Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the problem was never that you were bad at learning, but that no one ever taught you how to learn in a way that fits your brain?Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer is the founder of Awakened Learning, bestselling author of Feel Good Learning and Raising Well Learners, and a learning strategist who helps students, families, educators, and leaders build systems that work in real life.Her work began with bright students who were struggling, not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right support. Over time, she realized that study skills alone were too narrow. What people really need are learning strategies that take attention, memory, time, well-being, and emotional capacity into account.In this episode, Tracy and Deena talk about why sleep matters for learning, how chunking tasks can reduce overwhelm, why learning styles are a myth, and how tools like NotebookLM, Magic To Do, and ChatGPT's study mode can support ADHD brains. If learning has ever felt harder than it should, this conversation is a reminder that struggling does not mean you are not smart. It may simply mean you have not been taught in a way that fits your brain.Resources:Website: https://www.awakenedlearning.ca/deena LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/deenakarashaffer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakenedlearning YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@awakenedlearning Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

This week I'm joined by the endlessly funny Kate Berlant, and we get into everything- from being “influenced” into buying literally everything, to caffeine addictions, routines we can't stick to, and the chaos of being chronically online. We talk about internet fame, impulse spending, and the very real struggle of trying to stay grounded while your brain is moving at 100 mph. Hope you enjoy!

Following her recent ADHD diagnosis, Melissa shares the changes she's been making and why understanding the brain itself can transform the way we approach mental health. They discuss the stigma surrounding stimulant medications and the differences between Adderall and Ritalin. Dr. Amen explains how brain scans can reveal the effects of past trauma and why the brain has a remarkable ability to heal. Melissa also shares the tools she's exploring to support her brain health including hormone balancing, saffron for PMS relief, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how these insights have shaped a more mindful, intentional approach to her life and wellness.You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/MWH15 and using code MWH15 at checkout.Visit dreamrecovery.io and use the code MWH15 for 15% off.

If you're celebrating the rare night when you don't have to get up to go to the bathroom… welcome. You are among friends. Sleep is one of my favorite topics. Penn and I often joke that I don't have FOMO (Fear of missing out) I have FOMS (Fear of missing sleep). As much as I love sleep, I also struggle with it. So this week, we invited Dr. Christopher J. Allen (also known as "Sleep Dr. Chris") to help us figure out why sleep gets harder as we age and what we can actually do about it.In this episode we talk about why our sleep changes in midlife, sleep hacks floating around TikTok, how ADHD may impact your sleep, and something many people overlook: Sleep Apnea. Dr. Chris explains how it can affect women, teens, and even kids and why untreated sleep apnea can leave you exhausted no matter how long you're "sleeping" for.We definitely walked away with some new ideas on how to help my sleep routine... because as you'll hear on the show being in bed is for three things only and they all start with "S" - Sleep, Sick, and... SANDWICHES! We hope this episode helps you have sweet dreams or at least it helps your sleep sucks a little less. We love to hear from you!

Hey Clutterbugs! Let's stop making piles and use tiny 1% changes to organize our homes without overwhelm. In this podcast, we're using Japanese organizing ideas (Kaizen, 5S, Wabi-Sabi, “Mottainai”) to declutter, build simple systems, and keep the house tidy longer. And we're doing this together (not in a “make 47 piles and cry about it for 60 days” way). This is a mini‑challenge episode where you make tiny micro improvements while you listen . . . and end the podcast feeling weirdly proud of yourself.We're talking:Kaizen: small steps that actually add up (especially for ADHD brains)Why pulling everything out is a trap (and what to do instead)The “don't go on Amazon for bins” rule (you know who you are)The 5S system (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain) — Toyota vibes, but for your houseMottainai (“what a waste”): the guilt-free decluttering mindset shiftWabi-Sabi organizing: good‑enough systems that are easy to maintainLet's get to it!

