    I've got another solo show for you this week and as always you're going to need to strap in for the ride!

    First: I'll explain the concept of living in survival mode and help you to work your way out of the dumpster fire that is your ADHD life.

    Then, I answer YOUR questions! We discuss how to transition smoothly between tasks and how to advocate for yourself.

  • 286 How Adults With ADHD Can Achieve Long-term Goals

    286 How Adults With ADHD Can Achieve Long-term Goals
    Oct 22 2024

    I've got a solo show for you today and you know what that means - buckle up because it's a rollercoaster of ADHD madness!

    In this episode, I explore how ADHD impacts long-term goal setting due to prioritization issues and working memory deficits. I share personal strategies that have worked for me, such as creating urgency and seeking external motivation. A recent change in Apple’s download metrics inspired me to explore new avenues for my own long-term goals like YouTube and in-person episodes.

    Then we answer some of your call-in questions, I share some resources with you, and of course, we wrap it up with what triggered me this week.

    If you have ADHD or you think you might, join me for this action-packed show. And if you want my help with your ADHD, join FOCUSED!

  • 285 Brain Scientist Says, This is The Root Cause Of ADHD

    285 Brain Scientist Says, This is The Root Cause Of ADHD
    Oct 15 2024

    Dr. Robert Melillo is a clinician, professor, brain researcher, and best-selling author of the book Disconnected Kids. I think you'll find this conversation fascinating. Dr. Melillo challenges the conventional view of ADHD, presenting it not just as a biochemical imbalance, genetic, or underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, but as a developmental imbalance between the two hemispheres of the brain.

    During our conversation, Dr. Melillo breaks down the three subtypes of ADHD—inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined—linking them to different brain regions. We explore how the right hemisphere plays a crucial role in attention, while the left is more associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity.

    Our discussion touches on the intricate interplay within brain regions like the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex, with a nod to the influence of environmental factors and epigenetics. We emphasize the importance of early childhood development and how retained primitive reflexes can impact neurodevelopment. Movement, as Dr. Melillo points out, is vital for brain growth.

    As we wrap up, Dr. Melillo highlights the importance of a comprehensive, personalized approach to enhancing brain function in adults with ADHD. By focusing on exercises and sensory activities, we can improve communication between brain hemispheres and address imbalances. This episode is one that might make you go, "HMMMMMM" - and I'm all for that. Enjoy!

YOU JUST 🤯 MY MIND

Stop waiting for motivation to come.
Stop beating yourself up for working at the last minute.

OMG - these are HUGE realizations for me. I've always said that if it weren't for deadlines, I'd never get anything done. I am a MASTER PROCRASTINATOR, which often leads to me creating a lot of undue stress due to the guilt I feel in putting things off until the last minute. I need to learn to accept this about myself, because I know it seldom changes & let's be honest, under pressure is when I do my best work!! Thank you for the validation in that & helping me to see that I need to give myself a little grace because I always come thru clutch.

Now I shall unpause this episode & continue my listening binge while I finish the massive project I'm working on (under the gun, of course 🤣)!!

Just discovered your podcast last night, 3 episodes in & I am HOOKED!

PS - I still don't have my taxes done!! Appointment with my accountant is Friday & I have yet to compile my business expenses! And no, that's NOT the project I'm currently working on, either!! 🥹
