  • 131 | ADHD Gifts Versus Strengths
    Join us, as Cristina Favreau and I discuss the the topic of ADHD gifts versus strengths.
    We agree that moms who home school rock and that discovering what makes you awesome is the most empowering thing you can do.
    She says it's when she thinks about her unique combination of strengths is when she wants to be better at those instead of wanting to be better at things like housework.
    It's a wonderful formula fueling motivation, drive, interest, purpose...
    Cristina's Awesome Quote:
    “Quit wallowing in your weaknesses, trying to make those better...these are the things you kickass at, work on those.”
    ADHD Gifts
    Cristina explains that when she feels good, she sees her ADHD as a gift, but when her seasonal depression kick in, not so much.
    In this episode, she shares her strengths combination and gives us some resources to help you find yours.
    After taking the strengths finder test:
    1) Individualization
    2) Learner
    3) Activator
    4) Responsibility
    5) Achiever
    Cristina also describes herself as an introvert stuck in an extrovert's body.
    I think you'll enjoy listening to her stories, I know I did!

  • 128 | How We See Duality In ADHD
    Salif shares his observations about the duality of ADHD based off his own experience. He’s sees how the condition affects his relationships, as a partner, a father, a coworker, and friend. It’s not easy to explain that yes, you are finishing your PhD, and yes, you don’t notice all of the dirty dishes piled on the countertop.
    He’s definitely figuring it all out, and in our time together, he’s very open and optimistic that he can help affect positive change around the stigma surrounding ADHD, now that he’s aware he has it.

  • 127 | As Singles Struggle With ADHD
    Jeremy Michael, a single, sexy firefighter, talks about how singles struggle and the support group he's created for them (and himself) on Facebook, ADHD Singles.
    THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE!
    He's looking for others to share the trials and tribulations of being single with ADHD.
    Jeremy is doing his best to enjoy being single...and he enjoys dating...but there are some challenges that just come up when ADHD is involved.
    Diagnosed as an adult. Jeremy can now look back on previous relationships that didn't work out and see how ADHD affected them.
    Older and wiser now...he's sharing what he's gone through.
    Jeremy's Awesome Quote:
    “Where do you tell them that you have ADHD, like ... where does that come up?”
    Singles Struggle
    Being single isn't always easy but when you have ADHD, there are a few things that can make dating more difficult.
    Jeremy gives us his top 5 struggles he's dealing with in the dating arena.
    Struggles when you're single with ADHD:
    1) Time
    2) Focus
    3) Memory
    4) Social Cues
    5) Disclosure
    Listen in, Jeremy and I talk about how these five areas of challenge come up while dating.
    We also discuss the honeymoon phase of relationships, and how when that hyperfocus on the other person wears off, if not prepared, can do some heavy damage to any relationship.

  • 125 | The Credit Goes To ADHD
    Okay, so I introduce today's guest at the end of the show.
    Listen in, as Dan Galloway and I co-create my first backwards-style interview! I'll give the credit to ADHD.
    DAN'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    "Hello! Put some music on...and then I put music on and then immediately I'm into what I need to be doing."
    Dan wants folks to understand that ADHD "isn't all bad." He's a professional speaker who usually talks about topics like perseverance and career transitions, but is now ready to launch into the ADHD and neurodiversity space. He's a man on a mission.
    He says he's been this way his whole life and wants to share what living with ADHD is like. Hear for yourself as Dan's mind wanders off on tangents, as he says, that's his ADHD is action. I bet you'll agree with him that they're fun and agree with me that he's just as charming as he is engaging.

  • 124 | IEP and ADHD, It s Never Too Late
    While schools have been in session for a while now, if you are just now thinking about an IEP for ADHD, that’s okay; it’s never too late to either put one in place or tweak one for enhanced support.
    Agnes Green joins me today to talk about Individualized Educational Plans (IEP’s).
    As a guide for our conversation we reference an article from ADDitude Magazine, IEP’s and 504’s Explained.
    AGGIE'S AWESOME QUOTE:
    “I think the best way to have accommodations is to accommodate so that the child can do for themselves.”
    IEP for ADHD
    As Agnes explains, with ADHD, we need to create our executive function outside of ourselves. An IEP can help do that by requiring specific tools, systems and processes that will help the child in their unique areas of challenge.
    She also advises that working closely with your kid’s teacher is perhaps the most important thing you can do.
    Tweak It or Change It
    An IEP is not set in stone. Certain strategies may not work as well as expected, or better ideas might be
    introduced. In addition to the accommodations listed in the IEP, write into the document, “If the student begins to
    struggle, the teacher and parent will talk with each other immediately, and the IEP will be adjusted as needed in
    between IEP meetings.” ~ Chris Dendy

  • 123 | Don't Tell Someone With ADHD What to Do
    Meet the compassionate genius behind the website and podcast Generosity Philosophy and creator of George the Generous Giraffe. Kim Trumbo shares with us her interests, frustrations, and other "works in progress". She also gives us a peek into her world where understanding why she does the things she does, in the way she does them, has been an on-going process for her and her family.
    Figuring out how to more effectively communicate with your spouse, when one has ADHD and the other doesn't, requires patience and time. One example among her many engaging stories helps us see how even after being repeatedly told what to do to keep track of her keys, it wasn't until she felt a resonnance with others in the ADHD community that she was able to finally devise her own unique system ... one that, ironically, wasn't much different than that original spouse-suggested one.
    As for what we can expect from Kim next, well...one can never be entirely certain, but maybe it'll rhyme with gumbo!
