This conversation begins with Jesse Kauffman,  a psychotherapist who specializes in ADHD, offering a brief overview of ADHD as a nuanced journey.

Host Staci Boden then shares how she began following the energy of ADHD through working with clients.

From there, Staci and Jesse explore the meaning of difference, trauma, somatic connection, hyper focus, and creative genius within the realm of ADHD in relationship with following energy. 

What emerges is powerful possibility for the many ways following energy might inspire and support people living with ADHD. 

In fact, following energy can be a resource for navigating ADHD through:

• living more intentionally 
• recognizing paradox and nuance
• facilitating embodied awareness through somatic practice
• perceiving differences as valuable if not always comfortable (ie. neurodiversity)
• transforming energetic and somatic experiences of shame, fear, trauma 
• providing structure which also supports creative exploration 
• balancing individual needs with big picture aspirations
• learning inner trust and intuition
• replacing a need to control with the ability to make healthier choices
• shifting reacting into responding to improve relationships

Rebel Therapist podcast: Follow the Energy of Your Business with Annie Schuessler featuring Staci Boden

Host and lead somatic energy teacher, Staci Boden opens today's episode with a brief reflection about the shift with the podcast into following energy. From there, she offers a quick somatic practice, introduces her guest, Miki Johnson,  and explore some deep, practical and playful benefits that come from following energy.

Miki is an ICF-certified leadership coach, a somatic energy guide, a 7Directions dance ceremony facilitator, a business founder four times over, and the mother of two amazing little boys. Through her career, ranging from journalism and marketing to employer branding and enterprise sales, and now her coaching and facilitation work, the connecting thread has been to lead with curiosity, to listen for the story under the surface, and to look for unexpected connections.

Based on her long relationship with following energy, Miki shares that following energy has led to a "whole life transformation" as a resource for:

• Navigating an overwhelmed, stuck and spinning mind 
• Learning to trust your decision making process 
• Letting go of exhausting (codependent) over-giving 
• Becoming an empowered and empowering business leader and mom
• Feeling supported by something bigger, as if you're not going it alone
• Meeting the crunch of daily mishaps with curiosity and play
• Developing the ability to navigate hard times, and the wisdom to know the difference
