Jan 10, 2020

Jan 10, 2020

40 min

It is an absolute pleasure to have my friend, Dr. Carolyn Lentzsch-Parecalls on the show this week.  Carolyn and I met at the very end of 2018 International Conference on ADHD, but connected immediately.  So when we got to reconnect during the 2019 conference, I couldn't wait to have her on the show! 

Carolyn is a pediatrician based in Texas, and a mother with ADHD.  She speaks to parent, student, and professional audiences on subjects including parenting, ADHD, depression, anxiety, adolescent development, and preparing for college. 

In today’s episode, Carolyn shares her personal story about navigating school, balancing her career with her growing family and doing it all with ADHD.  We discuss the power of accommodations, feeling like you’re not parenting at the level you’re supposed to, prioritizing our choices based on wants, needs, and values, and the importance of looking at the positive side of ADHD.

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

Dec 20, 2019

Dec 20, 2019

54 min

 

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!

Caroline is an ADHD and Social Skills expert who has written a book called “Why Will No One Play With Me?”  It’s about helping our kids develop friendships and navigate the waters of social interaction.  It is filled with great information, and practical tips.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t be endorsing it.

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

Nov 15, 2019

Nov 15, 2019

45 min

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.
