Enraging Swim Lessons, Incredible Videos, and Competitive First Aid with Laura The ADHD Mama

Friday Jan 03, 2020

Friday Jan 03, 2020

What's up, Team!?!

We're jumping in to 202 by talking to Laura, the ADHD Mama!  And I couldn't be more excited about it!

While researching ADHD for herself and her daughter, Laura decided to start recording her experiences with ADHD.  Since then, her videos have helped people all over the world come up with new ways of dealing with ADHD in themselves and their loved ones.

In today’s episode, we talk about respecting the way ADHD presents in ourselves and our children, the invisible nature of the disorder, the power of knowing you’re not alone.

Today, we’re talking to Carrie Herzberger. Carrie is a coach who helps kids  and teens with ADHD and anxiety get unstuck, and develop the skills, mindsets and confidence they need to meet with success.  Her goal is to help kids achieve in school, but also stand out, in their own way, outside of school.

From ADHD Kid to ADHD mom & ADHD Coach, with Lollie Weeks of Fast Brain Coaching

Friday Dec 20, 2019

Friday Dec 20, 2019

 

Today, we’re talking to my friend, Lollie Weeks of Fast Brain Coaching.

Lollie is a wife, mother and business owner with ADHD, parenting two boys with ADHD, and she’s driven to help students, families, and adults navigate the ADHD superhighway!

In today’s episode, Lollie shares her experiences as kid, mom, and coach with ADHD.  We talk about empathic time travel, the power of fierce moms, why kids ruin sandboxes, the nature of ADHD coaching, and celebrating progress no matter how small.

NOTE:  This episode may sound a little different to you. It was recorded live at the Commonwealth Learning Center in Needham, MA.  As a result, there are some audio artifacts and background noises that don’t typically appear on my episodes, but I think it feels a bit more intimate, too.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it!  Please let me know what you think about this experiment in live recording by emailing me at Brendan@ADHDessentials.com.

Special Thanks to Jeffrey Gordon of Ideal Video Strategies for his support on this project!

ADHD After Dark with Dr. Ari Tuckman. Psychologist in Clinical Practice Specializing in ADHD, Certified Sex Therapist, and Author of ADHD After Dark.

Friday Nov 15, 2019

Friday Nov 15, 2019

Today, we’re talking to Dr. Ari Tuckman.

Ari is a friend of the pod, and a psychologist in private practice, specializing in diagnosing and treating children, teens, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. He has appeared on CNN, NPR, and, as you may recall, this pod! He’s also an author, and has written a pioneering book called “ADHD After Dark” that is based on a study he conducted exploring the impact of ADHD on a couple’s sex life and relationship.

In today’s episode, Ari and I start by talking about what makes a good scientific study (both to bore your kids in case you don't want them listening to the sex episode, and also to increase our scientific literacy). 

Then, we discuss the things we can do to improve our marital relationships, how having kids amplifies what’s already present - especially marital tension, how generosity outside of the bedroom can lead to generosity inside of the bedroom (and vice versa), and lots of other things related to ADHD and sex.
