Uncluttered Office for ADHD Podcast

My guest, Kathy Casa is the expert on mindfulness practice. We start which strategies can help rewire the brain to alleviate some of the behaviors that can be concurrent with ADHD and chronic stress. She offers simple and accessible strategies to help that you can do right at home. Even a video on YouTube for a short morning meditation can set your day up for success.

Kathy explains how exercise helps the endorphins in brain but with yoga you’re incorporating your breath. Even 20 minutes can move you from a stress response to a rest response. And the five layers of human beings from the yoga perspective and how we need to heal on every part of our being.

We discuss the tools outside of medication, including somatic transcendence, that can help you reset and heal.

Our guest Ari Tuckman’s expertise is ADHD from a psychological perspective. We focus on his story first and how ADHD knowledge is better today than it was when I was growing up in the dark ages. LOL! Ari calls ADHD a disorder of actualizing intentions. 

We then discuss the diagnostic process and how it’s often two for one. And we delve into medications, especially the myths around stimulants. You’ll enjoy how Ari pulls no punches while providing a ton of timely information.

We morph into the other essential structures we need to manage our ADHD. Sleep sets the foundation for a “productive, meaningful, satisfying day”. We also touch on my two favorites - exercise and routines. Tune in to hear how you can start and then keep your good habits going. Hint - it’s not just willpower.

Note: “ADHD kids hear about 20,000 negative messages by the age of 10.” -William Dodson

Catherine Avery was sick last week and unable to record a new podcast episode.

Because we’re running a special series this month called March MADHDness, Catherine selected this episode which previously aired on June 23, 2021 (Episode 96).

She talks about shifting your language from saying “have to” to “get to” and why this changes everything. She describes how she learned this lesson from cancer and shares how she managed her life at a time when life became unmanageable. And how there were many opportunities for deep gratitude.

She also explains what her official ADHD combined type diagnosis looked and felt like.

Finally, tune in as she explains the Productivity Power Hour and the Pomodoro Method and why it works so well for her clients. Accountability is a big part of it.

She ends with an offer to check out her accountability group:
