See in ADHD

Did you know that there's some info doctors don't share when prescribing ADHD medication? If they did, a lot of mistakes could be lessened or, in some cases, altogether prevented.

In our discussion, René Brooks and I talk about making mistakes that can't be helped versus the ones that can, which takes us on an interesting journey into ADHD awareness, education, and medication.

Listen, as she shares what it was like when she was first diagnosed and given her ADHD medication.

RENÉ'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"You can't keep bouncing back and forth between being consistent and inconsistent and expect to get anywhere."

When René was first treated for ADHD, she had big ideas about the medication she was given, and learned the hard way about the info doctors don't share, including hers. So, what happens when you think one thing and the truth is something else? Rene has an engaging way of telling her stories, so find a comfy spot, sit back, and enjoy.

ADHD Smart

Thinking about how you think and paying attention to what you are paying attention to are just two of the tactics that ADHD Coach, Lynne Edris, and I talk about during our time together.

Lynne has been coaching for a decade now and she shares her insights into an industry, which is often misunderstood, about a condition, which has been, at times, equally as misunderstood.

The bottom line for her is that it's the most rewarding way she could spend her time. Witnessing the sense of hope that grows from acceptance and feeling heard and understood, is what fuels her passion, as she primarily works with clients from professional fields like education, medicine, and law.

LYNNE'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"Life's not about just crossing stuff off some to-do list."

How You Think

Lynne and I talk about a lot of aspects to coaching including how some people find themselves stuck and don't realize that they even can change the way they think or feel about a situation. How you think isn't as much about controlling your thoughts as they are directing them.

Listen in, as she shares her experience of transitioning from successful business woman to a stay-at-home mom and what were some of the challenges she overcame. After talking with Lynne, I feel like she and I share a lot of the same perspectives on challenges that ADHD can bring to how you think. I bet you walk away with food for thought!
