André, The Impulsive Thinker™, digs into the realities of ADHD medication resistance and titration, reflecting on insights from Dr. Dodson's recent visit. As an ADHD Entrepreneur, you know there's no one-size-fits-all with meds—André shares his personal journey through medication trials, dosage adjustments, and the hunt for that elusive “right fit.” This quick-hit episode breaks down why ADHD medication isn't a fix-all, but a tool to level the neurological playing field. Listen in for practical strategies on working with your practitioner, setting targets, and owning your ADHD journey—because growth-minded Entrepreneurs deserve clarity, not shortcuts.   www.dodsonadhdtreatment.com

ADHD and money. It's a combination that's often misunderstood—and rarely addressed with the nuance and compassion it deserves. For those living with ADHD, traditional financial advice like “just follow a budget” or “build good habits” can feel like a mismatch, leaving many feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even ashamed.Joining us today is Nicole Stanley, founder of Arise Financial Coaching and a money coach who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. That diagnosis reshaped her understanding of not only herself, but how she managed her money—and how she now helps others do the same.In this deeply personal and practical conversation, Nicole shares how her ADHD shaped her early money behaviors, why typical budgeting tools never worked for her, and how she built systems rooted in self-compassion, automation, and yes—dopamine.Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect it, or simply feel like the standard personal finance advice doesn't “stick,” this episode offers a roadmap to creating a financial life that feels not just doable—but motivating and empowering.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with renowned adult ADHD psychiatrist Dr. William Dodson to tackle the confusing process of ADHD medication management for Entrepreneurs. Together, they break down why finding the right medication and dose is far from one-size-fits-all. Dr. Dodson reveals why targeting specific symptoms, understanding the blood-brain barrier, and personalized titration matter more than body weight or standard protocols. Discover what ADHD meds can—and cannot—actually do, how to think about “target symptoms,” and why collaboration with your prescriber matters. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur struggling to dial in your meds, this episode is a must-listen.

Pour yourself a coffee and settle in for this incredibly honest conversation with Sophie, where we dive deep into her ADHD diagnosis journey, how she's built a business that actually works WITH her brain rather than against it, and why being bold enough to repel the wrong clients has transformed everything.

If you've ever invested time or money into a “sure thing” that fizzled, or found yourself insisting, “this time I'll stick to my schedule!” (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary), you're not alone. We are talking about cognitive biases, those sneaky mental shortcuts that shape our decisions, our stories, and, often, our downfalls.Cognitive biases aren't unique to ADHD brains; they're a universal human feature. They are one of the tools evolution handed us to allow for snap decisions instead of getting overwhelmed by information. But for those of us with ADHD, these shortcuts don't always get us where we want to go. Sometimes, they spark innovation, but other times, they lead us straight into frustration or failure.Drawing inspiration from Vicki Tan's book “Ask This Book a Question,” we'll break down why our ADHD brains are uniquely wired to fall into these “mind traps,” from relentless optimism and the sunk cost fallacy, to judging ourselves and others with double standards. But it's not all doom and gloom: you'll find out how understanding these biases can help you harness them as tools, create better decision-making habits, and transform your relationship with your business and your team. Let's unravel the stories we tell ourselves—and learn how to write better ones.Here's what you'll learn in this episode:What cognitive biases are, and which ones our ADHD brains are most prone to The Optimism Bias - why we are grossly unrealistic about how much time and energy things take, and how to calibrate your big dreams.The Fundamental Attribution Error—why we give ourselves grace but judge our team, clients, and competitorsSunk Cost Fallacy— why we can't let go of things we've worked hard at, even when they are doomed to fail My personal hacks for reality checking, perspective shifting, and accountability building, and my four-step “fresh start” framework.Tools to reset your decision-making: decision journals, external accountability, and Post-its that help you keep your eye on those sneaky bias blindspots Spoiler alert: Cognitive biases aren't a bug; they are a feature. These mental shortcuts are part of the brain's operating manual. The key isn't to eliminate them, but to learn how to spot them and flip them into tools for smarter (and kinder) entrepreneurship.

