Today, we’re talking to Jeff Szymanski, Ph.D.
Jeff is the executive director of the International OCD Foundation, and author of The Perfectionist's Handbook.
In this episode, Jeff tells us about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a disorder that is com-morbid with ADHD. Jeff talks about what OCD is and isn’t, what it’s like to live with the disorder, and methods of treatment - many of which are just great anxiety management and self-improvement strategies in general, including self-compassion, why facing adversity and confronting our fears is so important for all of us, and the power of doing hard things.
A brief disclaimer. OCD can sometimes be accompanied by pretty grim thoughts that are diametrically opposed to the values of the person who has it. We do spend a few minutes discussing what that might look like, so this episode is a bit darker than our norm. I know some of you listen to the show as a family. Please preview this one before listening to it with your kids.

Today, we’re talking to Palo.
Palo is a dad with ADHD and dyslexia who basically grew up in a Mark Twain novel.
In this episode, Palo shares his experiences growing up with ADHD. He tells stories of being raised by hippies, living an unfettered childhood, getting kicked out of every school he attended, (including kindergarten for not pledging allegiance!), his love of history, frustration with English, how his past challenges affected him when his child started to struggle, and backtracking his wandering thoughts. (Fair warning, there’s lots of tangents along the way!)
