In this episode -- kicking off the new season and the start of the school year, Jamie discusses the importance of kicking off the year in a way that will help your kiddo be successful from the get go.  Listen in and there may be a new resource for you to access as well!

In this episode Jamie discusses the epidemic of shame and how large a role it plays in the life of those with ADHD.  It can be a paralyzing aspect in the day to day existence of those who are diagnosed with ADHD and are not receiving proper treatment, as well as to those who are living life undiagnosed and walking around feeling like they are completely broken.  Give it a listen, and maybe you will be better equipped to help someone you love. 

In this episode Jamie discusses the concept of ADHD and Self-Worth.  Self-worth is such an important foundation of our being, it gives us identity, it gives us direction.  But when we have struggles that are different than most of our peers we begin to believe that something is "wrong" with us and all of that sense of self begins to diminish and we start to find ourselves in difficult situations more often.  Listen in and learn about how that can happen unintentionally and what we can do to help it!

In this episode, Jamie dives into the world of accessible mental health care--or lack there of as the case may be.  

She wants to do her part to help.  Tune in to find out how!

In this episode Jamie discusses everything ADHD and organization--but she goes on a bit of a tangent about why the "mainstream" solutions don't work, and how frustrating it is to find these solutions on so-called "reputable" resources.  

Take a listen and find out why!

In this Episode Jamie dives DEEP into the struggles with Time Management, and really her own difficulties with the entire messy concept.  It's one of those annoying executive functions that tends to get the better of her--but she also shares ways that she combats it as well!  

Also, she's not entirely sure why she writes these in third person since she writes the descriptions herself--hmmmm....

In this episode, Jamie digs in to working memory.  This is a big deal when it comes to ADHD--and impacts most ADHD'ers tall and small.  And is one of the areas that can create the most frustration.  But there are definitely ways to help.  

The other cool thing about his episode is that it is directly from her Executive Functioning Course, so you get a free sneak peak into what you'll be getting when you join her course!

In this episode Jamie discusses all things Impulse Control.  You know--that super visual symptom of ADHD that makes it look like kids are just bouncing off the wall? Or maybe even mean to kids because they hit and push ? Or simply struggle just staying seated when they need to.  Take a listen, and learn all about it!

In this episode Jamie discusses the basics of Executive Functioning--or the Brain Bosses, as she likes to call it--as it relates to the ADHD Diagnosis.  This is a super critical part of ADHD, and something that most definitely deserves attention.