In this episode, I'm joined by cognitive psychologist and ADHD expert Eliza Barach to explore the brain-based differences that drive many of the challenges (and strengths!) that come with ADHD.   Together we cover:   The neuroscience of an ADHD brain and why having this basic knowledge can be so impactful for your parenting! How understanding the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine are important aspects of understanding your child (or yourself!) with ADHD. Why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to all forms of addictions. And while our culture rewards some addictive behaviors (like workaholism) while condemning others, both can have negative impacts on your mental health. How to make transitions easier for your child with ADHD. (Want to learn more about this topic? Check out episode 295. How can I get my child with ADHD go from one activity to the next without a fight?) Specific and real-life strategies parents can implement to add more stimulation to boring tasks that will decrease the amount of fights and power struggles between you and your child. Why kids with ADHD are so prone to meltdowns and how pointing out the logic to your child in these hot moments can help lay the foundation for more self-regulation in the future. (But, only if you do so in the "right" way.) Activating your child's Task Positive Network can be regulating for the nervous system—what parents can do to get this part of your child's brain to turn on. The failing of the system for diagnosis of ADHD, especially in girls and marginalized communities, and why getting a diagnosis is so vital for allowing proper support for a person's unique strengths and challenges.  If you've ever wondered whether your child might have ADHD, felt unsure how to support them without constant conflict, or simply wanted to better understand their needs, this episode is packed with clarity, compassion, and expert insights you can put into practice right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: https://www.neural-revolution.com/   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:

ADHD is not just an attention disorder; it's an executive functioning disorder.The myths abound!If you've always thought of kids with ADHD as those who struggle in school, think again.If you expect ADHD kids to have trouble focusing, wrong again.If you think kids with ADHD are destined to struggle more throughout life, Mike McLeod is here to tell you that ADHD is not a limitation, just a different path.The ADHD brain is truly different from neurotypical brains, although some truths apply to both groups, like:Children learn best through play and unstructured time.Outdoor play is vital for developing real-world skills.Boredom is essential for self-regulation and creativity.Cooking teaches kids self-sufficiency and life skills.Unstructured time is crucial for children's development.Parents should set high expectations for their children.Removing screens can reveal hidden talents in kids.Parents need to place more importance on chores & balancing structure and freedom.Parents of kids with or without ADHD need the information in this episode, but especially stuff like this:Screen time can exacerbate ADHD symptoms, but it does not cause ADHD.The ADHD brain struggles with self-regulation and motivation for NON-preferred tasks.Varied experiences are vital for skill development.Executive functions are crucial for success in life.I love Mike's energy and expertise, like sitting at the feet of a master.

In this episode, Kate is joined by Kelly Smith, an ADHD advocate, meditation teacher, and founder of Yoga For You, to explore how meditation and mindfulness can become powerful tools for those with ADHD. With a background in neuroscience and personal experience with ADHD, Kelly shares how short, daily practices like breathwork, grounding, journaling, and visualisation can help calm the nervous system, regulate emotions, and improve focus.Together, we bust the myth may meditation myths and explore how just 8–12 minutes of intentionality each day can rewire the brain to reduce overstimulation, increase dopamine and GABA, calm the amygdala, and strengthen the prefrontal cortex.Whether you're overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to start, this conversation offers practical ways to make meditation work for your ADHD brain and your unique lifestyle.What You'll Learn In This Episode:✨ The power of short, consistent meditation sessions, especially for ADHD brains✨ The neuroscience of mindfulness: how dopamine, GABA, the amygdala, and prefrontal cortex are involved in focus, anxiety reduction, and emotional regulation✨ How meditation helps reduce overstimulation and supports executive function✨ The difference between intentional introspection and overthinking✨ How grounding practices like prayer, journaling, or breathwork can build intentionality and future visioning✨ How to find a meditation style that suits your ADHD brain e.g. visualisation, body awareness, or focused breathing✨ Why visualising your “ideal self” can lead to subtle but powerful life changes✨ How meditation strengthens memory, emotional control, and clarity by rewiring the brain over time✨ Why mindfulness needs to be personal and consistent, not perfect Timestamps:

Pediatric neurologist Paige Kalika discusses her article, "Why ADHD kids struggle and how we can truly help," sharing insights from her perspective as a pediatric neurologist and parent of a child with ADHD. She outlines compassionate ways to talk to children about ADHD, starting by validating their efforts ("Are you trying harder?") and explaining that ADHD affects focus, not intelligence or worth. Paige emphasizes the importance of diagnosis as a tool to counteract negative self-labels ("lazy," "bad") that children internalize, reframing ADHD as having a brain that works differently, using analogies like the "Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes." The conversation addresses common parental concerns about medication, countering the "natural vs. unnatural" debate and explaining medication's role in addressing neurotransmitter differences, comparing it to "glasses for the brain" or a "bag with a hole" for scattered thoughts ("marbles"). Paige offers practical advice on finding the right medication, stressing that the goal is to empower "neurospicy" children to understand their unique brains and thrive.

