See in ADHD

"No, is a complete sentence," according to this fierce woman who values empowering women through her niceness while teaching them to say NO!

I'm so excited for you to meet her and hear her for yourself. She's a gifted storyteller and I'm thrilled she's sharing what she's learned about a myriad of subjects from embracing fear to how to get motivated.

Oh, and yes, we touch on her ADHD.

Be sure and check out her blog, A Teacher Called Life at ckinlaw87.blogspot.com

CANDACE'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“I'm gonna take my niceness and I'm gonna touch the world with it.”

You know what Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, and Napoleon Hill all have in common? They inspired Candace Kinlaw to begin affecting positive change by empowering women. I happened to catch her first Periscope session on Twitter and immediately asked her to join me here on the show.

She's out to make a difference but she's also figuring out how as she goes along.

Her latest venture is in creating a home business that helps support her family.

If you've experienced some struggles in your relationships due to ADHD symptoms, you aren't alone. Gina Pera has become somewhat of an Accidental ADHD Expert, after years of research and investigation into how to help her husband with ADHD and their marriage.

She discovered how to ride the ADHD coaster without getting whiplash and has devoted her time and energy to helping others who are on the same ride. You can read her story in detail on her blog site, ADHD Roller Coaster with Gina Pera.

Gina shines a light on the facts about ADHD as well as false or misleading information.

In this episode, she and I talk about some of the problems that people face when they try and figure things out on their own. With still many health care professionals and institutions who haven't been properly educated, finding someone with whom to entrust your care can seem daunting.

Self-advocacy is still the recommended course of action as you gather information that will help you with your specific struggles.

GINA'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“Don't look for global help for ADHD...figure out what are your challenges."

Gina runs several public support groups you can check out:

Two are face-to-face groups in Silicon Valley and one online group:

1. Palo Alto: A discussion group for adults with ADHD (sign up to be notified of meetings)

2. Palo Alto: A discussion group for partners of adults with ADHD (parents and siblings of these adults are welcome, too) (sign up to be notified of meetings)

3. Internationally: An online support group for the partners of adults with ADHD

This is a Yahoogroups format, based on e-mail exchange within the group. It is not a chat room. In other words, it conforms to your schedule; send and e-mail and go about your business. Come back and read responses.

Gina has also written two books:

Is it You, Me or Adult ADD?

Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy: Clinical Interventions

Have you noticed most blogs are just lists, like 3 Ways to Do This and 5 More Ways to Do That? This is an episode about a different sort of blog but if you scroll down I’ve listed 4 techniques my guest today uses to calm himself down when he gets angry. Listen in as he shares with us how to tune in to your own ADHD above (almost) all else.

Andrew Wilcox began blogging as a way to earn a little money on the side of his regular job, after all, he was pretty good at writing. Then he discovered that blogging is one thing and monetizing it is a whole other. So, he decided to just do it for himself and to this day has no advertisements or banner ads on his site.

I encourage you to check it out, I’ve been following him for about a year: Eat. Live. Dream. ADD. Thoughts From Inside My Skull.

ANDREW'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“I’m an expert on my ADHD. No one knows my ADHD better than I do.”

Tune In to Your Own ADHD

According to Andrew, blogging has enabled him to get outside of himself. It’s offered him a sort of third party perspective, when at times, he’s gone back to edit or repost an older entry. He shares with us what he’s learned looking at his thoughts more objectively, about himself and about his ADHD.

As he explains it, by journaling or blogging, just getting your thoughts on paper, helps you tune in to your own ADHD and that is extremely helpful.

As a bonus, here are 4 techniques that Andrew uses to help him calm down when angry:

1) Breathe

2) Count to 10

3) Punch a pillow

4) Talk calmly