Hey team! This week, I'm talking with Dr. Anupriya Gogne, a psychiatrist at Brown University Health in Rhode Island. Dr. Gonge works at the crossroads of addiction psychiatry and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a specific focus on treating ADHD during pregnancy and the postpartum period. She's dedicated to clearing up the misinformation surrounding medication safety during pregnancy, which can be seen in her book, Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women: Special Considerations in the Perinatal Period. In our conversation, we dive into why hormonal fluctuations turn ADHD symptoms into a "perfect storm," the actual science behind "mom brain," and why your internal systems for keeping your life together tend to implode the moment a baby enters the picture. We also get into the nuances of how ADHD presents in women versus men, specifically regarding internal hyperactivity and emotional regulation. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/281 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips When ADHD symptoms suddenly appear or worsen, it's often not because the brain has changed, but rather that the environment's demands have finally exceeded the brain's compensatory systems. When life transitions occur, such as having a child, external chaos disrupts the systems that previously helped keep the ADHD in check. Chronic sleep deprivation isn't just being tired; it's also a failure of the memory consolidation system. While we are in deep sleep, our brain is encoding the day's events. If you aren't getting those stages, your working memory cannot function properly. These memory issues then compound with ADHD symptoms which can make it feel like you are experiencing early-onset dementia. In many adults, and especially in women, hyperactivity often isn't physical; instead, it's mental. It can manifest as negative self-talk on a loop, racing thoughts, or just feel like you have too many tabs open in your brain. Shifting the mental model to see internal ruminating as a form of hyperactivity helps identify the need for mental breaks rather than just physical outlets.

In this episode of the Translating ADHD podcast, Asher and Dusty explore the challenges and opportunities involved in creating routines that work well for people with ADHD. They emphasize starting with what you already do and finding ways to add value without overcomplicating or overengineering your daily habits. The hosts discuss how routines don't have to be perfect or rigid but should instead be adaptable to individual capacity, positionality, and life seasons. They also provide real-life examples of small adjustments, such as using waiting times productively or breaking down tasks into manageable chunks, to help listeners build sustainable daily practices. Asher and Dusty also highlight the importance of self-awareness in designing routines, pointing out that some people thrive on structure while others need flexibility and novelty to stay engaged. They caution against forcing generic advice like strict checklists onto everyone and encourage listeners to find their own balance between formal systems and going with the flow. Ultimately, they remind listeners that routines serve the purpose of making life easier and more fulfilling, not more stressful or overwhelming. The key takeaway is that progress matters more than perfection and that routines should be tailored to fit one's unique needs and energy levels.

Being good at your job and being in the right job are not the same thing. For lawyers who are high achievers, that distinction can be almost impossible to see when every external signal, strong reviews, steady advancement, a reputation for getting things done, is telling you that you must be in the right place.That disconnect often has roots in neurodiversity or trauma history. Both can produce someone who is exceptionally good at pushing through, sublimating their own needs, and performing under conditions that are genuinely harmful to their mental, physical, and emotional health. And because the external picture looks fine, it can be very hard to see.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah Cottrell walks through why this happens, how ADHD, PTSD, and CPTSD can all factor in, why the belief that achievement equals worth makes it so hard to let go even when something is hurting you, and why therapy is such an important part of unraveling it.0:30 - Why lawyers who are high achievers can be good at something that is not sustainable for them1:28 - The "I can do this so I should do this" trap and why external markers are not the whole picture3:24 - How ADHD brains create urgency to initiate tasks and what that costs your nervous system4:28 - Why doing well as a lawyer can feel like proof you are meant to stay5:16 - How PTSD and CPTSD factor in and why so many lawyers are highly adapted to deal with difficult conditions6:43 - How perfectionism develops as a survival strategy and why it follows lawyers into their careers7:41 - The belief that you are only valuable when you are achieving and why it makes it so hard to leave8:36 - Why therapy matters so much for lawyers who are high achievers thinking about leaving10:01 - What Sarah wants you to know if the job is crushing you but you feel like you have to stayMentioned In Why High-Achieving Lawyers Stay in Jobs That Are Hurting ThemSigns of Malignant Narcissism in the Legal Profession [TFLP 127]Does Being a Lawyer Lead to ADHD?

