We have a very special episode today. Joining us is our elementary school teacher Jodi Lupco. She is the Head of School at the Montessori School of Westminster Maryland. We were both fortunate enough to attend this school from pre-school to middle school and we had an amazing experience. We discuss what it was like growing up in the Montessori school with ADHD and we also hear some embarrassing but fond stories from Ms. Lupco.

This week we talk about our feelings with ADHD. We dive into the intense feelings that we have when battling with our ADHD and trying to regulate our emotions. Sometimes its hard to do this, so we explore the struggles and gifts of having intense emotion. Along with intense emotion we also discuss the impact ADHD has on interpreting conversations. Rose shares a tangent time with us that explains a situation she had when she misunderstood her yoga instructor. 

This episode was very fun and interesting for us and we hope you enjoy it.

Family get together's can be awkward, especially like ADHD! But your family often understands you better than anyone else. So, this week, with special guest, Sal (Alexandra's dad), we go deep into family dynamics and how they are affected by ADHD. This episode was really fun to make so we hope you enjoy it.
