“We've got to learn how we can not only coexist but work together so that we're building a global community of people who are not ashamed and shy away from differences. But who relish in them, who ask questions when they don't understand.”

It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe, dives deep into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully.

KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
ADHD is not a joke or a superpower.
Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track.
Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic.
Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough.
Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.”
Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

Former Wall Street analyst and founder of Empify, Ashley M. Fox, describes how simply putting yourself in certain spaces can create the opportunity to expand your life. You must create an abundant mindset in order to attract abundance. We attract who we are and not what we want; therefore, training your mind to believe you are worthy of things is essential to accomplishing your goals. Ashley dives into the alignment of priorities in order to create generational wealth and invest in your future. Those that are wealthy subscribe to the mentality that they are deserving of wealth. You must feel like you are worthy of the lifestyle that you desire to bring it to fruition.

Are you confused and frustrated out here in these dating streets? With the rise of social media and its impact on who, where and how we date, it’s easy to get caught up in how love should look rather than what it actually is.

We're joined by psychotherapist, media personality, award-winning speaker and 5 time best-selling author, the “King of Breakthroughs”, Jack A. Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it. From the three types of men women should NEVER date to the places where single women should NEVER live and what’s keeping you loveless, we are getting the goods straight from the “horse’s mouth.” Tap into this week’s episode and don’t say we never gave y’all nothing!

A lot of us like to point the finger and say that everybody else is the problem, but we very rarely talk about when we're toxic and when we're the villain in someone else's story. So how can we better paint the whole picture, have those uncomfortable conversations, and show up in a way that does not hurt the ones we love?
Tune in as Alechia and Dani share their own less than favorable traits and how to work through villain to victim to powerhouse who shows up in the world with truly good intentions.

- How to exercise the apology muscle
- When did we forget grace and compassion?

“Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?”