In this enlightening episode of Authentically ADHD, host Sunny Sparks takes us on a whimsical journey into the science and art of rest—especially tailored for those of us with ADHD. The episode kicks off with a warm welcome and a reminder that true self-care isn't one-size-fits-all. Sunny introduces the “ADHD & Rest Tango,” explaining how the unique wiring of ADHD brains—characterized by altered dopamine dynamics, delayed sleep phase syndrome, and sensory overload—can make winding down a nightly challenge.The conversation then dives into the research behind why sleep can be so elusive, from our racing thoughts and creative bursts at midnight to environmental factors like blue light from screens. This sets the stage for exploring the “Seven Kingdoms of Rest”: physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, and spiritual. Each kingdom is described as a vital aspect of our well-being that needs its own form of rest to help balance our lives.Sunny offers a creative self-diagnostic tip by encouraging listeners to imagine their energy levels as a vibrant, multi-colored pie chart. By mapping daily activities to these seven types of rest, we learn how to identify which areas may be undernourished—transforming our self-care routine into an artful process of balance.To wrap up, the episode presents a practical 7-tip self-care segment, sharing real-life examples for each type of rest—from setting up a power nap schedule for physical rest to dedicating time for mindful sunrise moments for spiritual rest. Sunny concludes with an uplifting call-to-action to experiment with these strategies, reminding listeners that rest is not a luxury but a necessity for thriving with ADHD.Stay authentic, take time for each piece of your rest puzzle, and keep shining—even if it means burning the midnight oil sometimes!If today's episode resonated with you, share it with someone who might benefit and consider leaving a rating & review to help Authentically ADHD grow.Show notes: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGjTbREIYI/sFGNEj879Ye4x_zWl-W76Q/view?utm_content=DAGjTbREIYI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h8496660196Join FOCUSED: https://ihaveadhdllc.ontralink.com/t?orid=29951&opid=1Follow me on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/carmen_iraceThanks for reading!

Do you have a graveyard of unfinished projects? A closet full of abandoned hobbies? If so, you're in the right placeIn this episode, we're untangling the idea of being a "professional quitter" especially within the ADHD community. Many of us carry a narrative of shame around quitting, impacting our confidence and future goals. But what if we could reframe quitting as a strength?Join me as I explore why those with ADHD often find quitting easy, delving into the role of dopamine, our interest-based nervous system and executive function challenges. I'll share my own experiences with quitting, from abandoned baby massage dolls to nine jobs in ten years…We'll unpack:

Join us for a discussion about the importance of building in systems when you have ADHD and run a business. Justin Vajko is the founder of Dialog With Us. One of my favorite parts of the interview is when Justin shared his systems to help him support his ADHD. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview: 1. Content creation system Justin Vajko shares his content creation system that helps him consistently produce and publish content for his business. The system involves recording himself during client calls and podcasts, automatically uploading the recordings to Dropbox, and then having his team clip, write, and publish the content. This system helps Justin overcome his ADHD-related challenges with consistent content creation. Watch the 5 minute Systems Segment on YouTube 2. ADHD and building systems He discusses how his ADHD has impacted his work and life, and the importance of building systems to compensate for his weaknesses. He shares how he discovered his ADHD in high school and has since developed many systems and routines, like dedicated weekly time with his wife and friends, to help him stay organized and productive. .4 Delegating and reviewing work We discuss the importance of delegating tasks that play to one's strengths, and the challenges of building effective review processes. Justin acknowledges that reviewing work is a weakness for him, and they explore strategies for finding the right people to handle that responsibility. 5. Celebrating wins and expressing gratitude The conversation turns to the importance of celebrating wins and expressing gratitude, which Justin has struggled with in the past. They discuss how Justin's entrepreneurial mindset and ADHD can make it difficult to pause and appreciate progress, and the value of building systems to ensure consistent recognition of achievements. 6. Mentors and lessons learned He reflects on a former boss, John Eilie, who provided him with significant grace and support early in his career as he learned to build systems and overcome the challenges of his ADHD. He expresses gratitude for John's patience and guidance, which laid the foundation for Justin's current success. Key Takeaways: Justin leverages his ADHD as a strength in entrepreneurship, developing systems to compensate for challenges.Delegation and building a supportive team are crucial for managing ADHD-related struggles in business.Self-awareness and open communication about work styles help improve leadership and team dynamics.Systematic review processes and celebration of wins are areas for potential improvement in Justin's business Learn more about Justin Vajko over at Dialog Video Marketing.

