Description:If parenting has you oscillating between “I've got this” and “I need to lie down immediately,” press play. Today, we're stepping into one of the most humbling arenas for compassion and grace: your own living room. Because fierce compassion isn't just for coworkers and complicated relatives—it's also for the tiny humans melting down over the wrong color cup or the soccer uniform that didn't get washed in time for game day. And it's for YOU, standing there, wondering how you got so activated over this nonsense. Jen and Amy are talking to Mandy Grass—nationally recognized Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, founder of The Family Behaviorist, former teacher, and mom in a blended family of seven kids (ages four to sixteen). Yes, seven. Her house is less “quiet retreat” and more “ongoing behavioral case study.” The data is… robust. For nearly two decades, Mandy has been translating behavior science into practical, no-guilt tools for families. Her central message feels radical in a culture obsessed with control: kids' behavior is communication—not a moral failure. And neither is your exhaustion. In this conversation, we talk about: What Mandy actually hears when parents say, “We've tried everything” How shame and blame sneak into parenting—and how to gently escort them out Why so much of parenting work begins with the parent, not the kid (I know. We had feelings about this too.) And one tiny shift you can make tonight that will cool the temperature at home (no sticker charts required) Here's the truth: we cannot regulate our kids if we are operating at DEFCON 1 ourselves. Fierce compassion means holding boundaries without losing your humanity. It means seeing your child clearly—and offering yourself the same grace when you inevitably lose it over bedtime negotiations. Mandy also shares about her new podcast, The Behavior Blueprint, a grounded, step-by-step guide for parents who are tired of quick fixes and ready for something that actually works in real life—not just on Instagram. It's equal parts instruction, compassion, and “oh thank God, it's not just me.” Take a breath. Your child isn't the problem. You aren't either. And that might be the fiercest compassion of all. Thought-provoking Quotes: "In behavior analysis, every behavior has a function –attention, escape, access to something tangible, and an automatic or a sensory function."– Mandy Grass “Do I have ADHD, anxiety, or am I just a mom?” – Mandy Grass “Our default is take away, take away, take away. And really what we want to do is reinforce the behavior we want to see more of.” – Mandy Grass “You're not gonna get it right every time, but at least it doesn't feel like you have no idea what to do.”– Mandy Grass Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Behavior Blueprint podcast with Mandy Grass - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-behavior-blueprint-with-mandy-grass/id1872526999 Too Much Junk on Your Social Media Feeds?

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Most of us never actually choose our values. We absorb them from parents, culture, and community, and then wonder why our lives feel like a scratchy sweater we can't take off. That works for a while until something starts to feel off. Nothing is technically wrong, but you have the sense that the life you're living may not actually fit you.Procrastination lives in the same neighborhood. It's not about the task. It's about the feeling the task creates, boredom, confusion, fear, or perfectionism, which is fear in a tailored blazer.The shift comes when you realize you get to choose. You can drop values that feel like an uncomfortable sweater and replace them with ones that actually feel right. In this episode, let's talk about how to identify what you actually value, why motivation follows action and never the other way around, how to shrink the start so small your brain can't resist, and how to hack dopamine so it works for you instead of against you.If you've been waiting to feel ready, motivated, or confident before you start, this episode will flip that. You don't become the person first. Every small action teaches your brain who you are becoming.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

Last week I shared something that I was diagnosed with ADHD at 49. It was a big moment for me, and judging from your messages (thank you for those!) it resonated with a lot of you too. So this week, Penn and I continuing the conversation with someone we absolutely adore, ADHD expert Dr. Tamara Rosier. In this episode we dig into something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough... the emotional side of ADHD.Why do ADHDers feel things so big?Why can small moments feel overwhelming?Why do shame, perfectionism, and rejection sensitivity show up so often in ADHD brains?Dr. Tamara walks us through the science, but also gives us metaphors that are so good you'll never forget them. There's the swimming pool of emotions. The window of tolerance. And my personal favorite, when two ADHD people meet and suddenly it's like two squirrels playing in a park. (Which might explain Penn and I better than anything else ever has.) We also talk about ADHD in families, raising kids with big emotions, why so many women are misdiagnosed with anxiety, and how to replace shame with understanding.This conversation is equal parts therapy session and pep talk. If you've ever wondered why your brain works the way it does, or why your emotions sometimes feel louder than everyone else's, this episode might help you feel a little less alone

