See in ADHD

Have you found your ADHD advantage? Peter Shankman has and is doing all he can to get the word out. Check out his blog/podcast, Faster Than Normal, which features ADHD success stories such as his. Along with tips and tricks, Peter leverages his ADHD for all of its gifts, and helps you learn how to use yours as a superpower.

His focus is on working at being better and always helping others improve their personal and professional lives. I like his Twitter bio, I think it describes how successful and fascinating he is:

"Best-selling #CustServ author/futurist, keynote speaker, angel investor, marketer, @NASA advisor, HARO Founder. Ironman. Skydiver. Dad."

PETER'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“Be who you are, because that's what you're best at!”

ADHD Advantage

Taken from Faster Than Normal most recent blog post:

"But you know what came out of those years of hell? Superpowers. In addition to typing well over 100 words a minute as an adult, there was one huge benefit that I didn’t know was being planted in my young brain at the time: I was learning to not only accept being different, but to use it to my advantage, for the rest of my life. I can attribute the majority of my success, both personal and professional, to the fact that I’ve never been 'normal'."

I urge you to check out all of Peter's good works including ShankMinds: Breakthrough Mastermind group. He's turned his ADHD to his advantage and can help you too.

Laura Stoker is no stranger to people who think ADHD isn't real. You see, she used to be one of those people. But then she discovered differently and began sharing her story in hopes that others will know it is real and they're not alone.

She's written a book, blogs, and shares on Facebook, all under the same name: Our ADHD Story. It's been through sharing her story, and others', that she's spreading awareness and education about ADHD.

LAURA'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"You gotta figure out what kind of mom you are and go be okay with that."

"ADHD Isn't Real"

Laura remembers a time when she thought, "ADHD isn't real." But after watching her son's struggle, for years, she decided it was time to see if maybe there was something else going on that she had no control over.

After all, she was a devoted and loving mother, but something wasn't clicking for her and her son.

It was through the process of her son's diagnosis that she learned what ADHD was and how she had been living with it her entire life. That understanding helped her whole family and changed their lives.

Mother's Day guilt plagues many ADHD moms who already question if they are good enough. When reality is sometimes the laundry isn't done and sometimes dinner is bologna sandwiches, how do we embrace this day of celebrating our Momminess?

ADHD and Ability Coach, Ril Giles, is SuperADDmom. Listen as she describes her experiences helping us answer this question.

We laugh, we cry, no...not really...well, we do laugh...a lot...and talk about how no mom is alone. The path of motherhood can be a challenge for any woman. When you have ADHD that path can seem, in some ways, more challenging AND in other ways more fun!

RIL'S AWESOME QUOTE:

Ril describes it as being the mom who is scrambling to wash the soccer outfit 20 minutes before your child has to be wearing it on the soccer field or the mom who is tossing together weird ingredients and calling it spaghetti because you forgot some key ingredient at the grocery store because you didn't use a shopping list.

The madcap mania she describes is a part of being a mother with ADHD. But so is being the fun parent who can get on the floor and play with her kids...and a lot of other reasons that we talk about, so tune in!

This Mother's Day give yourself break and realize how wonderful you are, that's what we're planning.