Introduction:* Hi there, and welcome—or welcome back—to Authentically ADHD! I'm [Your Name], your host, fellow ADHDer, and your guide through the beautifully chaotic, wildly creative, and sometimes frustrating world of the ADHD brain.* Now, let me ask you something—have you ever heard someone say, “ADHD isn't real, it's just an excuse,” or “Oh, everyone gets distracted sometimes”? Maybe you've even doubted yourself, wondering, Am I really struggling, or am I just not trying hard enough?* Well, my friend, if any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Today, we're diving headfirst into the tangled web of myths and misconceptions that surround ADHD—the ones that leave people feeling misunderstood, dismissed, and frustrated.* But here's the good news: we're bringing the facts. The real, science-backed, brain-imaging, peer-reviewed, expert-approved truth about ADHD. Together, we're going to bust these myths wide open and replace them with knowledge, empowerment, and maybe even a few lightbulb moments along the way.* Are you ready? Lets get started!Segment 1: Debunking Common MythsADHD has been misunderstood for decades, leading to myths that undermine the experiences of those who live with it. In this segment, we'll break down two of the most common and damaging misconceptions about ADHD, using historical context and scientific research to separate fact from fiction.Myth 1: ADHD Isn't a Real Disorder—It's Just an Excuse for LazinessOne of the most pervasive myths about ADHD is that it isn't a legitimate medical condition—that it's just an excuse for laziness, lack of motivation, or poor self-control. But the reality is that ADHD has been recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder by leading medical organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).Historical Context & Scientific RecognitionADHD has been documented for centuries. As early as 1798, Scottish physician Sir Alexander Crichton described a condition in children characterized by inattentiveness and restlessness. In the early 20th century, researchers began studying what was then called “Minimal Brain Dysfunction,” a term that later evolved into ADHD as our understanding of the condition deepened.In 1968, the American Psychiatric Association formally recognized what we now know as ADHD in the second edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II), calling it “Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood.” Over the decades, extensive research has led to refinements in the diagnostic criteria, demonstrating that ADHD is not just a childhood disorder but one that persists into adulthood for many individuals.Neurological Studies & Brain Imaging EvidenceThanks to advancements in neuroscience, we now have concrete evidence that ADHD is a real, measurable brain-based disorder. Brain imaging studies, including fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and PET (positron emission tomography) scans, have revealed key differences in the brains of individuals with ADHD compared to neurotypical individuals.* Structural Differences: Research shows that people with ADHD often have smaller volumes in certain brain regions, particularly the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive functions like planning, impulse control, and attention regulation.* Dopamine Deficiency: ADHD is closely linked to dysfunction in the brain's dopamine system. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in motivation and reward processing. In people with ADHD, dopamine transporters clear the neurotransmitter too quickly, leading to difficulties with sustained attention, impulse control, and task persistence.* Delayed Brain Maturation: Studies have shown that the brains of children with ADHD tend to develop more slowly in key areas related to self-regulation and decision-making. This doesn't mean they're incapable—it just means their developmental timeline is different.So, ADHD isn't an excuse—it's a well-documented neurodevelopmental condition backed by decades of scientific research.Myth 2: ADHD Is Just a Lack of Discipline or Bad ParentingAnother damaging misconception is that ADHD is caused by a lack of discipline or ineffective parenting. This myth suggests that children (and adults) with ADHD simply need to “try harder” or that parents should be stricter to “fix” their child's behavior. However, scientific research overwhelmingly shows that ADHD is rooted in biology, not upbringing.Biological & Genetic FactorsADHD has a strong genetic component, meaning that if a parent has ADHD, their child is significantly more likely to have it as well. Studies estimate that ADHD is about 70-80% heritable, making it one of the most genetically influenced neurodevelopmental disorders.Twin studies have been particularly revealing:* Identical twins (who share nearly 100% of their genes) are much more likely to both have ADHD than fraternal twins (who share about 50% of their genes).* Adoption studies show that children with ADHD are more likely to have biological parents with the condition, regardless of their adoptive environment.Beyond genetics, prenatal and early life factors can also contribute to ADHD, such as:* Premature birth or low birth weight* Prenatal exposure to nicotine, alcohol, or environmental toxins* Differences in brain chemistry and structure that affect attention and impulse controlWhy the Parenting Myth PersistsADHD symptoms—such as impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity—can often be mistaken for behavioral issues caused by poor discipline. However, research shows that even children raised in highly structured, nurturing environments can still exhibit ADHD symptoms due to the biological nature of the disorder.That said, while parenting does not cause ADHD, it can influence how symptoms manifest. Parenting strategies that focus on understanding, routine, and positive reinforcement can help manage symptoms, but they don't "cure" ADHD.So, next time someone says ADHD is just a discipline issue, remember: it's a neurobiological condition that has been extensively studied, and science proves that it's much more than just “bad behavior.”Segment 2: Understanding ADHD Brain FunctionAlright, now that we've cleared up some of the most damaging myths about ADHD, let's get into the fascinating science of how the ADHD brain actually works. Because trust me—once you understand what's happening behind the scenes, everything starts to make a whole lot more sense.Brain Differences in ADHDOne of the biggest misconceptions about ADHD is that it's just a behavioral issue—when, in reality, it's deeply rooted in brain structure and function. Scientists have spent decades studying ADHD using advanced neuroimaging techniques like MRI and PET scans, and the results are eye-opening.Structural & Functional DifferencesStudies have shown that individuals with ADHD often have differences in the size and activity of certain brain regions compared to neurotypical individuals. Some of the most notable differences include:* Prefrontal Cortex: This is the brain's “CEO” responsible for decision-making, impulse control, focus, and organization. In people with ADHD, this area tends to be smaller and less active, which explains why things like planning, time management, and staying on task can be so challenging.* Basal Ganglia: This region plays a role in movement and reward processing. Researchers have found that people with ADHD often have differences in basal ganglia activity, which can contribute to hyperactivity and difficulty with delayed gratification.* Corpus Callosum: This is the bridge that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Studies suggest that in ADHD, there may be differences in the communication between the two sides, which can affect how efficiently the brain processes information.But the real kicker? It's not just how the ADHD brain is structured—it's how it communicates internally through neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.Dopamine & Norepinephrine: The ADHD Brain's Chemical MessengersDopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters, which are basically tiny messengers that help brain cells communicate. In ADHD, the way these chemicals are processed is different, leading to some of the core symptoms of the condition.* Dopamine: This neurotransmitter plays a major role in motivation, reward, and pleasure. In the ADHD brain, dopamine is often not regulated efficiently, meaning that everyday tasks don't provide the same sense of reward or urgency. That's why boring tasks feel physically painful to start—but something exciting? Instant hyperfocus.* Norepinephrine: This is involved in alertness and attention. In ADHD, there may be lower levels of norepinephrine, making it harder to sustain focus and filter out distractions.So, when people say, “You just need more discipline!”—nope. The ADHD brain is literally wired differently, and it's not a matter of willpower, but of brain chemistry.Executive Function Challenges: Why Organization, Planning & Impulse Control Are HarderNow, let's talk about executive function—because if you have ADHD, this is where the struggle gets real.What Are Executive Functions?Executive functions are the brain's self-management system—the skills that help us plan, prioritize, remember things, control impulses, and regulate emotions. Imagine them like the air traffic control center of your brain, making sure all your mental planes take off and land at the right time.In ADHD, this system doesn't operate as smoothly. It's like running airport operations during a thunderstorm—flights (aka thoughts) get delayed, rerouted, or crash into each other.How ADHD Affects Executive FunctionLet's break down three major executive function challenges and how research helps explain them:* Impulse Control & Inhibition* The prefrontal cortex (which helps with self-control) is less active in ADHD brains. This means impulsivity can take over—blurting things out, interrupting, acting before thinking.* Studies show that people with ADHD struggle more with delayed gratification, meaning the brain craves immediate rewards rather than long-term goals.* Working Memory & Mental Organization* Working memory is what helps us hold information in our minds while we use it—like remembering why you walked into a room or following multi-step directions.* Research shows that ADHD brains have weaker working memory abilities, which explains why you can read an email and forget what it said seconds later.* Planning & Time Management* Time perception in ADHD is fundamentally different. The ADHD brain doesn't track time linearly—it's either Now or Not Now.* MRI studies show less activation in the brain's time management areas, which explains why deadlines feel so distant—until they suddenly don't, and it's a full-blown panic.Real-World ExampleLet's say you have a report due in two weeks. A neurotypical brain naturally breaks it down: Start researching today, write a draft next week, and finalize it before the deadline.But an ADHD brain? It's like: ❌ “Plenty of time, I'll get to it later…” ❌ Forgets about it entirely. ❌ Remembers the night before and enters full panic mode.This isn't laziness—it's an actual difference in brain processing.Final Thoughts for This SegmentThe more we understand the science behind ADHD, the more we can work with our brains instead of against them. The next time you feel frustrated with yourself for forgetting something or struggling to focus, remember—it's not a character flaw. It's brain wiring.And the best part? Once you understand how your brain works, you can start using strategies that actually help. We'll get into that soon, but first—let's talk about the impact of these myths and misunderstandings on people with ADHD.Segment 3: The Impact of Myths on Individuals with ADHDAlright, now that we've broken down what ADHD actually is—and what it isn't—let's talk about something just as important: how these myths affect the people who live with ADHD every single day. Because as much as misinformation is frustrating, it's also harmful. The stigma and misunderstandings surrounding ADHD don't just exist in conversations or on social media—they have real, lasting consequences on self-esteem, relationships, education, and even career opportunities.The Weight of Stigma: The Psychological Toll of ADHD MythsImagine being told your whole life that you're just not trying hard enough. That if you cared more or were more disciplined, you'd be fine. For many people with ADHD, this is their reality. And over time, that kind of messaging doesn't just hurt—it starts to shape the way you see yourself.Research shows that individuals with ADHD are at a higher risk of developing anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, often because they've internalized these damaging narratives. When society tells you that ADHD isn't real, or that you're just being lazy, it's easy to start believing it yourself.Personal Stories: Living in the Shadow of MisinformationLet me share a story—one that might sound familiar to a lot of you.Take Sarah, for example. She was diagnosed with ADHD in her late 20s after struggling for years in school and at work. Growing up, she was always told, “You have so much potential if you'd just apply yourself.” Teachers called her distracted and unfocused, and when she forgot assignments or lost track of time, they chalked it up to irresponsibility.By the time she got to adulthood, she believed she was just bad at life. She thought she was a failure because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up with deadlines, stay organized, or focus in meetings. When she finally got diagnosed, it was a relief—but also heartbreaking. She realized she had spent years blaming herself for something that wasn't her fault.Stories like Sarah's aren't uncommon. The lack of understanding about ADHD doesn't just cause frustration—it can lead to deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. And when people don't have access to the right information, they might not seek the help they need, delaying proper treatment and support.This is why busting these myths matters. Because when we replace misinformation with education, we empower people to see their ADHD not as a flaw, but as a different way of thinking that comes with its own strengths and challenges.Segment 4: Dispelling Myths with ScienceNow that we've explored the harm that myths can cause, let's shift gears and talk about what actually works. ADHD isn't just “solved” by working harder or forcing yourself to focus—it requires evidence-based strategies that help support brain function, reduce symptoms, and make everyday life more manageable.Evidence-Based Treatments for ADHDDespite what some might say, ADHD is treatable. No, there's no magic “cure” that will make it disappear, but there are science-backed approaches that can significantly improve focus, impulse control, and overall well-being.1. Medication: A Tool, Not a CrutchADHD medications—like stimulants (such as Adderall and Ritalin) and non-stimulants (like Strattera)—help regulate dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. And despite common myths, they aren't about dulling someone's personality or making them dependent.Instead, think of medication as glasses for the ADHD brain—they don't change who you are, but they help things come into focus. Studies show that stimulant medications are effective for about 70-80% of people with ADHD, improving focus, impulse control, and working memory.2. Behavioral Therapies: Rewiring the ADHD BrainCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and ADHD coaching are powerful tools that help people develop skills to manage symptoms. Therapy can help with:* Time management and organization strategies* Emotional regulation techniques* Reframing negative self-talk that stems from years of feeling “not good enough”3. Lifestyle Adjustments: Daily Habits That Make a DifferenceADHD management goes beyond just medication and therapy—small lifestyle changes can make a huge impact. Some research-backed strategies include:* Exercise: Regular movement helps boost dopamine and improve focus.* Sleep hygiene: ADHD brains often struggle with sleep regulation, but prioritizing rest can help with focus and impulse control.* Diet and nutrition: While food isn't a “cure,” balanced meals with protein and healthy fats can support brain function.Educational & Workplace Accommodations: Setting People Up for SuccessOne of the most damaging myths about ADHD is that people just need to “push through” and “work harder” to succeed. But the truth is, when people with ADHD get the right accommodations, they thrive.1. ADHD in School: The Power of AccommodationsIn educational settings, simple supports can make a world of difference. Some examples include:* Extended time on tests or assignments to accommodate slower processing speeds.* Alternative work environments (like quiet spaces) to reduce distractions.* Access to audiobooks or speech-to-text software for students who struggle with reading or writing.Studies have shown that students with ADHD perform significantly better when given these accommodations—proving that the issue isn't about intelligence or effort, but about creating the right environment for learning.2. ADHD in the Workplace: Creating an ADHD-Friendly Career PathMany adults with ADHD struggle in traditional 9-to-5 jobs, not because they're incapable, but because workplaces aren't always designed for neurodivergent minds. Some game-changing accommodations include:* Flexible work schedules (because forcing focus at 8 AM doesn't work for everyone).* Task management tools and deadline reminders to support executive function.* Clear, written instructions rather than relying solely on verbal communication.Companies that implement ADHD-friendly policies often see higher productivity and job satisfaction from employees with ADHD. Because when people are supported, they do their best work.Final Thoughts: ADHD is Real, and So Are the SolutionsSo, let's bring it all together. ADHD is real, it's biological, and it's not caused by laziness or bad parenting. Myths and misinformation can be damaging, but when we replace them with knowledge and understanding, we empower individuals with ADHD to embrace who they are and access the support they deserve.If you take away one thing from this episode, let it be this: You are not broken. You are not lazy. Your brain just works differently—and that's okay. With the right tools, strategies, and support, you can build a life that works with your brain, not against it.