What if the easiest version of the task is actually the smartest one?In this episode, we're talking about the path of least resistance — and why for ADHD brains, it's not laziness. It's strategy.The path of least resistance is the version of a task that:Requires the least activation energyUses the least executive functionHurts the leastGets you moving the fastestNot the A+ version.Not the neurotypical version.The version you can actually do.So why don't we take it? Perfectionism.Russell Ramsay calls perfectionism the number one cognitive distortion in adults with ADHD. It sounds like, “If I'm going to do it, I have to do it right.” But “right” usually means the hardest, most optimized version — which often means we don't do it at all.We'll talk about:Why 70% done changes your lifeHow all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuckThe moral layer that makes “easy” feel like cheatingWhy the hard way is often the never-finished wayPlus, I'll give you a simple coaching tool to use when you're stuck:What is the easiest possible version of this?Because forward motion builds momentum.Momentum builds self-trust.And self-trust changes everything.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Smartphones, social media, and interactive screens are something many parents today are thinking carefully about, especially when it comes to their kids. In this episode, I'm joined by Clare Morrell to talk about what the research shows regarding how these technologies affect developing brains and family life. We discuss practical ways families can approach technology differently, from trying a 30-day tech detox to delaying smartphones and modeling healthier phone habits as parents. If you're looking for thoughtful perspective and practical ideas for navigating screens in your home, this conversation will be the encouragement you need! In this episode, we cover: - Why smartphones and social media apps are intentionally designed to capture kids' time, attention, and data - The brain science behind dopamine hits and why interactive screens are uniquely addictive for children - Why even short amounts of screen time can affect kids' mood, focus, and behavior throughout the day - The surprising limitations of parental controls and why they rarely give parents real oversight - Distinguishing between passive technology (like watching a movie) and highly stimulating interactive media - How excessive screen stimulation can dysregulate a child's nervous system and mimic ADHD-like symptoms - What families experience during a 30-day digital detox and the behavioral changes many notice within weeks - Ground rules for a family tech reset, including which devices and activities are removed during detox - Why addressing our own phone habits as parents—and modeling healthier technology boundaries—plays a critical role in helping kids succeed - Alternative phone options that allow teens to communicate without introducing smartphone distractions - How some families delay smartphones until late high school or adulthood and what they observe long term - Navigating cultural pressures—from youth groups to employers—that assume every teen has a smartphone - The bigger vision behind a “tech exit”: raising kids who prioritize real-world skills, creativity, and relationships over digital consumption View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Why do kids feel like everyone else has more?In this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation, Rabbi Ari Schonfeld shares practical insights on parenting, money, social pressure, and how children develop their sense of self in a world filled with comparisons. From growing up in a home with very little, to leading a yeshiva and running a summer camp, Rabbi Schonfeld offers a rare perspective on what kids actually notice about money — and what parents often underestimate. When do children start comparing themselves to others? Why do brands, vacations, and clothing suddenly matter so much? And how can parents raise kids who feel confident and proud of their values, even when they can't have everything their friends have?Along the way, Rabbi Schonfeld shares powerful stories about childhood, school environments, parenting challenges, and one unforgettable moment when a teenager said something that stopped him in his tracks: “I don't want his trips. I want him.” This is an honest conversation about money, parenting, pressure, and what kids really want from the people raising them.I'm grateful to have had this conversation with Rabbi Ari Schonfeld.R' Ari's podcast can be found on:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-learning-curve-mishpacha/id1744827367Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5ISRvKPoVS77dZqbbDNx1e?si=RnoE0DF9RLuAbHQbYAqYWA

EVEN MORE about this episode!Are sensitive children, ADHD, and autism signs of something deeper—like spiritual awakening or New Earth souls?Join Julie Ryan and intuitive healer Sherri Divband as they explore Indigo and Crystal children, conscious parenting, spiritual gifts in kids, and the evolution of human consciousness. Sherri shares her extraordinary journey from childhood trauma and survival to working with animals at the National Zoo, and ultimately receiving guidance from her unborn daughter about a revolutionary new model of education.Together, they explore the waves of Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, Star, and Divine children, why so many struggle in traditional school systems, and how sensitivities to food, toxins, and overstimulation may reflect energetic awareness rather than dysfunction. Sherri explains how each generation is evolving to hold more light and why many children diagnosed with ADHD or autism may actually be experiencing spiritual activation in a world not designed to support them.The conversation expands into a bold vision for conscious education through The Aramis Collective and its Creative Learning Centers—spaces centered on wellness, frequency healing, project-based exploration, and connection with animals. From children remembering past lives to those perceiving energy fields, this episode invites parents, educators, and seekers to reconsider what's truly unfolding. If you've ever felt there's more to the next generation than meets the eye, this powerful discussion will inspire hope, clarity, and a new perspective on humanity's awakening.Guest Biography:Sherri Divband is an Intuitive Transformational Energy Healer, author of Intuitive Transformation Evolution, Divinely Guided, and the children's series Divinely Guided Children. After nearly 20 years as a registered veterinary technician working in surgery, intensive care, and at the zoo, Sherri followed her lifelong connection to animals into Reiki and energy healing—an awakening that ultimately led her to work with people on a quantum, multidimensional level. Today, she offers soul readings, energetic clearings, spiritual coaching, and mentorship to clients worldwide, empowering individuals to access their innate healing abilities and higher states of consciousness. In recent years, she has focused on guiding New Earth children and supporting parents in nurturing spiritually gifted kids, and in 2022 she founded The Aramis Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to creating conscious learning centers and expansive educational resources for children around the globe.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) - Understanding New Earth Children(0:06:20) - The Different Waves: Indigo, Crystal, Star, Rainbow, and Divine(0:24:51) - Star Seeds and Soul Origins(0:43:13) - Sherri's Journey: From Trauma to Purpose(0:55:51) - Reimagining Education: The Aramis Vision(1:06:20) - Real Stories: How Gifted Children Transform Families➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️Ask Julie a Question!

It's important we learn how to partner with Jesus in every aspect of life—including our biggest questions. This week's topics address how to navigate life with ADHD, whether God wants us to dream about our future in what feels like the end times, what is meant by the term “unholy trinity,” the challenge young adults have when parents or older authority figures dismiss their insights, and what repentance looks like, both personally and collectively.Show Notes: Discover the Wild at Heart guided prayers in our app or on our website.

What if ADHD isn't just about focus… but about a nervous system stuck in survival mode? Therapist Jennifer Free explains why many ADHD brains are living in chronic fight-or-flight—and why productivity tools like planners and to-do lists often fail. In this episode, Jennifer shares how her own late ADHD diagnosis in graduate school led her to rethink everything she was taught about ADHD treatment. Instead of adding more systems and strategies, she began focusing on nervous system regulation. When the body is dysregulated, executive functioning drops, urgency increases, and people get stuck in a familiar ADHD pattern: on → crash → repeat. Jennifer introduces the concept of “alignment with reality” — learning to match your internal state to what's actually happening instead of fighting reality with thoughts like “I'm behind” or “there's not enough time.” We also explore ADHD in women and motherhood, the cultural pressure to constantly produce, and how productivity for productivity's sake can disconnect us from joy, presence, and the people we care about most. Jennifer shares practical ways to regulate in everyday life, including recognizing signs of dysregulation, slowing the body to signal safety, and identifying the beliefs that keep us stuck in urgency. If you constantly feel rushed, overwhelmed, or trapped by your to-do list, this episode will change how you think about ADHD, productivity, and regulation.

