See in ADHD

Jess Larsen joins me today to talk about how he’s found success by doubling down on his strengths rather focusing on improving his weaknesses.

Addicted to snowboarding, this devoted dad of 4, loves Mexican food and listening to audiobooks.

He’s also got his hand in a million different projects including Child Rescue, CEO coaching, leadership training, a RE investment fund, and the Ideation Collective (icollective.co) along with its podcast, Innovation & Leadership.

Please do go check it out and subscribe to his newsletter. As he explains, Ideation Collective is a liquid network of good ideas.

JESS' AWESOME QUOTE:

“ADHD isn’t necessarily a disorder. If harnessed properly, I feel it’s an advantage, for me at least.”

Doubling Down

Jess advices doubling down on your natural talents. It’s how he went from being an art school dropout to a successful entrepreneur in mergers and acquisitions.

He explains how energy and passion drive your activities.

An avid audiobook listener, Jess has listened to about 2 audiobooks a week for the last 15 years. Check out seeinadhd.com for links to the ones he references in the show. (I do not make any money from their purchase, these are not affiliate links)

Meet Erin Stark. In this episode, she shares with us her story of self-discovery. You see, today, her reality is quite good, but it wasn’t always this way. When I met her, she was in quite a different and darker place.

But, she began to learn about mental health including ADHD, trauma, and attachment disorders.

Little by little, she eventually learned about what makes her tick. She read a lot. And now, she has a lot of information she’d love to share with you.

Feel free to reach out to her on Twitter or Instagram.

ERIN'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“We live our lives differently and that doesn’t mean we’re wrong.”

Self-Discovery

For Erin, her journey of self-discovery began online. She reached out to the world to find others like her.

She wanted community support. And within minutes, I read her post and invited her to join my closed Facebook Group, See in ADHD. You, too, are invited to join. It’s a closed group in order to maintain privacy.

An avid reader, Erin has educated herself on psychology and neuroscience. (She and I both love Carl Jung.) Listen, as she describes her “quantum leaps."

And, she’s happy to try and help anyone who reaches out with a question. She is so resourceful, I’m certain if she doesn’t know the answer she will know how to find it out!

The game-changer: sports. My guest today: Tom Morgan. Listen in, as he shares insights on life with ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, and Tourette Syndrome.

Tom begins with stories of his childhood, recounting how his family and school life was pretty rough. Due to the fact that no one understood him, they labeled him a naughty boy. But, he couldn’t help behaving the way he did.

Finally, at 15, he was diagnosed with Tourette’s and then at 21, with ADHD and Asperger’s.

Diagnosis of these conditions set Tom on a whole new journey into self-awareness and self-acceptance. Although, as he tells it, at first he didn’t want to accept any of it and kept everything to himself.

Finally, about a year ago, he decided to go public and share his struggles with his friends and the whole world. He also met Mark Williams and began public speaking and making television appearances, raising much needed awareness into mental health in the UK.

His advice: “Take as much help as you can, it will lift a lot of weight off your shoulders.”

TOM'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“Be yourself and try to get on with your life as best you can and be as happy as you can.”

The Game-changer: Sports

Tom describes how for him, because of his boundless energy, the game-changer was sports. He says sports can change your life and gives credit because of the unity it brings people.

He loves all things about rugby even though he’s had 30 operations due to injuries.

His passion is obvious as he tells me how he loves putting his all into the game; however, he also admits at one point when he was younger, it was a bit of a problem trying to maintain that same intensity off the field.

He’s finally happy just being who he is. He’s also happy to help spread the message to others, that whether it’s sports or art or music, just do what you love and love yourself.

If you’re single, you might could come up with more than 5 dating challenges. Jeremy Michael, a sexy single firefighter, joins me today to talk about the 5 top ones he struggles with most (listed below) as well as promote a new support group he’s created on Facebook, ADHD Singles.

Listen, as he explains his intentions for the group…IT IS NOT A DATING SITE!

He’s looking for others to share the trials and tribulations of dating with ADHD.

Being single is not exactly what Jeremy planned on, however, as he sees it, he’s rocking’ it now. At 34, he’s finally embracing his ADHD in a way he just couldn’t when he was younger.

Diagnosed as an adult. Jeremy details for us what it was like to get a diagnosis that made him look back on his life with so much more clarity. He says the reason his previous relationships didn’t work out were because of him…and more specifically, his ADHD.

But, he’s older and wiser now…and is still just as much fun as he ever was.

JEREMY'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“It’s a lifelong thing so you might as well embrace it and do something awesome with it.”

5 Dating Challenges

Dating can be challenging for anyone; however, when you have ADHD, there are a few things that can make it more difficult. Jeremy explains how some things are just harder to do because of the way he’s wired. It’s not that these things cannot happen. It’s that it takes a lot of mental energy to make them happen.

5 dating challenges when you’re single with ADHD:

1) Being on time.

2) Focusing on the other person.

3) Remembering what they are saying.

4) Making small talk.

5) Figuring out when you’re going to tell them about your ADHD.

In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about each one and how it can negatively impact a good time. We also talk about the enchanting honeymoon stage of relationships, and how when that hyperfocus on the other person wears off, if not prepared, can do some heavy damage to any relationship.