“Every child has the capacity to heal and grow, but it starts with meeting them where they are—with respect, curiosity, and an understanding of their unique needs.” – Lisa Dion In this episode, Lisa sits down with Tony Vallance from the Building Better Brains Clinic for a conversation about supporting children with ADHD through play therapy. ADHD is often misunderstood, but with the right tools and understanding, play therapists can help children tap into their strengths while navigating the challenges they face. This conversation also explores ADHD from a dual perspective—not only through the experiences of the children we work with but also by reflecting on how therapists who identify as neurodivergent or have ADHD/ADD engage with their clients. How do we navigate the "mirrors" or parts of ourselves we see reflected in the children we serve? Together, Lisa and Tony dive into: What Play Therapists Need to Know About ADHD: Tony explains the core characteristics of ADHD and how play therapy can help children manage the unique challenges of ADHD. Creating ADHD-Friendly Play Spaces: Practical tips on designing sensory-friendly, ADHD-conscious therapeutic environments that foster emotional regulation and focus. The ADHD Brain and Its Impact on Behavior: Insights into how ADHD affects cognitive functioning and behavior, and how play therapy helps children build strategies for resilience. Supporting Caregivers and Challenging Stigma: The importance of empowering parents and caregivers, and how to combat the societal stigma placed on children with ADHD. Integrating ADHD Strategies into Play Therapy: Practical strategies for play therapists to create more inclusive and effective therapy sessions. This episode will help therapists reflect on their own experiences, both as professionals and as individuals who may share similar neurodivergent traits with their clients. Tony's wealth of knowledge and lived-experiences provide valuable guidance for clinicians and caregivers alike. Tune in to explore the many perspectives on ADHD in play therapy and learn how to adjust your approach to make your practice more inclusive and supportive of neurodivergent children.

Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, where we explore the realities of living with ADHD—the science, struggles, and strengths. Host Carmen Irace delves into the debate of Consistency vs. Persistence, examining why one is more suited to ADHD brains than the other. This episode challenges conventional productivity wisdom and offers practical insights for sustainable success.The Expectation of Consistency: Consistency is often touted as key to success, yet for ADHD individuals, it can feel unattainable. Scientific insights reveal how ADHD brains navigate motivation and effort differently, highlighting the disconnect between traditional expectations and neurological reality.Redefining Success Through Persistence: Shifting focus to persistence, Irace explains why this approach aligns better with ADHD traits. Persistence allows for flexibility, embracing the natural ebb and flow of motivation without the guilt of perceived failures. Scientific studies underscore the effectiveness of this mindset in achieving long-term goals.Real-Life Examples of Persistence Over Consistency: Irace provides practical examples—from exercise routines to work productivity and relationships—illustrating how embracing persistence leads to sustained progress. Each scenario emphasizes adapting habits to individual rhythms rather than adhering to rigid schedules.How to Build Persistence (Without Pressure): The episode concludes with six science-backed strategies to cultivate persistence in daily life. These include leveraging micro-wins, using external structures like alarms and accountability partners, and fostering self-compassion to navigate setbacks effectively.Closing Thoughts: Consistency may be overrated, but persistence is ADHD-friendly and sustainable. Irace encourages listeners to embrace this mindset, emphasizing that success lies in resilience rather than unattainable perfection.This episode resonates with anyone who has struggled with maintaining routines or habits, offering a refreshing perspective that celebrates the unique strengths of ADHD. Join Carmen Irace next time as she continues to explore topics essential to thriving with ADHD.Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/carmen_iraceJoin Focused: https://ihaveadhdllc.ontralink.com/t?orid=29951&opid=1Show Notes:INTRODUCTIONHOST (Carmen Irace): Hey everyone! Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, the podcast where we dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD—the science, the struggles, and the strengths. I'm your host, Carmen Irace, and today, we're tackling a topic that I know so many of us wrestle with: Consistency vs. Persistence—and why one of these works way better for ADHD brains than the other.I want you to take a second and think about these two words. Consistency. Persistence. Which one makes you feel empowered? And which one makes you feel exhausted just thinking about it?For most of us with ADHD, "consistency" feels like this impossible standard that we just can't live up to. We're told that success comes from doing the same thing, the same way, over and over—but our brains just don't work that way. And that's okay.Today, we're breaking it all down. We'll explore:* The perception of these words and why consistency feels unattainable for ADHDers* The science behind why our brains struggle with consistency but thrive with persistence* Why persistence is actually the ADHD-friendly approach to long-term success* And some practical strategies to help you build persistence without pressureSo, if you've ever felt frustrated that you "can't stay consistent" with habits, work, or goals—this episode is for you. Let's jump in.THE EXPECTATION OF CONSISTENCYLet's start with consistency.This word is thrown around all the time in productivity culture:* “The key to success is consistency.”* “If you're not consistent, you're not disciplined.”* “Success comes from showing up every single day.”And if you have ADHD, hearing that feels like being asked to run a marathon with no training, no shoes, and no idea where the finish line is. Because consistency is built on predictability—and ADHD is the opposite of predictable.