Hey Team! This week I've got Cate Osborn and Erik Gude on the show. Cate, known online as Catieosaurus, holds an M.Ed and uses her background in research and sex education to help neurodivergent folks navigate relationships and communication. Erik, known online as HeyGude, is an advocate and speaker who uses his platform to destigmatize the messy internal monologue of the ADHD brain. Honestly, it almost feels like I don't need to introduce these two given everything they've produced; they are definitely an online powerhouses. I've been a fan of their podcast, Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure, for quite a while now. So I imagine you've probably seen at least something from them. And they've spent the last few years distilling their combined experiences into a new book designed to act as a foundational knowledge base for neurodivergent adults. The book The ADHD Field Guide for Adults was a ton of fun to read; it's written in an incredibly ADHD-friendly manner, and I really appreciated the approach, making this a book for adults where I don't feel like I'm being talked down to. So in the episode, we're definitely talking about the book, but we go into a ton of different topics. We talk about the "systems-first" approach to ADHD management. We break down the precision of language and why understanding that distinction matters. And a whole lot more, there's just a ton of stuff in this episode. Check out The ADHD Field Guide for Adults which is available in hardcover, e-book, and as an audiobook narrated by the authors Cate and Erik. Visit Catieosaurus.com for information on Cate's national tour, "Wildly Unprepared," and upcoming book signing events.

Shame is an unchangeable dead end, but guilt is a "window for change" that allows you to acknowledge a behavior, such as being late or having a messy car, without condemning your entire identity. Recognize that "defeat" is often more comfortable than "failure" because defeat asks nothing of you; it simply means the game is over. Overcoming ADHD difficulties requires a healthy relationship with failure. Try viewing failure as a data point for "dissecting the system" rather than a reason to just stop trying. Many ADHD systems fail because they are built to satisfy "residual gook" from childhood. We often have internalized rules about how things "should" be done, like folding socks or separating silverware that have no basis beyond that it's just how we've always done it. Audit your tasks to see if you actually care about the result; if you don't, dismantling the expectation (like using bins instead of folding laundry) can remove the cognitive load of a performance you don't actually value.    

In this empowering episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt explores the transformative concept of emotional sovereignty. She delves into what it truly means to take ownership of your emotions and reactions, emphasizing the importance of self-responsibility and internal regulation. Brianne shares her personal journey of practicing emotional sovereignty over the past two years and offers practical insights on how to cultivate this vital skill in your own life.Throughout the episode, Brianne provides listeners with actionable strategies to enhance their emotional resilience, including the power of the pause, self-validation, and establishing healthy boundaries. She highlights the significance of recognizing when external emotions are projected onto us and encourages a proactive approach to managing our responses. By learning to separate our emotions from those of others, we can foster healthier relationships and reduce conflict.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to reclaim their emotional power and navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence. Join Brianne as she guides you through the journey of understanding emotional sovereignty and empowers you to live a more authentic, fulfilling life.

In this episode of the Translating ADHD podcast, Asher and Dusty explore the challenge many people with ADHD face in capturing moments of high motivation and inspiration, often described as "lightning strikes." They discuss how the friction caused by disorganization or incomplete routines can prevent these moments from turning into productive or enjoyable experiences. Dusty introduces the concept of "making the stars align" — setting up one's environment and habits in advance to reduce barriers, so when motivation hits, it's easier to act on it. Both share personal examples, such as the frustration of not having clean clothes ready or art supplies prepared, illustrating how small daily habits can either support or hinder these moments of flow. The hosts also emphasize the importance of shifting motivation from external "shoulds" to internal, meaningful reasons that resonate deeply with the individual. They suggest practical strategies like future forecasting—considering consequences of inaction—and celebrating small wins to build awareness and positive reinforcement. The episode concludes with advice for listeners to start small by choosing one area to reduce friction and prepare for future inspired moments, highlighting that even minor adjustments can lead to greater success and satisfaction in managing ADHD challenges.

Struggling to understand your child's ups and downs? This episode uncovers what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns, anxiety, and focus struggles, giving parents clear insight and tools from Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation.Many parents ask, what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns anxiety and focus struggles? The answer isn't bad behavior. It's a stressed nervous system stuck in survival mode.I unveil The Dysregulated Kid, my parenting playbook rooted in nervous system regulation. After three decades as a mental health professional, I want to emphasize: we must stop chasing separate labels and start calming the child's nervous system first.Why does my child have meltdowns, anxiety, and focus problems all at once?Parents are often told these are separate issues—ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, mood swings. But what if your child's meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, and focus struggles are signals from the same activated child's brain?When stress hormones stay elevated, the nervous system shifts into fight or flight mode. The amygdala goes on high alert, and the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for impulse control, problem solving, and emotional regulation skills—goes offline.That's when you see:Emotional meltdowns over small requestsSensory overload and strong feelingsPoor impulse controlDifficulty starting tasksPublic meltdowns that feel confusing and exhaustingIt's not defiance. It's a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed.What's happening in my child's brain during intense meltdowns?During childhood meltdowns, stress hormones like cortisol surge. In sympathetic overdrive, your child cannot access coping skills or manage emotions effectively.Meltdowns happen when the nervous system loses flexibility. The brain gets stuck in survival mode. Over time, ongoing stress creates patterns of chronic stress that won't resolve without intervention.Signs your child may be overstimulated:Intense reactions and emotional outburstsTrouble settling at nightRigidity and control battlesAnxiety loops and worrySigns of an understimulated pattern:Shutdown or avoidanceSchool refusalMood stabilizers not improving focusProcrastination or appearing “lazy”Both patterns are nervous system issues—not character flaws.If you're not sure whether your child is stuck in an over- or under-stimulated pattern, Quick CALM can help you figure it out fast. Why doesn't discipline or medication fix emotional dysregulation?Many children are treated with pressure, punishment, or medication when behavior escalates. But treating overstimulation with discipline increases stress. Treating underactivation with pressure deepens withdrawal.Stress worsens emotional regulation and emotional resilience. It impacts learning, self regulation, and even long-term mental health.I want to remind parents:This is a capacity issue, not a compliance issue.You must lower stress before layering skills.Nervous system regulation comes before behavior change.You can't teach regulation skills to a child whose brain is in fight or flight mode.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How can I help my dysregulated child calm down?Let's calm the brain first.Practical proactive strategies include:Deep breathing and breathing exercises togetherGentle pressure and deep pressure hugsRhythmic movement or physical activityCreating a quiet space during challenging momentsConsistent routines and clear expectationsModeling remaining calm with a calm voiceWhen a meltdown occurs:Take a deep breath yourselfLower demands temporarilyOffer sensory integration toolsFocus on connection before correctionYour regulated presence helps your child calm. When you regulate your own nervous system, you help children develop emotional regulation skills.

