Without the skills to focus, prioritize and make effective decisions, you are most likely going to be stressed and spinning your wheels a lot, seeing very little results at the end of each day. And like you, I know how awful that feels, and am grateful to have developed the skills I needed to do these things more easily, and teach them to others so they are less stressed too. I trust the information in this episode will give you a start at developing these critically important skills and lessen your stressors, especially during this holiday season when there is so much more to focus on, prioritize and of course, make decisions on.
In this episode Dr B talks about:
Developing your Executive Function Skills and shifting your limiting beliefs is the fastest and most effective way to overcome ADHD limitations, find focus, gain confidence, and newfound freedom in your life!
My mission is to put an end to the worldwide needless suffering of adults with ADHD and those with under-developed Executive Function Skills - whether from ADHD, chronic depression or anxiety, trauma, addictions, or chronic illnesses. And, you don't need a formal diagnosis to know you need help developing these executive function skills in order to greatly reduce your suffering.

Without the skills to plan, schedule and follow through there is a lot that you won't be able to do very efficiently. I trust the information in this episode will give you a start at developing these critically important skills and lessen your stressors, especially during this holiday season.
One of my goals with this episode is for you to realize that you didn't have this level of skills years ago, and if you did, you'd have had more options. And since that's the truth, let's set blame aside, and focus on getting you the skills you can start developing today, that will make a significant difference in the quality of your life.

ADHD that is diagnosed in adulthood doesn't travel alone; rather it often comes with "companion challenges" such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and even illnesses. Sometimes these "companion challenges" are there as a result of this later in life diagnosis and sometimes not.

I made sure to include fun in this episode because I learned long ago that I needed to create games out of pretty much everything I do so that it's fun and I look forward to it. Whether it's: beat the clock or making a movie out of a project or taking on the role of someone who does a task really well or dressing up in something fun… I think of ways to make it fun for myself so there's no procrastination or resistance. I'd love for you to feel the same way about getting yourselves organized – the fun way.

As I've said before, there are many reasons why these skills get derailed in their development. It's not your fault that your skills aren't as fully developed "yet" as you need them to be, and you are responsible for developing them now, if you want your life to work better. You can have skills but no strategies or strategies but no skills and falter either way; you need them both. And even though you learn them separately, they are all inter-related.

Hey ADDers! We're going to start off a little different today and look at a correlation I've been thinking about for some time.
The title of today's episode comes from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, and pertains to more than just those in recovery from alcoholism. And even if you don't favor AA for whatever reasons, please do listen for the deeper logic and meanings that I want to share with you today in this introductory part of today's episode.
A seemingly hopeless state of mind and body is reaching epidemic proportions as it relates to depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, ADHD and addictions (both behavioral and substance). And underlying these conditions, I am seeing the compromised development of executive function skills and strategies, which are the essential skills we all need to thrive as adults in today's world. If you can't plan, organize, prioritize, get started and keep going until the end, or regulate states of overwhelm and analysis paralysis so you can make a solid decision, it's going to cost you.

Hey ADDers! Do you feel as if you're on a runaway train? Is valuable time – and your life – passing you by in the blink of an eye? Do you feel lost or overwhelmed because you're not getting the important things done in your life?
I was once there, too. I spent thousands of dollars on programs, therapists and books that promised to show me the way out of the chaos in spite of my ADHD brain. But they didn't. Instead, they left me feeling angry and more desperate than before. Perhaps this is your story too.
Living Beyond ADHD, a podcast hosted and produced by Dr B, explores why so many adults with ADHD or Executive Function challenges never get past their challenges and live beyond them. That's what Dr B's work in the world is really about, and she so wants that for you, if you want that too. You've heard her say many times that you are more than your ADHD; that you are a precious "human being" – even if the "human doing" part of you needs some work and tools. By identifying the root cause issues, and addressing them, whether that means learning skills, strategies or facing and resolving long-standing problems, you can look to a future where you too are Living Beyond ADHD.

Hey ADDers! Foresight is the secret ingredient to success, because without foresight you cannot prepare for the future. With our fast-paced lives, it is becoming harder and harder to establish foresight because our world is changing faster than ever before. Are you someone who has no idea of what sort of world you should prepare for? And if that is you, have you given up and decided that you can't know or do anything about your future? That you will just have to deal with the cards that get dealt to you over time? That's you being "reactive" rather than "responsive" to the circumstances of your life.

Hey ADDers! Do you have trouble "shifting" from your current task to the next task? Or maybe you have the opposite problem – where you are shifting way too quickly from thing to thing and leaving a trail of unfinished tasks in your wake. Even though most of the executive function assessments typically look at the behavioral stuff, like moving with ease from one situation, activity or aspect of a problem to another as the circumstances require, to me there is so much more to understanding Shifting than just the behavioral manifestations. What about Shifting your thoughts and feelings? By that I mean, do your thoughts and feelings seem to get stuck and just keep presenting you with the same stuff over and over again? Do you want to think or feel differently yet can't seem to shift?

Hey ADDers! If you're married, living together, dating, have close friends or it's you and you…these are all different forms of relationships that you are in. And where there are relationships, there are potential challenges and delightful times to be shared.
I look at relationships as kind of a progression. First, there is the relationship you have with yourself. Then there is the relationship you have with one other person, whether that's a friendship or coupleship or partnership in business. From there, your coupleship or partnership could expand into a family or expansion of a business. Point is, in my mind it always starts with you.
