Emily is a mom with ADHD, who is has kids with ADHD, and is married to a husband with ADHD, as well as a mental health counselor who is motivated to help gifted and talented kids with the social emotional challenges the face.
In today’s episode, we talk about Emily’s journey from teacher to mental health counselor, making educational decisions for our kids, reframing our expectations to help us accept our flaws and navigate perfectionism, and the importance of taking a strength-based approach to our kids, process over product, and a deep dive on motivation.

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.

SPECIAL DOUBLE-SIZED 100th EPISODE!
Today, we’re talking to me! A while back, my friend Cameron Gott shared an interesting idea with me for the 100th Episode of the ADHD Essentials Podcast. He wanted to flip the script, and interview me about what I learned over the course of doing 100 episodes. Then, the boys, Nathan and Gavin, found out about it, got all excited for the 100th episode, and said they wanted to get in on the fun, too.
So, in today’s episode, we have a double shot of interviews. First, Cameron interviews me about my journey to 100 episodes, and then in a flip of episode 96, my kids interview me about the things I do, and what it’s like to be in our family. The two interviews are separated by a celebratory blast from a noisemaker! (It was the boys' idea, I swear.)

NOTE: THE AUDIO ON THIS EPISODE DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. I'M TRYING TO GET IT FIXED.
Today, it's just me. With an eye toward the future, I give you an update on episode 100 (which drops tomorrow), and beyond! Then I share some thoughts on fear and parenting as it relates to the judgement of others, and what "They" think. I hope you enjoy it.
