In today's episode Sarah and Whitney are back tackling the topic of does motherhood illuminate or cause mental health conditions. From depression, anxiety, or ADHD, listen in as they discuss what we may have experienced our entire life vs what motherhood challenging factors create. 

Hey Team! My guest today is Dr. Jennifer Dall, a grief-informed neurodivergence specialist, ADHD coach, and educator with more than 25 years of experience. She's the founder of ADHD Holistically, and blends her expertise in education, yoga, and grief work to build a focus on the whole person to create personalized, sustainable approaches for neurodivergent brains. In our conversation today, we dig into how societal expectations and outdated research have kept so many women from being recognized as having ADHD. We explore the ways ADHD symptoms often present differently in women, the impact of masking, and the hidden toll of trying to “just keep up.” Dr. Dall also shares quick, real-world strategies for tackling the everyday hurdles that come with ADHD, from taming your to-do list to breaking free of shame around getting help. adhdholistically.com If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/238 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Low-interest tasks like laundry, dishes, or paying bills often aren't just one thing. They're a series of micro-steps that might require you to switch gears, remember where you were, and re-engage. Each step is a potential stall point for an ADHD brain, especially if the task is competing with something more engaging. 2. Watch out for overstimulation shutdowns; ADHD brains can have trouble filtering out sensory input and mental noise. If we can learn to recognize when we're starting to hit sensory or mental overload, it makes it easier for us to take care of ourselves without burning out. 3. Tasks like keeping track of everyone's schedules, making sure the pantry's stocked, or managing the emotional climate of a household often go unnoticed, but these tasks are still real work and they're important. If we can give this work the weight it deserves, it can help us start seeing ourselves (or someone else in our household) as productive even when the results aren't as visible or tangible as other tasks.

If your child zones out, explodes, or melts down over the “small stuff,” you're probably wondering if something deeper is going on—and you're not wrong for thinking that. So many parents come to me feeling defeated, exhausted, or flat-out confused by their child's behavior.Let me tell you something important: behavior is communication. It's never just “bad behavior.” It's your child's nervous system waving a red flag.And once we decode what that behavior really means—under or overstimulation, most often—we can start offering the right support. That's when everything begins to change.Why does my child seem lazy, unmotivated, or shut down?When kids appear “checked out,” we often label it as laziness or defiance. But what I see over and over again in my work is that these behaviors are really signs of understimulation—especially in younger children or kids with anxiety, ADHD, or depression.I call these behaviors “sneaky” because they look passive, but they're actually a big clue your child needs help with behavior and mental health support.I see this all the time—kids who zone out, cling to screens, or struggle to get going. They chase stimulation but can't stay focused. And transitions? Especially after screen time? Brutal.When that happens in my house, I don't push—I pause. I'll say, “Your brain seems a little sluggish—let's move together for a minute.” That quick reset helps the brain shift gears and brings focus back online.And instead of barking, “Get started now!” I'll say, “Do you want a timer or a little boost from me to get going?” That simple shift creates cooperation instead of conflict.Why does my child go from fine to furious in seconds?If your child runs hot—sudden meltdowns, overreactions, fear before routines—it's probably not “attitude.” It's a sign of overstimulation, another form of nervous system dysregulation that often gets misread as oppositional behavior or mood swings.In these moments, I focus on body awareness. If I make it a “thinking problem,” my child pushes back. So I say things like: “Your body's telling us this is too much right now. Let's take a break and shift gears.”When a child is overstimulated, they may:React aggressively to small changesRefuse to comply or shut downCover their ears or struggle in crowdsComplain about clothing textures or “itchy” socksExperience sudden overwhelming fear or anxiety before routinesI saw this in action recently at the grocery store. A little one was crying nonstop. His mom didn't scold, didn't rescue—she gently placed her hand on him, stayed calm, and let him regulate.And just like that, he calmed himself down. That's the power of co-regulation.You don't have to figure this out alone.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit: How to Stay Calm When Your Child Pushes Your Buttons and Stop Oppositional Behaviors.Head to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and start your calm parenting journey today.What do I do when these signs show up over and over again?When patterns repeat—whether your child is zoning out or melting down—it's time to get curious instead of reactive.I always recommend parents become behavior detectives.