What if the problem isn't that you're broken… but that you've been handed a measuring stick that was never made for you in the first place? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Ashlyn Thompson for a deeply honest conversation about the pressure to keep fixing yourself, the myth of "normal," and how easy it is to confuse self-growth with self-rejection. Ashlyn opens up about life as a medical mom with ADHD and the layered complexity of trying to function in a world that constantly suggests there's a better, more optimized, more "together" version of you just waiting on the other side of the right routine, system, planner, diagnosis, or breakthrough. Together, we explore what happens when the pursuit of becoming "better" starts to feel exhausting instead of supportive. We talk about the difference between self-renovation and self-reclamation, why "normal" is often a flawed and painful benchmark, and how to start listening for what actually fits you instead of forcing yourself into what looks right from the outside. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like a project. Anyone who has ever thought, Why does this feel so hard for me? Anyone who is tired of chasing the version of themselves they think they're supposed to become. There's a lot of truth in this one. And also a lot of relief. In this episode, we talk about: The myth of normal and why "average" is not the same thing as healthy The pressure to constantly improve, optimize, and reinvent yourself How self-help can quietly become another form of self-criticism The difference between seeking growth from love versus from shame Why "within range" doesn't always mean well The emotional toll of feeling like you don't fit the world around you How to notice what actually feels good, safe, warm, and true for you Why creativity, play, and small moments of delight matter more than we think The difference between problem-solving and solution-seeking A gentler way to ask: What would make this feel a little easier?

Why is it so hard to do something we say we want to do—like meditation? To hear this episode ad-free get a 7 day free trial right now. In this episode, Jen responds to a listener from her Patreon community who says she knows meditation is good for her but can't get herself to do it consistently. The conversation quickly turns into a bigger question: do you actually want to do the thing, or do you just think you're supposed to? Jen talks about ADHD, perfectionism, nervous system regulation, and how a lot of us get stuck trying to do things the "right" way. She also makes the point that meditation doesn't work for everyone and you don't have to force yourself to do it if it isn't the thing that helps you regulate. The real work is figuring out why you think you want to do something and what you're hoping it will give you. Jen also challenges the idea that consistency has to mean daily, and explains why doing something a few times a week might already count as consistent. Along the way, she discusses different ways people calm their nervous systems from walking meditation and mantra repetition to progressive muscle relaxation and EFT tapping, while encouraging listeners to rethink motivation, regulation, and the expectations we put on ourselves.

“He Is” Series Day #1 Elohim (God as Creator) Genesis1:1 “In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.” Welcome to He Is, a devotional journey through the names of God. So often we focus on what we need from God — peace, provision, healing, direction. But in this series, we're going to shift our focus to who He is. Because when we truly know His name, we begin to trust His heart. Over the Next month or so, we'll explore the powerful names of God found in Scripture — from Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, to El Roi, the God who sees us — and allow each name to renew our faith and anchor our identity in Him. Lateley I have been hearing people mention the various names for God. It is not new for me to hear things like, God is our provider or God is our healer. However, I have been hearing people use the Hebrew and Greek names for the Lord. These are new to me. I have heard a few before, but I didn't realize there were so many. The other day, I heard someone mention a few of the names, and I felt in my heart that I was supposed to do a series on them in case others haven't heard of them either. The more we know about God, the closer we can get to Him. If we don't know God, if we don't know all of Him, then how can we trust Him? How can we be in a close relationship with Him if we don't know who He is? I pray that at the end of this series, you know more about God and who He really is. I pray you learn more about God than you did before. I pray this series not only blesses you, but transforms your view of God and our relationship with Him! Elohim is the first name for God given in the Bible. It was given in the very beginning when describing how God created everything. Today's verse is, “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth.” However, that chapter goes into much more detail about all things God created in those first few days. God spoke the entire universe into existence. He thought of light and darkness. He thought of land and water. He thought of animals for the land and for the sea. He thought of days and nights and the sun and the moon. He thought of everything. I invite you to take a moment and think about your life. Think about how much detail went into creating the life you have now. Imagine how many things had to line up in order for you to have your parents. Imagine all the things that lined up so you could go to the school you went to or have the job that you have. When I take a moment to look at my life, I think about all the ways God was creating the life that I have now. In high school, I dated a guy whom I thought I would marry. I wanted to go to school in New Jersey to be close to where he was. However, I ended up going to school in Connecticut because I couldn't afford the school in New Jersey. I ended up breaking up with my high school boyfriend two years later. Then my roommate was taking ROTC classes at UCONN. They had a bring-a-friend day, and that is where I met the man I would marry. God knew what He was creating. When Tony and I got married, we had to move away from family because he was in the military. We both agreed that once he was done with his four-year commitment, then we would get out of the military, unless we both wanted to stay in. Which we both agreed was unlikely. Then, 4 years turned into 15 years before we finally moved back close to family. It turns out God knew what He was doing, and we both loved moving to new places, meeting new people, and exploring different parts of the world. God is an amazing creator. He can orchestrate things we never would have thought of. He can work with you to create the most amazing life you can dream of. He can create jobs you didn't even know existed. I was just listening to a podcast this morning about a couple who started doing TikTok videos as a spur-of-the-moment decision. Now the husband has quit his full-time job, they make money from their videos, and they're taking on other adventures they never would have thought of before. When you look at this couple on paper, they do not look like they would fit together at all. She has ADHD, and he has autism. He had a steady job for over 20 years, and she bounced from job to job. He has had 2 divorces and two children with two different moms. She has had numerous relationships with men and women that have never worked out. Even when they talk about their relationship, they talk about how it doesn't make sense on paper. They are two very different people. Yet God helped them create a beautiful life together. They have learned so much about each other and how they function best. They have gone into business together, making these videos, and have written a book or two. Things are really good with them. I do want to say one thing that I think we tend to overlook a lot. God did create a beautiful life for me and Tony and for this couple and for so many others. However, that doesn't mean we go through life perfectly without any problems. God didn't say we wouldn't struggle; He said he would be there with us through the struggle. So, Tony and I still argue with each other, we still argue with our kids, and we still struggle with life at times. Yet, we know God is here with us to help us through it. The same is true for you. When you look at your life and you wonder why you might be struggling, remember that God is with you in your struggle. Try to find the amazing things about your life. Try to focus on the good instead of the bad. If all you see are the bad things in your life, then pray to Elohim. Pray to God to create more of whatever you feel you are missing in your life. Do you need Him to create more joy, more fun, more adventure, more love, more peace? Whatever it is, ask Him for it. Ask Him to help you create the life you have been dreaming of, the life you have always wanted. God is an amazing creator. If he can create the entire world in 7 days, I think He can make some magic happen in your life as well. All we need to do is ask. Dear Elohim, please bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are the creator of all things good. You are the reason we have what we have. Thank you, Lord! Thank you for our families, friends, and all those in our lives. Lord, help us to create the life we want to live. Help us to create a life full of all the things you have put in our hearts. Help us to remember to come to you first, Lord! Help us to remember that you are always there with us and that you are the creator of all! We love you, and we ask this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! God is on your side and we are both rooting for you! Have a blessed day! Today's Word from the Lord was received in September 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Al's on the mic with a London-led study suggesting specialist palliative care can improve quality of life and ease pressure on the NHS — yes, a rare win-win. Then the UK ADHD debate gets a much-needed reality check as experts say the bigger issue isn't overdiagnosis… it's unmet need and long waits. After that, we jump to physics where atom-thin magnets start forming tiny vortices like it's completely normal, before China's brain-computer ambitions give the sci-fi crowd something to talk about. In gaming, Marvel Rivals brings back Chrono Rush, and we finish on commuter tech: The Standard's take on Google's Pixel 10a.

PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookWe aren't gonna tell you how to fix ADD/ADHD. (Spoiler alert, you or your loved one don't need fixing.) We are, however, going to teach our 6-month group on how to relate to ADHD, in yourself or in someone else. The actual problem is a societal standard our brain wasn't designed for. In this podcast we are talking about months 3 & 4 of the slow group curriculum. We will explore navigating overwhelm, and our capacity versus our desire. Modern society rewards our working beyond our capacity, forcing many of us to burnout and collapse. No wonder it's even more difficult to not fit the standard productivity mold that shames so many patterns of ADHD brain types. The slow group will learn how to assess, then tend to, capacity. Instead of living from desire, an inherently dominating pattern, we can start to honor the ebb and flow of our capacity. An important element is finding our unique motivators, based in pleasure and interest, as willpower does not provide the dopamine to motivate an ADHD brain.  Also discussed will be relationships, from the perspective of the person with ADHD, or from the perspective of being in relationship with the person with ADHD. Camille and Luis talk about how they navigate their family relationships when different brains need different systems from each other to thrive. You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/recover-from-burnout You can read more about, and register for, Camille's Embodying My Cycles & Rhythms 6-month group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/cycles-and-rhythms-slow-group You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied ADHD 6-month program, here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-adhd----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

"I was triggered" vs. "I chose"—what if both are true, and neither gets to the real problem? When a listener sent Tony a viral video challenging people to replace "I was triggered" with "I chose," it sparked a deeper conversation about accountability, nervous system science, and the shame-based frameworks many of us inherited long before we ever heard the word "trigger." This episode holds two truths at once: yes, adults are responsible for their behavior—and the initial nervous system activation that precedes a choice is real, automatic, and not a moral failure. Episode highlights: Why the word "trigger" can feel like a life sentence to trauma survivors—and an identity assignment to the people who hurt them Rick Hanson's "first and second dart" framework and the four stages of change from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence The critical distinction between activation and action—and why that space is where all growth lives How Richard Rohr's reframe of sin as brokenness needing healing (not judgment) connects directly to why shame never produces lasting change How shame gets installed in childhood before a four-year-old's brain can separate "I did something bad" from "I am bad"—and how ACT defusion offers a way out 00:00 Welcome and Course Plug 01:08 Listener Email and The Bet 03:33 Nick Pollard Trigger Reframe 04:57 Agreeing With Nuance 08:58 Trigger Word Cultural Weight 13:21 First and Second Darts 15:08 Four Stages of Change 21:21 Agency vs Nervous System 24:00 Pathologically Kind and Shame 26:46 Language Shapes Experience 27:18 Sin Versus Healing 28:36 Rohr Reframes Brokenness 31:08 Shame Keeps Us Stuck 31:57 How Shame Gets Installed 37:03 ACT And Defusion 40:13 Radical Acceptance Lens 41:52 Original Sin Culture Myth 46:43 Kingdom Of God Within 49:18 What We Learned Today 51:37 Closing Reflections Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist, betrayal trauma certified, and host of The Virtual Couch, Waking Up to Narcissism, and Love, ADHD podcasts.

In this episode of the FAMM Research Series, Lisa examines peer-reviewed research on the relationship between ADHD symptoms and the menstrual cycle, exploring how reproductive hormones may influence symptom variability in women. The episode draws on a study titled "Reproductive Steroids and ADHD Symptoms Across the Menstrual Cycle," which tracked salivary hormone levels and self-reported ADHD symptoms throughout participants' cycles. Lisa discusses key findings suggesting that the luteal phase — when progesterone is elevated and estrogen is comparatively lower — may be associated with a higher presentation of ADHD-related symptoms in women. She also highlights a secondary study on misdiagnosis, examining the specific challenges women face in receiving an accurate ADHD diagnosis, including patterns of being treated for anxiety or depression before the underlying condition is identified. Throughout the episode, Lisa connects these findings to the broader value of menstrual cycle charting as a tool for recognizing cyclical symptom patterns in clinical practice.

