  • 172 | Procrastination in ADHD, It's Not Your Fault
    Today, I'm sharing an article I wrote about procrastination because being a symptom of ADHD means it's not your fault.
    I also share 2 tips, so be sure and listen to episode 172 on iTunes.
    Everyone struggles with putting things off every once in a while, but what activates our brains into action is directly impacted by brain chemistry.
    Understanding our executive function is key in unlocking the mystery of why someone with ADHD can so easily do some things and delay, delay, delay doing others.
    JENNIE'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “Everyone benefits by dropping the judgement altogether and just focus on how to create some forward movement.”
    Procrastination in ADHD
    ...when everything is now or not now, deadlines and target dates become abstract ideas that have no tangible meaning.
    In fact, people with ADHD live in such a permanent state of present time, they have difficulty constructing a beginning, middle, and end to their activities. This is why you will hear, “I don’t even know where to begin.”

  • 171 | The Joy Of Helping Others Who Also Live With ADHD Everyday
    Dr. Joy Prescesky shares with us the joy of helping others who also live with ADHD everyday, just like her.
    She left a successful career as a vet to stay at home with her kids, affording her the opportunity to go back to school and become an ADHD coach.
    You see, one of the benefits of her job is that she works over the phone from home.
    Working as an ADHD and executive function coach in Canada, you can contact her through http://www.adhdinterrupted.com
    JOY'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “Once you have a diagnosis, educate yourself and then own your ADHD.”
    ADHD Everyday
    Dr. Joy brings to the table the fact that she lives with ADHD everyday...along with her kids.
    She knows first-hand there is no cookie cutter approach to treating and managing your ADHD.
    As a knowledgable and resourceful coach, she recommends checking out the following:
    1) mindfulness
    2) exercise
    3) medication
    4) nutrition

  • 170 | Just Be You
    I'm stressing the message this week to just be you. Just be yourself.
    Often and especially when I'm working with clients who are looking for answers outside of themselves, I'm encouraging them, over and over, to look inside.
    The way you are, the way you process information, your beliefs, your values, your experiences...all shape who you are.
    You are awesome...flaws and all...so, you are flawsome!
    Join me in my Reach Furthur group and learn to shine from within. http://seeinadhd.leadpages.co/rfcoupon/

  • 169 | Finding Open Road For Your ADHD Race Car Brain - Throwback Thursday
    Today, my guest and I discuss how finding open road for your ADHD race car brain is key to success.
    Geoff is a Hollywood actor and previous guest. Check out his thoughts on ADHD.
    Tapping into his innate creativity, he contributes to Medium (see link below).
    He has quite the talent…check out the first one he wrote musing about our President-Elect.
    GEOFF'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “Find your open road. Times Square, as a race car, doesn’t always work.”
    ADHD Race Car Brain
    Using the analogy of the ADHD brain as a race car isn’t new. The way in which Geoff Pilkington describes it being treated as one is.
    Dr. Ned Hallowell made famous the analogy of the ADHD brain being like having a Ferrari engine with bicycle brakes.
    Listen as Geoff takes a slightly different spin on it.
    Feel free to contact him @ [email protected]

  • 168 | ADHD Frameworks For Entrepreneurial Visionaries
    Marina Darlow joins me today to talk about how she creates ADHD frameworks for entrepreneurial visionaries.
    It's her job to create systems and structures for creatives who maybe don't find creating these things as fun and interesting as she does.
    Her goal is to help entrepreneurs be able to use their time more effectively and enjoyably.
    MARINA'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    "People with ADHD, these are the people that have the potential to truly change the world."
    ADHD frameworks is a term we're using to describe the systems and structures that need to be in place to help entrepreneurs thrive in their business.
    Such as:
    Business plans
    Budgets
    Schedules
    Time manageGuides
    Templates

  • 167 | Have You Ever Wondered If What You're Doing Is An ADHD Thing?
    Since The ADD Couple podcast is all about insights, we figured let's explore a subject from an anecdotal position.
    Have you ever found yourself wondering if what you do is due to ADHD or is it for some other reason?

  • 166 | The ADHD Brain's Design Supports Specialization
    My guest today shares a lot with us, including the theory that the ADHD brain’s design supports specialization.
    Gone are the days when everyone needs to be a jack-of-all-trades in order to survive. According to Matthew Goetz, it stands to reason that our brains are evolving in a way that suites the demands of modern day, meaning that the pay off is bigger to an individual who specializes in one particular area versus doing okay in many areas.
    You see, the ADHD brain has a unique design in how it produces and uses neurotransmitters like dopamine. So, what good is an under-aroused prefrontal cortex in the big scheme of things? Well, it’s great at honing in on only what it deems as interesting in order to engage, manufacture dopamine, and hence, use it most efficiently.
    MATT'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “The more we can get people to work with the brain they have, the more we can get people to actively use their superpower and really be great at what they can be great at.”
    Matt’s challenges include stuttering, ADHD, and Asperger’s Syndrome.
    The way his ADHD brain’s design helps him is that he tunes in to helping folks who struggle with ADHD and/or addictions.
    His advice for living happiest with ADHD is to, “take care of your star player.”
    1) put your needs first
    2) put your boundaries first
    3) put your self-care first
    “When you have done self-care for yourself and respected your own boundaries and set up your world in a place where you can thrive…THAT is when you start to really be able to give to people in a beautiful non-resentful healthy way and it really makes the world better.”
    He works as a counselor in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. You can find him at ADHD Interrupted.

  • 157 | ADHD and OT - How Occupational Therapy Can Help
    Welcome to day 25 of ADHD Awareness Month 2016!
    Stephanie joins me today to share a resource for children and adults with ADHD.
    It's Occupational Therapy.
    An Occupational Therapist (OT) helps with main life activities and, in particular, can provide a thorough activity analysis from which solutions to an individual's struggles can be devised.
    STEPHANIE'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    "Even if they continue to have problems with attention and ADHD they can learn better self control and more organizational strategies."
    OT's consider environmental modifications and prep techniques that focus on function and self-advocacy.
    It's all about supporting the person to do for themselves.

  • 164 | The Shameful Secret Of A Slob
    What could be the shameful secret of a slob?
    Ask my guest today, Dana K White, creator of the successful blog, A Slob Comes Clean | Reality Based Cleaning & Organizing.
    She’s also author of a new book, How to Manage Your Home Without Loosing Your Mind.
    As a result of using a pen name during years of anonymity, many know her as Nony, short for Anonymous.
    Thankfully, she’s come out as well as come clean and is letting the world in on her shameful secret.
    DANA'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “When I get into something I throw myself in 1000% and let everything else fall to the wayside.”
    Shameful Secret
    Listen in, as Dana shares the origins of her blog, A Slob Comes Clean.
    Living with this shameful secret was preventing her from adding her real name to her writing.
    After all, who wants to listen to someone write about cleaning and organizing when they are having THAT much trouble doing either?
    Well, it seems like LOTS of people, probably many with ADHD!
    And, what does Dana want to say to others like her?
    “It’s a very isolating secret you can keep hidden if you just don’t let anyone into your house,” or you can do something about it and maybe have your shameful secret end up creating success for you too.