This week's episode of the podcast is all about executive function—what it is, how struggles in these skills show up in homeschoolers, and, most importantly, what you can do at home to support your child as they grow. Whether your child is gifted, twice-exceptional, or has a neurodivergence like ADHD or autism, these ideas are for you. Here are some highlights and key takeaways: Executive function is more than organization. It encompasses a whole set of skills: from planning and prioritizing to task initiation, working memory, emotional regulation, and more. Many neurodivergent kids' intellectual abilities often outpace these essential life skills. Scaffolding and modeling are key. Building executive function doesn't mean doing it all for them. Instead, break down tasks, provide step-by-step support, externalize plans (think: whiteboards and visual checklists), and consistently model your own planning and problem-solving out loud. Progress, not perfection. Celebrate small wins and keep the focus on growth and effort. Building these life skills is a marathon, not a sprint. Our job isn't to micromanage, but to guide, equip, and be a safe base as our kids grow into independent problem-solvers. Whether you're a parent or educator, this episode is a great reminder: little steps matter—and you're not alone on the journey!   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

Co-Host Dr. Craig B. Wiener (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wiener) My first time guest, Dr. Craig B. Wiener is a licensed psychologist and best selling author on a variety of topics. Central to today's episode, much of Dr. Wiener's important work has snowballed since he first questioned the growing tendency to make behavioral problems medical disabilities...especially for boys. His groundbreaking work with ADHD shows that the behaviors included in the ADHD diagnosis can become frequent due to reinforcement. This "medicalization of the social" is a topic of interest for all of us as men, for sure...and for a variety of reasons, actually. What would Craig tell men who have been told there's something wrong with them by the medical field, when it might actually be a social thing? Could we simply need some self-work on our social skills. Or worse, could we have been told something is wrong with us when we're really just fine?  What about when parents project medical diagnoses upon their kids? (e.g. Health Anxiety By Proxy or Munchausen Syndrome) How would Craig explain the rise in later-life diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder? And what about when people manipulate the medicalization of the social for their own apparent benefit, like "I'm on the spectrum, not a narcissist"? What happens when little boys act like, well...little boys, but are rushed to the principal's office or even to therapy for it? On the other hand, there's also a pattern where people seek help, then resist it and offload the blame onto others. Why would anyone want to stay locked into their pattern of failure?

Understanding Labels and Diagnoses in Decluttering: Empowering or Limiting? This episode delves into the roles of labels and diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, OCD, and anxiety in the context of decluttering and organising. The hosts discuss how a diagnosis can provide clarity and relief but can also feel limiting or overwhelming. They share their personal experiences, emphasising the importance of individuality and the need for practical strategies that work with unique brain functions and habits. The conversation explores how labels can both empower and hold people back, providing insights and practical tips for working with neurodiversity in the decluttering process. Highlights include the significance of having fewer possessions and using labeled containers to maintain order, along with the value of self-awareness and ongoing learning.

In this episode, Caitlin sits down with fellow neurodivergent creative and manifestation enthusiast Carissa Andrews—an ADHD author, educator, and unapologetic woo-woo translator for brains that don't fit the “one-size-fits-all” mold.Together, they go far beyond vision boards and gratitude lists, diving into the neurodivergent-friendly side of manifestation. Think: quantum physics that clicks and the liberating practice of radical trust (even when the future feels like a total question mark).They also talk about how fast, overclocked brains can drown out the slower wisdom of the body and gut, and explore why manifesting through other people can feel unsafe for many neurodivergent folks. Tune in as they pull apart imposter syndrome, resistance, and the old stories that keep creatives from building the reality they actually want. "So when we look at it from this malleable place and teach authors like, look, you have the choice to tell yourself that it's going to be this way, or the choice to look at it in the idealized way of what you want it to be. Both are options to you." - Carissa AndrewsYou'll totally learn:How to make manifestation work for your neurodivergent brainUnderstanding the quantum physics behind manifestation to overcome resistance and imposter syndromeThe difference between relying on your fast brain vs the calm intuition of your gutHow to build "radical trust" in your ability to manifestUnlearning the belief that people are unpredictable and won't "get you"Carissa's Websites:Author Website: http://carissaandrews.com/Manifest Differently (ND manifestation and verbal reiki): manifestdifferently.com Author Revolution (ND indie author coaching): authorrevolution.org

