A Free Sample of the ADHD Essentials Parent Groups with Ashleigh, ADHD Mom and Past Group Member

Sep 4, 2021

Sep 4, 2021

43 min

Today, we’re talking to Ashleigh.  She’s an ADHD mom, and previous member of the ADHD Essentials Parent Coaching Groups.  Ashleigh contacted me a little while ago and said she wanted to help support the groups.

In today’s episode she does just that.  She asks to me about my vision for the parent groups, and tells me about the things got from them.  I share how my background contributes to the parenting philosophy and the skills that I teach during the eight weeks of the parenting groups, Ashleigh shares how meaningful it was for her to connect with other ADHD parents, and some of the lessons she found most important.  This episode is basically a free sample of what goes on in the groups, you get a little bit of the content and, hopefully, a little of the connection as well.  I’m sure you’ll find something valuable in it.  (Like anxiety smiley faces!  Because we talk about those, too!)

55 min

Today, we’re talking to Jessica McCabe! 

Jessica is the creator and host of the “How to ADHD” YouTube Channel where she shares her toolbox of ADHD tips, techniques, information, and strategies to help us work with our brains rather than against them. 

This is an incredibly wide-ranging interview in which Jessica shares some of the lessons she’s learned while working on “How to ADHD”, and goes into her personal experiences with ADHD.  She talks about being surprised by just how much of her life was affected by ADHD, how ADHD traits can be a blessing and a curse, how to be successful without being neurotypical, navigating para-social relationships, the long-term impact of the core beliefs we develop about ourselves, making invisible challenges more visible, dealing with imposter syndrome.