Do you feel like you have to perform to be accepted—at work, in relationships, even in your own self-talk? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, we're joined by Karin Velicka, a certified self-love and mindset coach, former professional athlete, and author of the upcoming book Dear Me Letters. Karin shares her journey from a high-achieving finance path to coaching and emotional healing, and offers practical tools for autistic and ADHD adults who are navigating self-doubt, people-pleasing, burnout cycles, and major career transitions. We talk about why "quick fixes" rarely stick, how to build self-trust through small consistent steps, and how to make self-compassion feel real (not forced or fake). In this episode, we cover: Signs you may need deeper inner work (overachieving, people-pleasing, weak boundaries) How to break limiting beliefs like "I'm not enough" and untangle generational patterns Why letter-writing can be more powerful than traditional journaling Self-love for neurodivergent adults: improving the inner dialogue without toxic positivity A gentle entry point to breathwork for trauma, overwhelm, or sensory discomfort (eyes open is okay) How autistic professionals can reduce overwork guilt with boundaries and "schedule a date with yourself" Career transition clarity: radical honesty, courage, and walking with fear instead of letting it stop you Why slow progress is real progress—and how to celebrate it Guest: Karin Velicka Instagram: velicka.karin Website / Book updates: VelickaKarin.com (upcoming: Dear Me Letters) If you found this episode helpful, follow Adulting with Autism, leave a review, and share it with someone searching for autism self-love, mindset coaching, people-pleasing recovery, burnout, or career transition support

In this episode of The Dyslexic Entrepreneur, Stephen explains why dyslexic and neurodivergent thinkers may have a natural advantage in the age of AI. Instead of competing with AI, he encourages people to see it as a powerful tool like a camera crew to a director or a sous chef to a head chef.Dyslexic minds often excel at pattern recognition, creativity, and big-picture thinking, which are exactly the skills needed to guide AI effectively. As technology evolves, execution is becoming cheaper while strong ideas and problem-solving abilities are becoming more valuable. The key is learning to direct AI and combine it with your personal experience and creativity.TakeawaysWork with AI, not against it.Think of yourself as the director and AI as the tool.Dyslexic strengths like pattern recognition and creativity are valuable in the AI era.Ideas and direction are becoming more important than execution.Start experimenting with AI tools and learn by doing.Dyslexia and AI, dyslexic entrepreneur, neurodivergent thinking, AI for entrepreneurs, dyslexia strengths, AI creativity, future of work, neurodiversity and technology, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderaddednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, I'm talking about ADHD understimulation: what it is, why it feels so much bigger than boredom, and how it can leave you feeling physically stuck, mentally foggy, restless, or exhausted.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…    Emily: My sibling was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and has been taking ADHD medication for at least 5 years. In the IHP level one course we were learning about neurotransmitters and you were speaking about how having to much adrenaline and dopamine can cause behavioral issue among many other issues. My sibling has had behavioral issues such as compulsive lying, very impulsive, and it seems that she does not think though any of her actions as if her actions have no consequences. Its beyond the normal rebellious teen. I was curious if this could possibly be due to the adhd medication that she has been taking? If so, can you please explain? What labs should we run? How would someone wean off adhd meds? Any other recommendations? Thank you!       Andy: I'd love to get your professional opinion on Mitopure (urolithin A). What does the current research say about its effectiveness for mitochondrial health and longevity, and do you see real-world benefits in your patients or practice?      Sarah: Hello! My husband and I own and operate a diesel truck repair shop and have been in business for 11 years. During that time, I've had regular exposure to diesel exhaust, fumes, solvents, and shop air. Over the past few years, I've experienced some ongoing health concerns (inflammation, fatigue, gut issues) and am wondering whether long-term exposure could be contributing. I'm interested in a functional medicine approach to evaluate possible toxic burden or inflammation and to understand what testing, lifestyle changes, or supplements might help support lung health, detox pathways, and overall wellness. I'm looking for a proactive, preventative approach while continuing to run our business. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!      Anonymous: I started listening to your podcasts a few years ago, and I've learned how to improve my health and quality of life in many ways—so thank you for sharing your knowledge! Question: My heavy metals test showed high levels of mercury and aluminum. Recently started processes to remove them: functional medicine detox (5 days) > intestinal cleanse (2 days) > heavy metal detox (30+ days, still going), and another intestinal cleanse (2 days on 30th day). Feeling mentally and physically better - like my "old self" again. When I started the HM detox, my bowel movements started having a strong smell and causing my anus to itch. Is that due to an elimination of heavy metals or due to ingredients in the detox or cleanse? Thanks.      Pete: Hi Stephen, Thanks for the great work you do. I wake up every night once (sometimes twice) to urinate and would love your thoughts on how to sleep through the night. Some background: I'm a 40-year-old male, generally healthy, eat clean, and don't drink alcohol. I stop eating about three hours before bed and limit fluids in the evening. No caffeine after noon. During the day I also urinate frequently, which I can manage. At night the volume is small, but the urgency signal is strong. I've been checked by a doctor (including prostate), everything looks normal, and I've tried a few medications with limited effect. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on any protocols or angles that might be worth exploring.

