what someone actually does when the inner critic gets loud or a setback lands.

The Vibe With Ky Podcast is an interview show about ADHD and mental health, built on one-on-one conversations between Ky and a single guest. Ky greets listeners as 'Vibers', thanks them for watching as well as listening, and talks about 'our ADHD community', so the show sits inside its subject rather than observing it from outside. What keeps it from feeling narrow is how far the guests carry that starting point. Ari Scott makes the case that the way ADHD brains are wired suits the skills entrepreneurship asks for. Later in that conversation, Ari describes years of running a solo, content-led brand, then taking on a business partner and a team, and calls the months that followed the hardest stretch of an entrepreneurial career. Rozelle Gipson recounts a primary care physician raising ADHD, a six-month wait for testing, and a doctor surprised by how high the scores came back. Rozelle also notes that the process was not neuroaffirming, a word the conversation flags as newer vocabulary. Chester Gregory, a personal friend of Ky's, describes a therapist telling him to slow down because there was nothing to fix, and talks about losing people close to him. Then the show moves into general health. Dr. Nayan Patel describes hormones as a pyramid, with cortisol and insulin at the base, thyroid above, and sex hormones at the small tip, all governed by the pituitary and hypothalamus. The episode's opening clip argues that lasting results depend on work on stress and diet, not hormones alone. The Chris Burres conversation starts from a plan to live to 125 and from the confusion between living longer and living longer in decline. Ky's interviewing style is the thread through all of it. He tends to ask for specifics: the exact technique someone uses when the inner critic gets loud, or a time they messed up and had to choose recovery over a spiral. He frames that second question with his own observation that ADHDers are experts at self-punishment. He also offers his own history, telling Kassi Mansfield that for a long time he used humor to deflect from trauma and now uses it to process his reality. Her answer, that sarcasm is both shield and tool and a way through social anxiety, includes a line about finding the right 'flirt to roast ratio'. She also explains why she lets her two little boys see real emotion. The mood is warm and upbeat, and the sponsor tie-in fits it: a custom fragrance called 'Why Did I Walk Into This Room?', with notes of cherry pie, cinnamon and acceptance. The sign-off is 'much love, good vibes'. For the ADHD core, the Rozelle Gipson and Ari Scott episodes are natural entry points; for the wider health material, start with Dr. Nayan Patel or Chris Burres.
Made for: Suits a listener with ADHD or a late diagnosis who wants warm, practical conversation about how it shows up in parenting, work, grief and health, rather than a clinical explainer.
What sets it apart: Ky carries an ADHD lens into subjects like longevity, stress hormones, motherhood and grief, and presses guests for the specific thing they do when things go wrong, sometimes putting his own history on the table alongside the question.
