141 - Forget Me Not: Mental Blind Spots & Brains Built Different
In this episode, Ridge and Shelby talk about mental blind spots and the different ways memory shows up in everyday life. Much of the conversation focuses on what Shelby’s stepdaughter believes may be undiagnosed ADHD, which often appears as forgotten names, poor time awareness, losing track of thoughts, and realizing entire moments of the day have slipped by unnoticed. Ridge contrasts this with his own experience of exceptionally strong recall—so strong, in fact, that his family frequently jokes about his ability to remember conversations, details, and moments others forget. He also points out an important distinction in Shelby’s memory: while names, time, and daily events often fade quickly, Shelby tends to remember physical actions and hands-on tasks extremely well, retaining how things were built, fixed, or done even when other details are lost. Together, they explore how differently minds can work, how those differences affect relationships and self-understanding, and how recognizing personal blind spots can lead to more patience, clarity, and better communication. If you enjoyed the episode, please remember to subscribe, rate, and share—or at least try to remember. If you forget, that’s on brand. You can find the show wherever you listen to podcasts… assuming you remember what app you opened in the first place.