Throwback to when Camille's weekends contained 16 bottles of wine, and a day contained 80 cigarettes for Luis. Wine and cigarettes respectively calmed and stimulated their neurodivergent brains into surviving. They no longer need wine or cigarettes because they live in alignment with their interests and capacity: part of the process was learning to live lives that fascinated them. In month 6 of the ADHD slow group, we dive into how to cultivate a fascinating life for ourselves.   A fascinating life isn't a life of luxury, it's learning to notice what lights us up, and following that interest. It can be as simple as buying rhinestone pens instead of plain black pens. It can be taking out books from the library on our latest hobby curiosity. Our neurodivergent baseline is low dopamine. Modern lifestyles deplete our dopamine further. We need a life so interesting to us it makes us want to get out of bed in the morning, effectively making life the stimulant. They also talk about month 5 of the course, which is all about being in relationship with someone who is neurodivergent or overwhelmed. For example, Camille needed silly shows after a day of cognitive heady interactions. Her husband needed cognitive shows after a day teaching young children. Their solution was game shows giving Camille an element of play, and her husband cognitive stimulation. To learn more about how to support ADHD join us tomorrow, March 16 for our free webinar: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/march-food-therapy-eventThis slow group is suitable for people who are neurodivergent, want to relate to people who are neurodivergent, or are suffering from burnout and chronic freeze.

In this episode, Gary and Shannon discuss the growing awareness of ADHD and its impact on women, citing a recent study that identifies three distinct brain biotypes of the condition. They also explore the changing landscape of social media, specifically the use of burner phones and fake accounts, and how AI is making it easier to detect these online personas. The conversation touches on the intersection of technology and human behavior, raising questions about the consequences of our online actions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 If you've ever told yourself you're lazy, undisciplined, or just “bad at finishing,” this episode might reframe everything.In this episode of the Write It Scared podcast, I talk with book coach and editor Nicole Ross about how ADHD impacts a writer's mindset, motivation, and process—especially for those diagnosed later in life. We unpack the shame spiral so many writers fall into, why traditional writing advice doesn't work for everyone, and how diagnosis can open the door to self-compassion and smarter systems.We also talk about her book A Novel Approach: Strategies for ADHD Writers (co-written with Kirsten Donaghey), including practical tools for overcoming paralysis, managing shiny object syndrome, and using outlines to reduce overwhelm and actually finish.If you've struggled with consistency or focus, this one is equal parts strategy and permission to be kinder to yourself.Timestamps 00:00 The Writing Advice Shame Spiral 01:41 Meet Nicole + Her Book 05:46 Late ADHD Diagnosis + Mindset Shift 13:51 Building Better Writing Systems 17:03 ADHD Creative Strengths 27:14 Motivation + Shiny Object Syndrome 32:02 Why Outlines Help 37:35 Paralysis vs. Procrastination 41:12 Final EncouragementYou can learn more about Nicole and her work here:

What happens when you're diagnosed with ADHD at 56—after a lifetime of dyslexia, chaos, big wins, big losses, and school trauma that taught you you'd never be "enough"? In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we talk with John O'Shea, author of NeuroSpicy, about late diagnosis, anger and shame, the nervous system cost of being punished for learning differently, and how ADHD isn't a deficit of attention—it can be an overload of thoughts "like a V8 with no brakes." John shares how the end of his 32-year marriage pushed him into rock bottom—and why writing became a lifeline. He also explains why ADHD and dyslexia can be both a superpower and kryptonite, and what it takes to build resilience without staying trapped in failure as a "comfort blanket." In this episode, we cover: What it feels like to get an ADHD diagnosis later in life (and why it mattered more to others than to John) School trauma, humiliation, and why criticism can trigger rage in ADHD/dyslexic adults Anger as armor: shame, rejection sensitivity, and emotional overflow The "fast brain" experience: overload vs "attention deficit" Why ADHD people can be scattered and intensely focused (hyperfocus) The Hawaii customs story: literacy shame, humiliation, and consequences Reframing neurodivergence: "we don't need fixing—we need understanding and tools" What the education system should change (and John's plan for an ADHD/dyslexia empowerment course) Imposter syndrome and "fake it till you make it" as a practical survival tool Tools John uses to regulate: meditation, gym, sauna, grounding, and presence practices Where to find the book and John's work Connect with John O'Shea: Website / book: https://neurospicy.life Discount code: ABC25