This week Scott speaks with author, entrepreneur, and world traveler Chris Guillebeau, best known for The Art of Non-Conformity and his latest book, Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live. Chris unpacks the concept of time anxiety—the persistent feeling that we’re running out of time—and explains why it’s different from FOMO or ADHD. Together, he and Scott explore how cultural pressures toward constant efficiency can leave us feeling perpetually behind, and how to redefine “enough” in our own lives. This conversation offers fresh perspectives on slowing down, finding meaning, and reclaiming your relationship with time. Whether you’re chasing big dreams or simply trying to savor the present, this episode will help you rethink how you spend your most precious resource.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ahead of the Trump / Putin meeting in Alaska, we ask what's happened to Ukraine's missing children? Ukraine says thousands have been taken by Russian forces - many indoctrinated in Russian military schools – and some are now fighting on the frontline against their home country.Also in the programme: what are Israelis now thinking and saying about the war in Gaza – and how well informed are people about the conflict? Plus the good news that medication for ADHD may also reduce suicidal behaviours and substance misuse, and even make people less likely to have transport accidents and commit crime.(IMAGE: Children's handprints decorate the wall of the culture centre of the Ukrainian frontline village of Kalynove, Kharkiv region, Ukraine, April 11, 2025 / CREDIT: REUTERS/Violeta Santos Moura)

There's a lot of talk these days — on social media and in parenting circles — about kids and therapy. But with all the noise, it can be hard to know what's true and what actually applies to your child. Psychologist (and friend of the pod) Dr. Andy Kahn joins us today to clear up any confusion. He unpacks common questions and offers honest, stigma-free insights into how therapy for kids really works.For more on this topic:5 steps to take if you  think your child is depressedWhat is CBT?Questions to ask a therapistTimestamps:(04:42) How do you decide if therapy is necessary?(11:30) How do you talk to your child about starting therapy?(15:16) What if my child doesn't want to go to therapy?(18:20) Will I know what's happening in the sessions?For a transcript and more resources, visit the In It page on Understood.org.

In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay—Board-Certified Health and Nutrition Practitioner and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute—dives deep into one of the most misunderstood underlying stressors of ADHD symptoms: gut health. While ADHD is often labeled as a brain-based disorder, this episode reveals how gut imbalances, inflammation, and neurotransmitter disruptions could be fueling your child's symptoms—like mood swings, focus struggles, and emotional dysregulation.

Kris is joined by longtime friend, business visionary, and rockstar early childhood leader Rachel Supalla. Rachel is the founder of Vision Tree, a TEDx speaker, and the author of The Playful Leader's Toolkit, a book packed with wisdom on leading with joy, grounding, and energy. With 10 schools across Montana and Utah, Rachel shares how she's scaled her business while embracing what she calls “ruby slipper leadership.” They talk about managing energy instead of time, why remote teams need tight leadership structures, and how playfulness is more than just dress-up — it's a strategy for productivity. Rachel also opens up about living with ADHD and how it shapes her leadership style, creativity, and drive.   Key Takeaways: [5:26] Rachel shares her evolution from center owner to coach and consultant, and how joining the Child Care Success Academy changed her career path.[6:36] She talks about scaling rapidly across three regions and how Vision Tree emerged as her consulting and leadership training brand.[9:05] Rachel loves lake life and is a proud mom of four kids and grandma to baby Zeke. [10:39] Fun fact: Rachel's trip with her grandma (who some thought was her sister) to Ireland at age 13, including a spontaneous solo in a pub, was an early clue that she'd someday take the stage.[12:46] Rachel explains how The Playful Leader's Toolkit came out of her ADHD-fueled trial-and-error experiences, and why she believes burnout is not a badge of honor. [14:12] Ruby slippers became a metaphor for grounding, confidence, and leadership clarity, especially in high-pressure seasons. Once you've got the right shoes on, you can do anything! [16:41] Managing energy (not just time) helps Rachel structure her day and lead effectively, especially as a neurodivergent leader. [20:24] She breaks down the “max of 10” rule for direct reports and why it protects leadership bandwidth across large teams.[24:34] Rachel gives a deep dive into her favorite systems: Playground, JotForm Enterprise, Teachable, and Zapier.[27:16] Playfulness isn't fluff — it's a mindset that supports innovation, brain-based leadership, and mental reset when teams are stressed.[32:03] Rachel walks through her M.A.G.I.C. framework, the five pillars of playful leadership. [35:40] Doing a TEDx Talk was terrifying and transformational; the unexpected outcome was a deeper conversation about ADHD and leadership. [39:15] Rachel shares her seasonal schedule, non-negotiables like football and summer in Montana, and the power of team infrastructure. [41:48] She teases her upcoming course, focused on helping women scale their culture without losing their soul.   Quotes: “I think that's probably where I learned the most about how to run a remote team, was being an employee for the Child Care Success Academy.” — Rachel [7:46]   “You go up the ladder in life when you're succeeding and you're accomplishing, and you get to this level of contribution, and that's the level that I feel like I'm at. And I want to give back. I want to help people do it faster, the right way, from my mistakes. So that's what inspired me to write my book.” — Rachel [13:46]   “That's when I'm most productive, when my energy is managed. It doesn't have anything to do with time. You can have time blocked. You can have all the time in the world. But if your energy sucks, you're not going to get anything done.” — Rachel [17:46]   “I think that's been the biggest thing, learning to manage my energy.” — Rachel [18:29]   “From the beginning, we have learned to automate, delegate, eliminate.” — Rachel [21:10]   “Play is not just, let's dress up and have a potluck. It's a mindset.”— Rachel [26:15]   “I am very passionate about this playful leadership concept. It's an idea. It's silly to some, it's weird to others, and it's powerful to others. And I really do think that if you embrace it, it's going to change the way we teach children, it's going to change the way we lead our companies, and it's going to make the world a more happy, innovative, creative place, which is what we're lacking right now, and so I am very passionate about that.” — Rachel [36:48]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal The Playful Leader's Toolkit  A Quest of Creative Culture Building with Rachel Supalla The power of play for better leadership | Rachel Supalla | TEDxParkland Vision Tree