This episode holds two truths at once: yes, adults are responsible for their behavior—and the initial nervous system activation that precedes a choice is real, automatic, and not a moral failure. Episode highlights: Why the word "trigger" can feel like a life sentence to trauma survivors—and an identity assignment to the people who hurt them Rick Hanson's "first and second dart" framework and the four stages of change from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence The critical distinction between activation and action—and why that space is where all growth lives How Richard Rohr's reframe of sin as brokenness needing healing (not judgment) connects directly to why shame never produces lasting change How shame gets installed in childhood before a four-year-old's brain can separate "I did something bad" from "I am bad"—and how ACT defusion offers a way out 00:00 Welcome and Course Plug 01:08 Listener Email and The Bet 03:33 Nick Pollard Trigger Reframe 04:57 Agreeing With Nuance 08:58 Trigger Word Cultural Weight 13:21 First and Second Darts 15:08 Four Stages of Change 21:21 Agency vs Nervous System 24:00 Pathologically Kind and Shame 26:46 Language Shapes Experience 27:18 Sin Versus Healing 28:36 Rohr Reframes Brokenness 31:08 Shame Keeps Us Stuck 31:57 How Shame Gets Installed 37:03 ACT And Defusion 40:13 Radical Acceptance Lens 41:52 Original Sin Culture Myth 46:43 Kingdom Of God Within 49:18 What We Learned Today 51:37 Closing Reflections Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist, betrayal trauma certified, and host of The Virtual Couch, Waking Up to Narcissism, and Love, ADHD podcasts.

Hey Team, I've been working on a presentation for an upcoming conference called Neurodiversion, and when I was thinking about what I wanted to present, the idea of memes came to me, and I'm gonna be honest here: this was mostly out of a desire to just make looking at memes part of work. As I started looking into the concept more and putting together the presentation, I realized there's a lot more to it than I initially thought. Memes are more than just digital clutter; they're a fairly vital part of modern culture. I know how that sounds, but this is visual shorthand. They give us a way to communicate that we are part of an in-group simply by understanding what the meme is. They are these inside jokes across entire online communities, and the more I dove in, the more I realized that memes are more important than they seem on the surface. They aren't just jokes; they're ways to find community, understanding, and meaning in our own experience. That's important even if they come from something silly. And so that's what we're going to explore in this episode: how memes can give us meaning, how they can give us community, and how they can be a little dangerous.

"Pebbling" allows for a low-stakes connection that signals "I am thinking of you" without the cognitive load of a conversation. Digital content can act as a starting point for self-discovery, but it's still not a diagnostic tool. A meme can point you in the right direction, but it doesn't represent the actual lived experience of your impairment. Don't mistake a "relatable quirk" for the totality of the disorder. Virality is not a proxy for truth. ADHD brains can be prone to "sticky" ideas and sometimes skip steps on verifying facts. The shift here is moving from "It's relatable, so it's true" to "It's relatable, but what's the source?"  

