In today's podcast I had the pleasure to speak with the brilliant transformational coach, Siobhan Friel, on how the mind really works (what they didn't teach us), and why we often forget that we are making it all up.

ADHD is a paradox of opposite abilities and behaviors that resonate at more intense levels than in those who do not have ADHD. Paradox is the coexistence of seemingly contradictory qualities or phases. One major paradox in a person with an ADHD neurotype is the inability to focus due to periphery noise. Periphery noise can interfere with the ability to carry on a conversation, get important work done, or follow direction in a person with ADHD.  This can strain relationships (work and interpersonal) and lead to us feeling constantly exhausted and misunderstood by our frustrated peers. Peripheral noise is kryptonite to a person with ADHD. Sniffles and coughs are like bird calls in an aviary. Sniffles evolve into snuffles in my ADHD brain like blows in a steel foundry. To make matters worse the noise can sometimes be louder and more disruptive than your neighbor's car alarm going off in the middle of the night. It's not only disruptive it can be painful to a person with ADHD. Understanding how the speedy ADHD mind works is not only helpful to a person with ADHD but to our co-workers and the people (who care about us) to practice patience, compassion and make accommodations when the noise in our head is disruptive.

Scott takes us on a colorful journey from growing up as a young kid inside the mafia to recreating himself over and over again until he found real success and contentment not just financially but in his heart, mind, and soul.

In this episode I share the microphone with my very first guest, my dear friend and fellow podcaster Bobby Couto of the Bobby Couto Show and the Disgruntled American Podcast. It's a feel good and engaging conversation between two friends on two different coasts. We share our personal experiences on mental health and how we both "experience" a rapidly changing world through the lens of generation x. 

In today's episode I had the unique opportunity to speak with Matt Roberts, aka, "The Psychological Performance Coach," on how to experience more of what every human being wants more of (clarity of mind and wellbeing) and why we often (innocently) look in the wrong place for it. 

In this podcast we explore the nature of labels and the behavioral conditioning that humans innocently experience when diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, OCD and other related "disorders" and how to see beyond the stigma attached to the label. 

A typical ADHD adult experiences life more intensely than neurotypicals. The ADHD nervous system wants to be engaged in something interesting and challenging. Attention is never "deficit." It's always excessive, constantly occupied with internal engagements. When people with ADHD aren't not present and in a state of flow they have many things rattling around in their minds all at once. Past, present, and future are never separate and distinct. When we see the illusory nature of this "neuro-experience" called ADHD we are better equipped to be the silent observer of the frenetic system which allows us to get less "sucked in" to it. 

Your brain loves you and wants to keep you safe. But just like your laptop computer it is useless without "YOU" at the controls. Especially when your brain glitches and spews out all sorts of error commands in the form of overwhelmed, scary thinking. Scary thinking when there is nothing in the present moment to be scared about.  So don't worry. It’s never your fault. It happens to all of us. It is the experience we call being human.  As long as you see it as 100% nonsense and temporary. As long as you see it as just anxious, sped up, overwhelmed (ego fueled) scary thinking that will settle on it's own very soon.  As long as you see the glitch in the operating system the more we see the glitch as normal (and very human) the less we suffer. The less we suffer the quieter we get. The quieter we get the more time we spend in a very magical space called the present moment.
