See in ADHD

No matter how many people you talk to, there's always another side to ADHD to explore, because each individual is unique. Larry Goodman, as no exception, is his own man. He knows what he's good at and what he's bad at, and he thinks he's figured out why.

He and I talk about how he's made a living in the past and his plans for the future. We also talk about his past relationships and how he plans to make future ones better.

Interestingly, these two subjects converge. So, listen in and discover how.

LARRY'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"If you love somebody ... you love them for who they are and who they're not."

Another Side to ADHD

For all the reasons Larry enjoys life and his passion projects, there's also another side, which he shares with us. It's the side that makes life frustrating, makes people annoying, and makes it difficult to feel understood. Advanced ADD, as he calls it, can make life hard.

I appreciated Larry's insights into what another side to ADHD is, the difficult side. I also appreciate his willingness to be open about his feelings, which I know so many share.

Liz Lewis has a lot to offer as a mentor...she's a teacher, freelance writer, Mom, wife, has ADHD, and is busy creating a lifestyle brand for others like her!

Her message is one of positivity about being a parent, having ADHD, and shedding the stigma that she felt as a child having to go to the nurse's office every day at school in order to take her ADHD medication.

She has a Facebook Page and website by the same name, A Dose of Healthy Distraction, and is all about building up a community of like minded women who find themselves busy with work, family and getting distracted.

LIZ'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"... you don't have to be ashamed ... tell the people close to you."

Parenting & Positivity

Did you know that ADHD runs in families? So, often the parent of a child with ADHD has it themselves. What happens then? According to Liz, it's a lifestyle, a "crazy, disorganized, eccentric lifestyle." Be sure to check out her blog and sign up for her newsletter!

She promises her emails are non-annoying and infrequent, what more could you ask for?

Kanisha Howard has a level of confidence that serves her well. Even at times when she's had her doubts and fears, her motto has been, "Do it afraid."

Kanisha Howard has been hard at work as both a student teacher and musician. I caught up with her while she was on her way home from school, which is one of the few moments she gets to think and reflect before she has to be back on again either working or studying. An accomplished musician, Kanisha can play piano, clarinet, e flat contrabass clarinet, drums, and percussion including the triangle. She can also sing!

KANISHA'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"Do it afraid."

ADHD Confidence

Rather than becoming paralyzed when insecure, Kanisha has learned to let her fear drive her into action and she shares with me examples from her past, which inspire me and I bet you too!

When it comes to talking about ADHD's emotional impact, including the barriers that prevent us from initiating a task or taking a risk, there's no one better than Brendan Mahan. His educational background includes a masters in education and school counseling and he both has ADHD and coaches others with it.

Currently, he's transitioning from teaching to coaching and speaking full time and shares with me his goal of completing the requirements, this year, to join the National Speakers Association. His next gig will be soon in Reston, Va, at the ACO Conference (The ADHD Coaches Organization).

BRENDAN'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"It's not about being all or nothing, it's about being 10% better.”

Emotional Impact

Brendan gives us a sneak peek into the model he uses to help others understand the emotional impact of ADHD. It's called the Wall of Awful and there are only 4 ways to get beyond it. Listen and learn, which ones are healthy and which ones aren't and which one you should use especially with your child!