This first Fuck Yeah Friday episode of March centers on the idea that permission doesn't come from the outside—it comes from you. Lesley highlights the legacy of Alice Milliat, who created opportunities for women in sports by building an alternative system when institutions refused to change. She then shares community wins and her own personal health milestones, reinforcing that progress, self-care, and courage often show up in everyday actions. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Friday. Brad Crowell 0:03  Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:04  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 0:44  Hi, Be It babe. Hello, happy FYF, our first one on March. Are you ready? Are you in it? This year is just it's going by. There's a lot going on, so much I could say, but we're gonna start with some something that was inspiring and cool, that that I found on the internet. So this is from herstory_feminism. Did you know women's athletics entered the Olympics because one woman forced the issue by building her own games. Meet Alice Milliat. In the earliest 20th century, women were largely banned from competitive athletics, yes, we know, but the Olympic Committee claimed running, jumping and throwing were dangerous for women's bodies, too strenuous, too unfeminine, too much. So women were excluded, officially and unapologetically. Alice Milliat was a French sports administrator who refused to accept that answer. She believed women were not fragile. They were restricted, and if institutions wouldn't change, she would go around them. In 1921 Alice Milliat founded the Federation Sportive Feminine Internationale. I didn't say that with a French accent, I am sorry. Then she did something radical. She organized the Women's World Games, international competitions where women ran, jumped through and competed at elite level in front of crowds of tens of thousands, no permission required. The games were a success. They drew athletes, spectators and press attention, and suddenly the Olympics had a problem. Women's Sports was thriving without them. Under pressure, the IOC agreed to include women's athletics in the 1928 Olympic games, but only a limited number of events, and only after years of resistance. Once women were absorbed into the Olympic system. Alice Milliat was quietly pushed out. The Women's World Games were discontinued. Her organization dissolved. Her name faded from official history. The institution kept the change. The woman who forced it disappeared. Of course. Alice Milliat didn't ask for inclusion. She built an alternative so strong it made exclusion impossible. Women didn't enter the Olympics because attitude softened. The injured because a woman proved the ban was unnecessary. History remembers the institution. It forgets a disruption that forced it to change. So I am just obsessed and with like, I just think that's so cool. What a badass. It's so hard to do something scary and new like that. But she didn't ask for permission. Just did it. And I think, like, isn't that being it till we see it? We don't actually need permission from anyone to do what it is that we want to do. Make sure you just get to do it. So I just want to say, if there's something that you're waiting for someone to deem you worthy of doing, I wouldn't. I would just go do it. And it's really scary. I get it. We're working on something right now that may or may not happen when it when I it's for sure happening, I will definitely shout it out and let you know. But part of me is like, oh, my god, is this the right time? Who are we to do this? We don't have, like, like, we could do it, but like, you know, so just know that, like, you need it all from you. The permission comes from you. Lesley Logan 3:29  All right, we're getting, this is my first FYF that I'm recording, I think, this year. And I'm, I'm just definitely, like, getting back into the swing of things. So if you are, you're like, wow, she sounds a little disorganized. I am just a little bit. Okay, so this is the fyfs where, this is where I actually share your wins. And you guys posted a ton of wins when I asked a few weeks back, so I'm going to read a few of them for you. So I do your wins. I do my wins. And really, we're just here to have a short time together where we go, whoa. Look at all the badasses that (inaudible) like women, you guys are so amazing. I know we have a few good men who listen. Thanks so much. But I'm really but I'm really so proud of how we can constantly find wins in all the muck, right? So this is from Yasmin. She said my biggest win is one week without Instagram to focus on other things. Yasmin, the time I'm recording this like I have to tell you right now, I actually haven't posted in days. I've just been kind of reposting from Profitable Pilates and Be It Till You See It, be it till I see it. And I'm like, why don't we call it Be It Till We See It. It's a group effort. And I am loving it because I have to have focus on other things, like it's being the beast is annoying, and so I'm so happy for you. What that is such a huge win, by the way, because it's kind of addictive. All right. Rachel from Seattle, rach.sos.vib, she wrote, I skied, taught fantastic classes and learned how to use earphones to record with Zoom for eLevate. You know what? Huge wins. You went out, took a break when skiing. You know, you had some fantastic classes that you you taught, like, way to pat yourself on the back. I love that. And then you learned how to use some earphones to record it. You know what? We all have to be beginners again. There's always something to be a beginner and like, it's so good for our brains to do that. So, way to go. All right, one more win from you guys. This is from anniecaminpilates. My wins, being present with my kiddos, getting decent sleep, getting outside for movement and fresh air despite crazy winter weather. You know what? Let me just say, huge win. If you can do all of that with kiddos and crazy winter weather, you're you're kicking ass. So you see how wins can be like something like so simple, I just didn't do Instagram for a week. Like, I am on a mission for more women to see that they are winning at things. They're winning at life because the world is trying to tell us that we're not, and they're doing that because if we banded together, we'd kick some ass, we'd run the world. We'd harness the sun's energy. That's what my yoga teacher said this morning, and I couldn't agree more. Lesley Logan 5:38  All right, so let me tell you my win. So here's where, while we're talking, I have actually had my annual visit with my lady doctor. I scheduled my MRI for my breast visits, and I met with a psychiatrist about my ADHD, and I met with a breast doctor about my high risk. So I am just saying, like, just saying, like, wow, it's March 6, and I've done all the important doctor's appointments I need to do this year, and I just, I'm so proud of myself. I call that a win, especially for someone who hates making phone calls, like I really do. And then the MRI was not easy. I actually had to drive there because, like, scheduling over the phone is just a disaster with doctor's offices these days. In the year of our Lord 2026 with all the AI in the world, you got to go in person if you want to get an appointment that actually can be kept, because, if you remember, last year, they rescheduled it multiple times because it kept getting scheduled during someone's lunch. How does that happen? How does it happen? Lunches should be blocked out. So anyways, my win is like we got them all done, and it's only March. I've got a plan for this year. I'm really excited. I'll share more about my ADHD journey as I have information for you, but just freaking stoked. Lesley Logan 6:42  So now let's give you a mantra and send you on your amazing way. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. What a fun mantra to draw on this day. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. Yes, every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. I mean, every act of self-care is a step toward being it till you see it, babe. All right, you know what to do. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it. Go, send your wins into the beitpod.com/questions you can send your questions there as well. And then, you know, share this episode with a friend. I already said that. So why don't you share this episode with a friend? Then, you know, go Be It Till You See It. Go, have a good day. Thanks so much.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Amy Kriewaldt, a late-diagnosed Autistic, ADHD, and PDA mother of three neurodivergent children.Amy grew up a hyperlexic piano prodigy, praised for talent and performance while quietly navigating sensory overwhelm, situational mutism, perfectionism, and crushing internal expectations. It wasn't until her children began receiving diagnoses that she started to recognise herself in their traits, and ultimately heard the words that changed everything: “Oh, I think you're Autistic.”Together, Angela and Amy explore hyperlexia, auditory processing differences, late self-recognition, self-compassion, memoir writing as a reframing, ADHD medication, self-medication through alcohol and caffeine, and the shift from compliance-based education to connection-centred learning.This is a conversation about reframing failure, advocating fiercely, rewriting your past, and building systems that support autistic people across the lifespan.

This episode covers ADHD in children and adolescents.Notes: https://zerotofinals.com/paediatrics/camhs/adhd/Questions: https://members.zerotofinals.com/Books: https://zerotofinals.com/books/The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: Dr. Dawn demonstrates how to critically read a science paper using a widely-publicized study claiming adolescent cannabis use causes psychotic, bipolar, and anxiety disorders. She identifies multiple methodological problems: only 5.7% of Kaiser adolescents admitted cannabis use versus 11.2% in anonymous national surveys, suggesting massive underreporting; the study conflates any use with heavy use; and with 463,000 participants, trivially small differences become statistically significant but clinically meaningless. She proposes reverse causation—that prodromal schizophrenia symptoms may drive teens to self-medicate with cannabis rather than cannabis causing psychosis. The study also included "disruptive behavior disorder" diagnoses that lack rigorous criteria, and she notes diagnostic codes are sometimes chosen for insurance reimbursement rather than accuracy. While acknowledging high-dose THC before age 16 may affect brain development, she concludes the headlines claiming causation are not supported by the actual findings. Dr. Dawn discusses how aquaculture—now producing 60% of fish consumed globally—has become a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. More antibiotics per kilogram are used in fish farming than in any other animal agriculture, with drugs dissolving into water and sediment where bacteria develop resistance. One study found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in over 80% of shrimp species tested across multiple countries. Through horizontal gene transfer, these resistance genes spread to human pathogens—a 1991 Latin American cholera outbreak affecting nearly a million people may have acquired drug resistance from Ecuadorian shrimp farms. Dr. Dawn reports that the FDA rejected Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application without even reviewing it, despite trials of 41,000 people showing it was 27% more effective at preventing illness and 29% more effective at preventing hospitalization than existing vaccines. She attributes this to politicized anti-mRNA bias lacking scientific basis, noting that venture capital investors like Blackstone (who invested $750 million) will now avoid vaccine development, effectively handing this critical technology to other countries. Dr. Dawn describes the "wellness industrial complex"—pharmaceuticals, tech, testing companies, and health influencers creating content that pathologizes normal behaviors. YouTube health videos have amassed 200 billion views, and 30% of British respondents now get medical advice from AI chatbots. She cites a 400% increase in British adults seeking ADHD diagnoses, noting that analysis of top TikTok ADHD videos found less than 50% accurately reflected actual symptoms. Many influencers receive undisclosed payments to mention products, and the U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries allowing direct-to-consumer drug advertising. A caller asks about navigating Medicare after their Advantage plan was terminated with no local providers accepting remaining plans. Dr. Dawn explains that Medicare Advantage companies took extra government payments meant for wellness programs but didn't build them, and are now exiting markets as costs rise. She recommends contacting Gray Bears or AARP for free Medicare navigation assistance and suggests exploring regular Medicare with a secondary plan or direct-pay practices. /li>

