This episode of the podcast was commandeered by René Brooks of Black Girl Lost Keys. I thought we were going to have one-on-one interview and catch-up, but René had other plans and brought along some friends! So it’s me, René, ADHD coach and mental health clinician Inger Shay Colzie, and the Stacey Machelle of ADHD is the New Black on YouTube.
In this episode, we discuss and demonstrate the importance of singing people’s praises and the supportive nature of the ADHD Community, the power of planting seeds, finding humor in ADHD, the importance of diverse voices in ADHD, and some excellent Ending Essentials.

In today's episode, I share how I responded to a guy who didn't like my supportive, and encouraging approach to parenting. He tried to crush my positivity by saying, "I don't believe that everyone deserves a trophy". So, I thought about it and came back to him with a clearer perspective. The gist of which is that ADHD is a developmental disorder, so kids with ADHD might not meet the same standards as other kids their age. We should meet them where they are. Then teach them to do better moving forward. This episode will teach you how to do that.

She also teaches for RenaFi, a financial education program for ADHDers, and trains coaches as part of the faculty of the ADHD Coach Academy.

Along the way we discuss why clear expectations matter so much, how prioritization struggles can affect performance, the importance of standing up for ourselves, why ADHDers so often take on too much, the power of planting seeds, and the healing hidden of helping others.

In today's episode, I share a strategy I use to help kids get their homework done. (I use it to help adults get stuff done, too!)
It involves assessing in advance the time and effort/energy required to do each homework assignment (or part of the task) and then using the information to make decisions about prioritization and sequencing. So, not only dies it help kids attack the task at hand, but it build executive functioning skill, too!