Understanding the reason behind a child's developmental and mental health difficulties can be challenging for parents. Every child is unique and may not fit into the typical profile which is described in literature. Delay in understanding the child's profile and reaching the right diagnosis can delay the child accessing the right interventions.Children with Developmental Challenges are present all over the world. Unfortunately, lack of trained personnel, lack of awareness in health, educational staff, and the community results in extended periods of suffering for the child and family.Early identification leads to Early Intervention and Improved outcome for Children with Developmental Challenges. Unfortunately, there is also a lack of adequate resources to provide interventions for affected children in less developed countries.The Doctor is an experienced neurodevelopmental Pediatrician practicing in the United Kingdom, she has expertise in managing children with a wide range of developmental disorders. For almost two decades, Dr. Inyang Takon has been actively involved in the assessment and management of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.She is the Co-author of "ADHD, Tics and Me," and the Founder of Early Intervention Matters Podcast. https://www.drtakon.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

EPISODE 115 – THE JUNGLE SQUAD CAST Hosted by Ape Loso (@apeishere_), Rad (@radical_jl), and Rahh (@_rahhbanks)

The back-to-school season can trigger anxiety, frustration, and emotional dysregulation in kids—especially those already facing mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma. In this episode, therapist and mom of four Jean Crane joins host Jared Jones to unpack what's really going on beneath the surface for our kids and what parents can do to support them.From understanding common struggles to offering calming strategies and connection tools, this episode is packed with empathy and actionable insights for families navigating this big seasonal shift.

In this episode, Adam Roach and Jess Webber discuss the overwhelming nature of to-do lists for entrepreneurs, particularly those with ADHD. They identify decision fatigue as a significant issue and introduce a 3D solution: Do, Delegate, and Delete. The discussion emphasizes the importance of taking action, delegating tasks to alleviate bottlenecks, and recognizing when to let go of non-essential tasks. The conversation concludes with a focus on creating a success list to prioritize what truly matters in achieving goals.TakeawaysEntrepreneurs often face decision overload rather than clarity issues.Decision fatigue can lead to mental chaos and inaction.A long to-do list can diminish motivation and drive.Quick wins from completing tasks can build momentum.Delegation is crucial for overcoming bottlenecks in business.Not every idea needs to be pursued; some should be dropped.Pruning your to-do list can help focus on what truly matters.Creating a success list can replace overwhelming to-do lists.Chapters00:00 Drowning in To-Dos: The Entrepreneurial Epidemic05:52 The 3D Solution: Do, Delegate, Delete12:29 The Power of Deleting: Letting Go of Non-Essentials17:20 Creating a Success List: Prioritizing What MattersYour brain should be a decision machine, not a storage unit.Intentionality in task management leads to greater productivity.