If you're living in constant stress, you might be shrinking the part of your brain that helps you think clearly. In this episode, Dr. Majid Fotuhi breaks down burnout, brain fog, and why “everything feels hard.” You'll get a practical recovery plan built around sleep, movement, stress regulation, and neuroplasticity. And how to stop rumination before it rewires your brain in the wrong direction. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, forgetful, or like you're constantly behind, this conversation may shift how you understand stress and burnout. Chronic stress and burnout don't just affect your mood,  they impact brain health, memory, attention, and decision-making. When your brain isn't functioning well, everything feels heavier than it needs to. We talk about brain fog causes, how poor sleep disrupts your brain's nightly cleaning system, and why elevated cortisol over time can shrink the hippocampus. We also explore ADHD symptoms and attention struggles through a new lens. Are you dealing with true ADHD, or the effects of sleep deprivation, digital overload, and chronic stress? You'll hear practical ADHD tips, how to get rid of brain fog, and simple ways to build real stress resilience. This episode also dives into rumination and negative neuroplasticity, how repetitive negative thoughts strengthen neural pathways that reinforce burnout. The good news? The brain is malleable. You can interrupt those patterns and strengthen new ones. As you listen, I'd love for you to consider: What if feeling better isn't just about changing your thoughts — but about strengthening your brain? And what small shift this week could begin healing stress and burnout at the root?

It's not the blow-ups that do the most damage in a relationship — it's the quieter stuff. The look you misread, the deadline you missed again, the apology you've given so many times it stopped meaning anything. For those of us with ADHD, these small misconnections harden faster because we arrive already carrying a lifetime of being told we're too much or not enough. Dr. Dodge Rea is back to help us name what's really happening beneath the surface when relationships start to calcify.Dodge walks us through the concept of misattunement — the challenge of being both intact and in touch at the same time — and why ADHD brains and neurotypical brains can miss each other without anyone being at fault. He shares a powerful reframe: "It's not your fault and it's not your fate, but it is yours." Both partners have ownership work to do, and it starts with putting down the shame long enough to actually talk about what's hard. From the kitchen stepladder analogy to his expanded Ferrari metaphor, Dodge offers language that makes the invisible patterns in ADHD relationships finally feel speakable.Pete and Nikki bring their own experiences to the table — Pete on the fear of being "generalized forgetful" and Nikki on the compassion required from the non-ADHD partner. Together they explore why shame makes everything about your value, how all-or-nothing thinking accelerates the spiral, and what it looks like to meet your experience with authenticity instead of defensiveness.Links & NotesSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (02:57) - The Relational Toll of ADHD over Time with Dr. Dodge Rea (04:39) - Misattunement (17:25) - Conflict (26:45) - The 5'2" Story (39:49) - What Does The Work Look Like? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Sasha Hamdani (Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply) is a board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD clinical specialist. Sasha joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the classroom insurrection she started which led to her ADHD diagnosis, how her residency rebuilt the confidence that medical school degraded, and that symptoms known today as ADHD first showed up in the 1700s. Sasha and Dax talk about her beef with diagnostic labels and how often trauma is misdiagnosed as ADHD, how liberating it was to understand the way her brain functions, and neurological reasons why grief is so destabilizing for someone with ADHD. Sasha explains the importance of being able to emotionally regulate before conflict, her hot take on self-diagnosis, and non-stimulant, skills-based approaches that work well to treat ADHD.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What separates someone who'd donate a kidney to a stranger from someone who might steal one? Abigail Marsh explains the neuroscience of fear on part 1 of 2.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1292What We Discuss with Dr. Abigail Marsh:Psychopaths don't lack all emotion — they specifically lack the ability to recognize and feel fear. Where most people see terror on someone's face, a psychopath sees something unidentifiable — a deficit that fundamentally rewires how they relate to other humans.Many of psychology's most famous studies — the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Milgram shock test, the Kitty Genovese bystander story — turned out to be deeply flawed or outright fabricated. Humans are actually far more compassionate than these narratives suggest; CCTV data shows bystanders intervene 90% of the time.Psychopathy isn't caused by "bad parenting" in any simple way — it's a neurodevelopmental disorder with significant genetic heritability, much like autism or ADHD. Blaming parents echoes the same harmful logic that once attributed schizophrenia to "cold mothers."Household chaos — literal noise, inconsistent rules, revolving caregivers — makes it significantly harder for children to learn behavioral patterns. It's not just abuse that derails development; it's the inability to pick out a reliable signal from an overwhelming amount of environmental noise.The sweet spot of effective parenting — and really, of shaping better humans — is combining genuine warmth with consistent boundaries. Love without structure breeds entitlement; structure without love breeds resentment. But together, they build the foundation for compassion and resilience in any child.And much more...
