The Wavy Brain Podcast
Inspiring conversations at the intersection of work, life, and neurodiversity with Lindsay Binette & Lauren Ascher
Our Why
Hosts Lindsay and Lauren are both former corporate superstars turned ADHD coaches who were diagnosed with ADHD in their late-30s. They are also both moms who are unlocking the generational neurodiversity within their own families. Discovering their passion for coaching transformed their lives, and made them want to change the narrative around neurodiversity. They believe that the different ways we think, learn, and process information should be talked about, understood, and celebrated in all areas of life.
Neurodivergent thinkers contribute to the world in the most interesting ways and often have inspiring non-linear career paths that follow a wavy line rather than a straight line. We believe that when we can finally talk openly and accept ourselves for who we are and how we think, we’ll all go from surviving to thriving in work and life.

"Each Episode of this podcast is full of valuable information and both coping strategies and inbsights into ADHD. As a mom with a grownup child with ADHD, I appreciate the practical strategies and unique perspectives, Lauren and Lindsay offer, as well their guests who offer their own expertise and experiences with ADHD. One thing I particularly appreciate about the podcast is that it approaches ADHD as something that can be managed with counseling and education rather than something that needs to be fixed - an empowering perspective that can be a game changer. Thank you!"

Our Hosts
The Wavy Brain Podcast is hosted by Lindsay Binette & Lauren Ascher. We’re two friends and ADHD Coaches on a mission to get more people talking about the different ways our brains work, all while learning to work with our own wavy brains as we navigate careers, family, and everyday life.
Lindsay Binette
Lindsay founded The Wavy Brain and is a marketing executive turned ADHD Coach and voice for neurodivergent thinkers. Before becoming an ADHD Coach, she spent 18 years rising the ranks at brands like Nike, Levi’s, Nest, and Keds. A recent, late-in-life diagnosis coupled with the experience of caring for two young kids during the global pandemic led Lindsay to rethink her career and, ultimately, her life purpose. As she worked to understand her own brain post-diagnosis, her deep dive into all things ADHD evolved into a passion for neurodiversity support, education, and advocacy.
Lindsay specializes in working with adults as part of her coaching practice. She collaborates with her clients to learn about ADHD and neurodiversity and encourages them to build their self-awareness & self-compassion around how their unique brain works to build long-term, sustainable ADHD management strategies. Lindsay advises companies of all sizes to educate on neurodiversity and weave ND into core company values for a more inclusive workplace and authentic company culture.
Lauren Ascher
My experience spans the legal, educational, and counseling sectors. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and I am a certified ADHD & Executive Function Coach by the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), one of the few fully accredited PAAC/ICF certification programs. I also hold a JD from Columbia Law School and a Master’s in Teaching from Pace University.
I spent a decade working in both private and public legal jobs. I served as a law clerk to the Honoroable Joel H. Slomsky of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, I worked as a litigation associate in both NYC and Philadelphia, and I was a Supervising Attorney for a public interest legal services agency in Philadelphia.