What if the problem isn't your child—but the environment they're expected to learn in?In this episode, Cheryl talks with Corianda “Corey,” a homeschooling mom of six living in Spain, about raising neurodivergent kids and what happened when traditional school stopped working for her family. With three sons on the autism spectrum and experiences with ADHD, Corey began questioning whether the system was actually designed to help children like hers thrive.She shares how her family transitioned from the UK school system to homeschooling, how environment and freedom dramatically changed her children's confidence, and why self-directed learning can be especially powerful for neurodivergent kids. Cheryl and Corey also discuss worldschooling, socialization outside the classroom, learning to read when children are truly ready, and why giving kids agency over their time can unlock creativity and real-life skills.Today Corey runs a worldschooling community in Spain where homeschooling families gather to learn, explore, and grow together.If you're a homeschooling parent—or considering home education for a neurodivergent child—this conversation will open your mind to what's possible.Find Corey here: www.shepherdsrest.org  Facebook: www.facebook.com/shepsrest Instagram: www.instagram.com/shepsrest

Of course someone with ADHD forgot their ADHD medication. In this episode, we're getting into the beautifully ironic disaster of leaving your ADHD pills at home and only realizing it once you're hundreds of miles away, about to spend four days walking backwards across college campuses while your daughter decides her future.We're talking about what those days actually feel like without your medication: the brain fog, the overstimulation, the trying-to-read-a-campus-map-while-someone-is-talking-to-you experience. And the reality of living with ADHD.And underneath all of it the pressure of wanting to be locked in and fully present for your daughter during a trip that actually matters.Spoiler: you survived. And it might have even been a little funny in retrospect.A story about ADHD, road trips, and showing up for your kid even when your brain has left the building. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper and dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try to find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Use of Cosmetics in Pregnancy and Neurotoxicity: Can it Increase the Risks of Congenital Enteric Neuropathies?" That's a lot. In this, the authors explore the hypothesis of neurotoxins such as microplastics, parabens, benzophenones, phthalates, and metals that can cross the placental barrier and disrupt the development of the fetal nervous system.

A listener has a question about the diagnosis of ODD, oppositional defiant disorder. What does this diagnosis mean, what does this label offer families, and why (in Lynn's and others' opinion) is it inadequate and even harmful in understanding children who are struggling? The bigger question to ask: how do we help kids and parents when behavior is unmanageable? Here are the past Flusterclux episodes discussed by Lynn & Robin: Real Talk with ADHD Expert Ryan Wexelblatt: Anxiety, ADHD and the Mess We're In Helping Your ADHD Kid with Social Struggles: A New Conversation with ADHD Expert Ryan Wexelblatt How to Help Your Child with Friendships and Likability "Parents Still Matter!"

Barry and his guest David Kaufer engage in a “no holds barred” critique of the small group of naysayers who have challenged the rights of non-and minimally, speaking people to have access to their preferred and most effective modes of communication. David shares his knowledge from two perspectives, a dad whose teenage son has experienced success with assisted communication, and as an author and advocate for autistic individuals who has a sharp eye for calling out the misinformation and hypocrisy of those who challenge the lived experience of countless non-speakers, family members and professionals. As part 2 of this three-part series, we also specify how evidence-based practice has been misrepresented by the naysayers.Learn more on our websiteCheck out the episodes on this special seriesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP:183 | In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I'm breaking down what it really means to be a sensory seeker—and why this might be the missing link in understanding your nervous system. You've probably already heard about regulation, dysregulation, and fight or flight, but almost no one is talking about the sensory system as the language of your brain and body. That's where everything changes. I'm sharing from my own lived experience as both a sensory seeker and a sensory avoider, and why your “too muchness” is actually a sign of a brilliant, fast-moving brain—not that you're broken, lazy, or destined for burnout. We'll talk about: What a sensory seeker really is and how it shows up in adults (constant multitasking, needing movement, noise, pressure, novelty) How these patterns are often misunderstood as ADHD, impulsivity, distraction, or “bad behavior” How this same wiring can lead to overworking, anxiety, burnout, emotional eating, and feeling like you can never slow down Why things like weighted blankets, movement, heavy work, music, and oral input (like chewing, crunching, gum) can be powerful regulating tools The difference between quick fixes (like “reset your nervous system in 30 seconds”) and the real, long-term work of actually rewiring your nervous system How to stop fighting your brain and start working with it so you can finally feel calmer, clearer, and more at peace in your own body I'll also share honestly about my own 7–8 year journey of learning how to step off the gas pedal, find the brakes, and “throttle” between the two—so I'm not living in constant peaks and crashes, but more like rolling hills. If you recognize yourself (or your child) in this episode, I want you to know this: You are not too much. You are not broken. Your brain is wired for more input, more movement, and more life—and when you learn how to support it, that becomes your superpower. If this episode hit home for you, share it with someone who has been labeled “too much”—a friend, a partner, or a parent raising a high-energy kiddo. And if you're ready to go deeper and learn how to regulate your unique nervous system (not just follow generic Instagram tips), make sure you subscribe, leave a review, and come connect with me on Instagram @brookeweinst for more real-talk about the brain, body, and parenting.   Links & Resources:

In this episode, we break down how Bloom went from a niche greens powder brand to a nine-figure CPG powerhouse, the marketing psychology behind selling out products and using "restocked" as your most powerful word, why product will always beat branding, how they used Amazon dominance as a launchpad into major retail, and what it really takes to compete with the monsters of the beverage world.Check out Greg here:https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@GregLaVecchia⁩  https://www.instagram.com/greglavslife/Timestamps00:00 - Intro00:01:08 - Bloom's Origin Story00:01:56 - Bootstrapping to $180M and the NutriBullet Partnership00:02:23 - Keurig Dr Pepper Deal and 70,000 Doors00:03:09 - Performance Marketing vs. Brand Building00:03:39 - Growing Mari's Personal Brand Through Meta Ads00:04:16 - Booty Bands, Pre-Workout, and How Bloom Was Born00:04:52 - Why You Need to Launch to a Hyper Specific Niche00:05:39 - Scared Money Doesn't Make Money00:06:57 - The Meme Page Strategy That Unlocked Everything00:08:05 - Finding Customers When They're Not Looking for You00:08:39 - How the Influencer Marketing Playbook Changed00:10:02 - Building the Largest In-House Influencer Network00:11:20 - Stan Store00:12:27 - Scaling TikTok and the Creator Brand Stigma00:13:47 - Using Amazon and Target as Validity Markers00:14:26 - How They Redirected Their Entire Community to Amazon00:15:41 - Becoming the #1 Health Product on Amazon00:16:12 - Competing against Amazon supplements00:22:16 - The Flavor Formulation Process00:23:08 - Getting Better Terms From Manufacturers00:24:10 - Why Small Goals Take the Same Effort as Massive Ones00:25:31 - Thinking Month to Month and Staying Nimble00:26:52 - Hiring Mistakes and Copying the Wrong Org Chart00:28:23 - Why Hiring From Red Bull and Monster Backfired00:29:30 - How Many People Are at Bloom00:30:09 - The Business Mishap That Led to the NutriBullet Partnership00:30:47 - The McLaren Moment That Changed Everything00:31:47 - Why VCs Wouldn't Touch an Energy Drink Company00:32:42 - Meeting Dos Cunningham and Selling 30% of the Business00:34:07 - Why High Barrier Categories Are Actually Easier00:34:46 - Getting Frustrated With the Nutrition Space00:35:26 - How Much Capital You Need to Launch a Beverage Brand00:36:14 - How Each Bloom Business Funded the Next00:37:45 - The $1.3M Black Friday and Selling Out Overnight00:41:05 - "Restocked" Is the Most Powerful Word in Marketing00:42:15 - Greg's Relationship With Money00:44:21 - How Becoming a Father Changed the Way He Operates00:45:06 - Delayed Gratification 00:47:09 - Longevity Mindset and Protecting Yourself00:48:45 - ADHD as a Superpower00:49:03 - Brutal Mistakes Brands Make Going Into Energy00:51:41 - Organic Marketing and Founder Content00:53:22 - Building the Right Team for Social00:55:18 - Why Greg Waited to Build His Personal Brand00:57:00 - The Valley of Despair in Building a Business00:59:06 - Getting Your Testosterone Checked01:03:46 - Selling Candy in School01:05:26 - What Greg Has Learned From Billionaires01:06:55 - Greg's Superpower: Consistency and Routine01:08:27 - Designing Your Life Around Your ADHD01:10:46 - Why Greg Doesn't Touch Spreadsheets01:14:36 - Using Data vs. Gut Feeling for Product Decisions01:15:54 - Why Greg Hates Being the First Mover01:17:42 - What Bloom Learned From Being in Target and Walmart01:19:34 - Getting Robbed by the Cartel01:22:34 - What a Full Bloom Marketing Campaign Looks Like Today01:23:42 - Staggering Your Launch Moments01:31:15 - The After PartyIf you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!