What if the reason someone has struggled at work for years isn't down to effort, ability, or attitude… …but because they've unknowingly been navigating the world with a neurodivergent brain? In this deeply honest and emotional conversation, I'm joined by Chris Hood from Neurobridge, who shares his personal experience of receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood — and everything that came after. We talk openly about the emotional fallout: the initial relief of finally having an explanation, and the overwhelming grief, shame and identity confusion that followed. Chris shares what it feels like to realise you've been masking your true self for years and how difficult (and beautiful) the journey back to yourself can be. But this episode isn't just about the individual experience. It's also about what managers, leaders and organisations need to do differently to support neurodivergent colleagues, and why the typical “tick-box” approach to inclusion just doesn't cut it. Whether you're neurodivergent, a manager of people, or someone who simply wants to build a more human workplace, this conversation is full of insight, heart, and practical takeaways. ----more---- Key Takeaways Diagnosis doesn't bring instant clarity. It often opens the floodgates to grief, confusion, and decades of questions. Masking is survival. Many neurodivergent people spend years shaping themselves to fit in, often at the expense of their identity. Managers must lead with curiosity. Support isn't just legal compliance; it's about empathy, observation, and building trust. Workplaces thrive when inclusion is real. When people feel safe enough to be themselves, performance and wellbeing soar. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – What if ‘poor performance' is actually undiagnosed neurodivergence? 0:03:52 – Meet Chris Hood: From ADHD diagnosis to championing neuro-inclusion 0:07:21 – What ADHD really feels like, and how diagnosis lifts the fog 0:14:41 – The grief and shame of late diagnosis: “I didn't know who I was” 0:22:43 – Where shame begins: Abandoning yourself to fit in 0:27:49 – Unmasking isn't instant — it's a journey back to yourself 0:33:33 – What real support looks like (and why legal compliance isn't enough) 0:38:10 – “What support do you need?” is the wrong question — here's what to ask instead 0:42:21 – Chris's 3 tips for supporting late-diagnosed team members ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Chris Hood on LinkedIn here Find the Neurobridge website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_You know that feeling when someone tells you you're "too intense" or "ask too many questions"? Lucia Kanter St. Amour has built an entire career on exactly those traits.Lucia is a negotiation expert, law professor, and the kind of ADHD woman who writes Amazon reviews so detailed she got invited to their exclusive Vine program. She's the author of For the Forces of Good, a guide to everyday negotiation that flips traditional power dynamics, and The Covert Buccaneer, a nonlinear novel that mirrors how her ADHD brain actually works. With a background in global law and leadership at UN Women, she combines strategy with a genuine understanding of how women navigate the world.Diagnosed with ADHD at 54 after a friend casually mentioned she'd known for decades, Lucia finally understood why she'd always felt like a "disco ball" in a world of dimmer switches. Her childhood was marked by misdiagnosed seizures (likely panic attacks from severe bullying) and years on experimental medication that left her struggling academically. But she found her superpowers in foreign languages, piano, and tennis, activities that naturally regulated her nervous system.In this conversation, she and Tracy explore how the traits that make us feel "too much" actually become negotiation superpowers. Our intensity, emotional intelligence, and hyperfocus are assets, not liabilities. They discuss why women avoid negotiating (it's costing us over a million dollars by retirement), how to practice with everyday situations like getting your toddler to eat dinner, and why deep listening transforms every interaction. Lucia also shares her journey from hating rigid law firm work to creating negotiation tools designed specifically for ADHD brains.Whether you're asking for a raise, navigating family dynamics, or simply wanting to be truly heard, Lucia shows that being "too much" isn't something to manage. It's your greatest strength.Resources:Website: https://www.pactumfactum.com/  YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/santaluciasf  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?

Ever wonder if your kid's brain is turning to mush because they've been scrolling TikTok for two hours straight... again? You're not alone—and before the guilt spiral kicks in, take a deep breath. In this episode, psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Lisa Damour helps us cut through the noise and panic around screen time, ADHD, and anxiety. She shares why the real culprit might not be the screen itself, but what it's replacing—like sleep and in-person connection. You'll learn what's actually worth worrying about (spoiler: it's not every app), how to set realistic screen rules without starting World War III, and the one simple test to know if your kid's screen use is truly a problem. This is the calm, research-backed reassurance every modern mom needs. Resources We Shared: Tired of parenting advice that feels more like pressure than help?

We're talking about what it's really like to live in an ADHD brain—one that doesn't always prioritize the way the world expects it to. It's not laziness. It's not incompetence. It's just a different operating system. AI might be trying to recreate “standard brains,” but it can't replicate the messy, out-of-order, last-minute, lightning-in-a-bottle brains. Those are the ones that will change the world. Value the people who don't fit the mold. Life would be boring without them.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

I'm Stephanie May Wilson — 9x author, TEDx speaker, and your host here at girls night and in each episode, we tackle the questions that keep so many of us up at 2 AM — like what to say when people ask invasive questions about your life choices, how to stop comparing your timeline to everyone else's, and most importantly, how to figure out what you actually want and what your next right step is to get there. As we're trying to figure out our lives, you might find yourself running into some obstacles and wondering, “Is this normal?” Does everybody struggle with this or am I the only one?” Or maybe like me, you've had several friends receive ADHD diagnoses recently, and you're wondering,”What about me? Am I neurotypical? Or are there some things that are different and unique about my brain too?” Friend, in this episode you're going to hear from Greer Jones.