In today's fast-paced world, email management is a critical skill, but for those with ADHD, constantly checking email can become an addictive habit and the source of our greatest distraction. Email acts as a digital slot machine for those with ADHD, creating a dopamine-driven cycle of constant checking in search of novelty and stimulation. This behavior is about immediate gratification and coping with executive function challenges like task initiation and priority setting. By understanding how your brain responds to these stimuli, you can begin to develop more intentional habits.The cost of this unconscious compulsion is a lot higher than you realize because compulsive email checking acts as a crutch for avoiding more significant tasks. The perceived productivity of responding to emails is misleading and can detract from meaningful work. The worst part? Email-induced task-switching destroys focus. It takes up to 23 minutes for neurotypical brains to refocus after a switch, and for ADHD brains, it's even longer. A key takeaway from the episode is that being constantly available via email is often unnecessary and can be counterproductive. Setting specific email hours can actually enhance client perceptions of professionalism. Shared in this Episode: Dedicated Email Blocks Start by setting two defined email blocks per day. This limits distractions and prevents email from dictating your schedule. Use autoresponders to set client expectations and provide alternative contact methods for emergencies.The 3-Folders SystemSimplify your inbox with three primary folders — “Action Required,” “Waiting For,” and “Archive.” This method streamlines email management, reducing the clutter and stress of a crowded inbox.Leveraging Email Templates:Create templates for routine responses. This reduces cognitive load and enhances efficiency. Customize these for common client questions, project updates, and scheduling queries.Ultimately, email management is not merely about efficiency but about owning your worth as an entrepreneur. Running a business should offer freedom, not bind you to other people's priorities. By fostering better boundaries, entrepreneurs can build better work habits, which in turn boosts confidence and productivity. It's essential to remember that you are not always at others' beck and call. Your time and attention are invaluable, so it's time to let your inbox serve you, not the other way around.Mentioned in this episode:TidyCal - the online calendar that prevents me from overscheduling & sends reminders to my clients so I don't have to Now What?

Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy here.___Some people spend years trying to figure out what they want to do. Brit Madrid Mogensen does it all. From sports reporting and acting to hosting her own TV show, Brit built a career that thrives on curiosity, creativity, and adaptability—hallmarks of the ADHD brain. But before she found her rhythm in the fast-paced world of media, she struggled in school, particularly with math, where her dyscalculia made numbers feel impossible. Despite excelling in subjects like literature and philosophy, she often felt held back by traditional education's narrow expectations. It wasn't until college that she was officially diagnosed with ADHD, a realization that helped her understand why certain things came so easily while others felt impossible.Brit shares how she went from feeling like she wasn't measuring up to carving her path in media, taking on opportunities without always knowing what she was doing—but trusting she'd figure it out along the way. She opens up about rejection in the entertainment industry, how she's learned to bounce back, and why ADHD has been her greatest asset in a field that rewards quick thinking and adaptability. Whether she's reporting from the sidelines, acting on the Dallas reboot, or creating TV that blends wellness and pop culture, Brit has found success by following her interests instead of forcing herself into a traditional mold.She also dives into her love of astrology—how it helps her understand herself and others, and why it might resonate with ADHD brains. If you've ever struggled to stick to one path or felt like your interests pull you in a million directions, Brit's journey is a reminder that success isn't about narrowing yourself down—it's about finding the through line that makes it all work together.Resources:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/britmadrid/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bzentv/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/bzentv/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/bzentvPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-cards-and-starsSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?