Many adults with ADHD struggle with tools that seem simple at first but quickly become overwhelming. Dashboards full of icons, systems that require too many clicks, and constantly changing interfaces can quietly drain focus.In this episode of ADHD Skills Lab, Skye and Robbie explore practical ADHD work systems that reduce visual overload and make digital tools easier to navigate.Earlier this week, they explored research on object recognition memory in ADHD and why visual systems like software interfaces can create unexpected cognitive load.This episode focuses on what to do about it.They walk through practical ways to simplify work systems, stabilize digital environments, and design tools that support ADHD focus instead of constantly disrupting it.Start with Wednesday's research episode before this one. This conversation builds directly on the findings discussed there.What We CoverWhy constantly changing tools create friction for ADHD brainsDesigning stable digital systems that reduce cognitive loadHow visual clutter quietly drains focusPractical ways to simplify your work environment P.S.

If you're a parent, you might expect yourself to automatically have the right skills and inherent ability to help your child thrive. Yet no matter your child's age, you've likely found that parenting is no easy task. As every child is unique, even the most well-prepared parents often find themselves struggling. If issues such as neurodivergence and trauma enter the picture, things can get even more challenging. And because there's no single tip that fits all situations, today's top expert, Dr. Debra Kessler, has an impressive array of research-backed strategies that can help children–and their parents–become more self-aware, resilient, and confident. Topics discussed include neurodiversity, ADHD, trauma, bullying, IFS, Internal Family Systems, dominant culture, parenting, attunement, healing, school, emotions, emotional intelligence, ruptures, repairs, compassion, confidence, resilience, self-awareness, emotional connection, children, empowerment, and well-being.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

If you've ever spent an entire day performing a version of yourself that felt nothing like the real you — holding it together at work, seeming calm when you're not, passing as organized — you already know something about masking. But knowing it and understanding it are two different things. Dr. Sharon Saline returns to help Pete and Nikki unpack what masking actually is: hiding traits, suppressing impulses, and overcompensating to appear more polished than you feel. It's a coping mechanism that can be useful, but for adults with ADHD, chronic masking carries real costs — increased anxiety, emotional exhaustion, a growing disconnect between who you show the world and who you actually are.One of the most important distinctions in this conversation is the difference between masking and presentation. We all show up differently in different contexts — there's a version of you at work, with close friends, with your partner. That's not masking; that's healthy. Masking is specifically about hiding, about a core sense of deficiency that says if people see the real me, they'll reject me. Sharon traces this directly to the social anxiety spectrum — and to the RSD, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome that so many with ADHD know intimately.So what does it look like in practice? Saying yes when you mean no. Staying quiet when you have something to say. Overpreparing to look like you know everything so no one discovers you feel like you know nothing. And at work, pretending you have it all under control when you're drowning — rather than simply asking for what you need. Sharon draws a crucial line between protective masking (I will never feel safe here) and productive masking (I don't feel comfortable yet) — and that distinction is where the path forward starts to open up.Lowering the mask isn't about tearing it off all at once. It's about identifying the patterns — the people and places where you've felt safe before — and using those as your guide. It's about noticing the physical sensation of safety when it shows up, and recognizing that you deserve spaces in your life where you don't have to perform in order to belong. Sharon also reminds us that for AuDHD people especially, masking has often been an essential survival tool, and that owning your challenges with honesty — and even humor — is ultimately far less exhausting than the alternative.Links & NotesDr. Sharon Saline — drsharonsaline.comSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:58) - When Masking is a Strategy (03:18) - What is Masking? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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?
