Dopamine is not t just a feel-good neurotransmitter; dopamine is a key player in regulating our mood, motivation, and ability to focus. Unfortunately, for individuals with ADHD, dopamine regulation can be a tricky issue leading to symptoms like impulsivity and trouble focusing.

In this episode, we explore how lifestyle can play a major role in dopamine production. I discuss the concept of "laddering" and how this can help shift from negative to positive thoughts. Discover the surprising ways you can boost your dopamine levels, from food and exercise to regulating sleep and reducing stress.

Learn how applying these tools could be a game-changer for your ADHD journey!

If you've ever wondered why simple tasks seem so daunting, this episode unravels why. Listen in as I discuss 8 functional skills and why they are essential for managing our lives, especially for adults with ADHD.

I'll unpack what these skills are, how they're processed in our brains, and the impact they have on our everyday lives.

From impulse control to emotional regulation and goal-directed persistence, we break down the often overwhelming list of 47 executive function skills into a more digestible, simplified list of 8 core skills.

We'll also discuss strategies to enhance these skills and how coaching can be a valuable tool in this process.

Have you ever felt like you're not trying hard enough, or that you're just plain lazy? Ever found yourself struggling with seemingly simple tasks? You're not alone.

In this first episode of Learn to Thrive with ADHD, I share my personal experiences with these inner battles, as well as the experiences of countless adults I've coached who echo these sentiments.

We tackle the heart-wrenching impact of self-doubt, and how it can chip away at our self-esteem and deter us from reaching out for the help we need.

Providing a candid snapshot of day-to-day challenges faced by individuals with ADHD, we venture from basic tasks such as getting dressed to more complex ones like communicating with loved ones.

If you're contemplating an ADHD diagnosis, we walk you through the process, advising who to approach and what to anticipate. Remember, seeking help isn't a weakness. It's a courageous first step toward understanding and managing your symptoms.

I'm thrilled to share The Learn to Thrive with ADHD Podcast! Listen in each week, with me, ADHD coach, Mande John, where I'll be discussing the impact coaching made on my own ADHD symptoms and how I knew I wanted to help others have the same experience. Every person with ADHD I've shared this with nods in agreement, knowing that if they could just do the things they said they would, life would be so much easier. 

In this podcast, we'll explore a variety of topics, and the executive function skills that are often lacking in those with ADHD, such as impulse control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and more. 

Along with working on these skills, I also teach you how to manage your mind and navigate the discomfort that comes with change. You'll hear from me each week as I share tools and coaching concepts, like having your own ADHD coach in your pocket!
