  • 81 // How are ADHD Brains Different? With Dr. Garth Stewart

    Host Kelsey Spronk speaks with Dr. Garth Stewart about his personal ADHD journey and the neuroscience behind the condition.

    Dr. Stewart explains how ADHD brains show excessive slow-wave activity, why outward hyperactivity often reflects internal under-arousal, and how stimulant medication and neurofeedback can change brainwave patterns.

    The episode offers practical advice for parents and adults—activity-based supports, fidget tools, classroom strategies, and guidance on when to seek diagnosis and treatment—plus clear links between attention, memory, and everyday behavior.

      5. 79 // Why Don't I Feel Loved or Accepted with ADHD?

        Have you ever asked the question... why does no one love or accept me?

        It is a heart breaking one, and one you aren't alone in asking.

        Most of the time we assume the fault is someone else's.

        But, what if there's something that we are doing that causes us to not feel loved or accepted? Listen to today's episode to find out the real reason why you might be struggling with this.

          Want to feel confident in who you are? 1-on-1 coaching can help! Check out my website, www.adhdwithconfidence.com, to book a free 15-minute intake coaching call.

          *My current coaching rates are quite low due to the fact that I am still completing the rest of my coaching training.

          In today's episode, we talk about three potential mistakes you are making when you are building confidence with ADHD.

          1. Thinking it has to be perfect.

          2. Thinking it has to be all the time.

          3. Starting outward, instead of inward.

          5. 77 // Learn From Your Mistakes with a Growth Mindset in ADHD

            Making mistakes doesn't mean you've failed. And it definitely doesn't make you a failure.

            One of the best ways for us to learn and grow is through our mistakes or setbacks. As long as we are willing to embrace a growth mindset.

              Ending your day feeling like you've wasted away your time feels awful.

              There's the guilt, the shame, the negative self-talk... and still a list of things you need to do that you didn't even start on.

              And why?

              Partly because of a lack of boundaries. 

              In today's episode, we talk about how to set boundaries and how they will help you be more productive and waste less time. Let's get started!

              5. 75 // Avoid Regret by Living Intentionally with ADHD

                One of my biggest fears is to look back and regret the way I lived my life... regret the things I did or didn't say, the things I was too afraid to pursue.

                I don't want this, for me or for you!

                That's why it's so important to live intentionally with ADHD. Otherwise, we can get caught up with the "shiny new object" and get off course of who we actually want to become.

                Join me in today's episode to discover how you can pave your path forward to living intentionally with ADHD.

                • our "window of tolerance"
                • survival vs. transformational thinking 
                • empathy - too much or too little, and what to do about it, and 
                • how to resolve family conflicts when we mess up (which is inevitable, because we all mess up!)
                • Join us in today's episode to feel heard and understood in your journey with ADHD that runs in families. I hope you enjoy it!
