Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast – A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. Our 10 Year Anniversary! This podcast is an audio companion to the book “The Drummer and the Great Mountain – A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD.”

If you can believe it, our little podcast is celebrating it’s 10 Year Anniversary! It’s been a truly remarkable journey connecting with all of you. The community that grew up around this podcast spans the globe.

Today’s episode maps out where we’ve come from and shares a little bit about what’s coming next.

We recently reviewed our statistics and it’s quite unbelievable — our podcast has over 40,000 subscribers and has been downloaded well over 1.7 million times! Wow!

From the book’s inception, to starting the podcast with Bahman in 2015, it all began very organically and was truly a homegrown effort. Our community, however, has been the greatest gift in this entire endeavor.

The goal was to provide an alternative approach to looking at adult ADHD — not as a disorder, but as a very specific neurological type.

To celebrate, we have some truly extraordinary interviews coming up. We’ll be speaking with members of our community who have achieved remarkable results by integrating the topics we discuss on the podcast. These are people from around the world — artists, teachers, emergency responders, ADHD coaches, and more — who have powerful stories to share.

We hope you enjoy this podcast episode, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with you over the next few months.

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast – A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. Navigating Uncertainty as a Neurodivergent Person. This podcast is an audio companion to the book “The Drummer and the Great Mountain – A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD.”

Dealing with uncertainty can be immensely triggering — inducing anxiety, challenges with focus, and ultimately distracting us from what actually needs to get done.

Uncertainty can manifest as disturbing world events, family health issues, financial fears, work setbacks… The list goes on and on.

And, our brain does not like uncertainty.

In this episode we’ll explore practical techniques for navigating uncertainty — getting ourselves out of the spin of tunnel vision, into greater emotional regulation, perhaps even finding real well-being in the face of external chaos.

We may not be able to change the external in the moment, but we can fortify our nervous system to be more calm, even in the midst of uncertain outcomes.

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast – A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. How to Feel Safe. This podcast is an audio companion to the book “The Drummer and the Great Mountain – A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD.”

No matter who you are, we all have a very deep and profound desire to feel safe, peaceful, and secure.

In this episode, we’ll discuss how to hack your brain into feeling safe. The anxiety and fear mechanism is ancient, and has kept the human race alive so we could be here in this moment. However, this primal part of our brain, when subjected to the modern world, often detects physical threats where there aren’t any, leading to a constant and low level feeling of anxiety. This can reduce our mental capacity and lead us into distraction, often shrinking our world and masking those positive opportunities that are available to us.

Specifically, we’ll discuss:
