Ever feel like you're living with someone who's always running late, forgetting things, or totally oblivious to how much time has passed? Or maybe you're that person? In this episode, we're breaking down time blindness—a real, brain-based struggle that affects people with ADHD, whether they've been diagnosed or not. Chalene opens up about what it's like to live with ADHD as an adult and how it's impacted her marriage, parenting, and those always-chaotic travel days. You'll hear expert insights from Dr. Russell Barkley and personal stories from both Chalene and Bret, who also shares his hilarious (and brutally honest) rebuttal about what it's really like to travel with someone who has time blindness. Whether you're team “why can't you be on time?!” or team “I swear I'm trying,” this episode is full of lightbulb moments, laughs, and a whole lot of validation.  

From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Justin Roethlingshoefer on Faith, Health, and Purpose This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Justin Roethlingshoefer—human performance expert, data-driven health strategist, and founder of OWN IT Coaching—to explore how rock-bottom moments can fuel world-class breakthroughs. With over two decades of experience optimizing performance for NCAA and NHL athletes, Justin shares how a life-threatening health scare forced him to apply his elite strategies to himself—uncovering a deeper, more universal truth: everyone deserves access to the systems that help the best perform at their best. Now a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The OWN IT Show, Justin helps leaders, executives, and athletes take ownership of their health so they can fully live out their God-given mission. His journey is a powerful reminder that faith, discipline, and purpose-driven living are essential for real transformation. Whether you're a high achiever, a health seeker, or someone navigating personal adversity, Justin's story will challenge you to stop surviving—and start owning your life, mind, body, and mission. In This Episode You Will Hear: • I still remember at 7, 8, 9, 10,11, 12 years old, playing outside on the outdoor rinks for 3, 4, 5 hours a night in -10, -15, -20 degree weather. (6:27) • At 8 years old, I knew what my mission was – what my God-given calling was which was to be part of the redemption story of the health of America. (7:07) • I was raised with a deep conviction and relationship with the Lord, and just a love for people. (7:45) • As men we think that we can grab little issues and dump them in a bucket, and we handle them like it's nothing, but little do we know they're stacking up. (11:35) • There are 4 types of heats: An addictive heart, a hardened heart, a performance heart, and a bruised heart. (13:43). • What are our habits? What are our behaviors? How do we live? How does that show the stewardship and honor for what we've been given to carry out His calling? (15:36) • If you know who's you are, and who's call you're executing, at the end of the day, the results don't matter, it's the journey you're waiting on. (18:13) • Isaiah 40 – Those who are willing to wait on the Lord will rise up on wings like eagles, will run and not grow weary, will walk and not grow faint. (18:51) • The younger generation is learning in a new way. They want to have evidence. (19:41) • We could be pulled off-purpose. And the moment you get distracted is the moment you get disconnected. (21:58) • I always ask 3 questions: What's your name? How's your heart? How can I help? (30:35) • Try to be a reflection of love every single place you go. Try to speak life into people. (32:49) • You have a choice: Do you want your compromise to be compounding in your life? Or do you want your commitment to be compounding in your life? (33:37) • I grew up a fat kid: Was teased, made fun of, ADHD, OCD. (35:41) • Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. (42:48) • How we live is our true and proper worship. (44:17) •  I'm learning that I'm perfectly imperfectly wired.

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: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___When you're the eldest daughter of immigrants with ADHD and autism, you learn to mask early and master systems—but at what cost? Meral Alizada knows this story intimately, and she's using it to transform how companies think about neurodivergent talent.Meral is the founder of Results of Kindness (ROK), where she helps organizations build workplaces where neurodivergent minds aren't just accommodated, they're celebrated. With degrees in Law and Psychology and a background in organizational psychology, she knows how to navigate systems. But what sets her apart is how she redesigns them with empathy, creativity, and a deep understanding of what actually works for ADHD and autistic brains.Diagnosed with both ADHD and autism in her late twenties while working one-on-one with a brilliant child who shared her traits, Meral's journey from law to psychology to entrepreneurship is as nonlinear as her thinking. In this conversation, she and Tracy explore the weight of being ultra-organized out of anxiety, the loneliness of outgrowing friendships, and why our relentless drive for self-development might be our greatest superpower.Meral also breaks down her "Genius Retention" program, explaining why kindness isn't just nice to have—it's profitable. When 89% of workers want kindness in the workplace but 77% are disengaged globally, she argues that treating people as human beings strengthens the hands with which they contribute to organizations. Born to Afghan-Uzbek parents and raised across Europe, Meral brings both global perspective and deeply personal insight to the future of work.Resources:Website: https://resultsofkindness.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themeralalizada  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meralalizada Send 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?

In this honest and eye-opening episode, Lindsey Maestas dives deep into the impact of ADHD on relationships and friendships. With vulnerability, faith, and research-backed insight, she explores why many people with ADHD subconsciously seek out chaos, conflict, toxic relationships, or emotionally unavailable partners. It isn't out of desire, but as a way of seeking out neurological stimulation. Lindsey discusses how ADHD can intensely heighten feelings of rejection, create a cycle of emotional highs and lows in relationships, often leading to toxic dynamics, chronic arguing, and feelings of inadequacy or isolation. She unpacks the difference between laziness and ADHD Paralysis, explaining the brain science behind task initiation struggles and why shame is often misdirected.  Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, have a partner or friend who struggles with it, or simply relate to the patterns of emotional burnout, impulsive decisions, or feeling like you're “too much” in relationships, this episode is a lifeline. Lindsey encourages self-compassion and offers tangible insight to help you understand your brain, regulate your emotions, and build healthier, more stable connections without sacrificing your joy.  Don't forget to give a quick rating and review on Spotify or the Podcasts app (pretty please!)

Are certain individuals more inclined to awaken spiritually? Do some of us have a natural proclivity to experience spiritual states of oneness? Welcome to the first episode in our new podcast series, Being Open: Spirituality and the Neurodivergent Mind. In this illuminating conversation, Tami Simon speaks with intuitive energy healer and awakening trail guide Sarah Taylor about the empowering revelations and approaches she has discovered throughout the course of her life—including the late-in-life realization that she has both autism and ADHD.  Give a listen to this compelling and informative dialogue on: waking up to our interconnection; the shift from “head awakening” to “heart awakening”; Dzogchen and “the one taste”; the receptivity and porousness of neurodivergent people; the healing power of integration and embodiment; the critical importance of downtime and self-care; experiencing equanimity; unraveling the adaption strategies that no longer serve you; living with a high level of “raw sensitivity”; owning your truths—instead of masking your wants, needs, and authenticity; the misunderstood habit of “stimming” (or self-stimulation); the concept of samskaras (or energetic blockages in your subtle anatomy); reckoning with grief; the futility and harm of self-labeling; reframing limitations as gifts; managing your energy and seeking support when you need it; the connection between our increased understanding of the neurodivergent brain and the collective evolution of humanity; and more.

Awareness around neurodivergence, which encompasses conditions like autism and ADHD, has increased in recent years. And with that are calls for accommodations. One of those is the physical environment at work. HOK, a global design and architecture firm, has spent years researching how to design spaces tailored for a more neurodiverse workforce. They redesigned their downtown Seattle office to see how their employees would respond to the accommodations. And so far the results have been positive. Kay Sargent led these efforts at HOK. She is also the author of the book Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces: Advancing Sensory Processing and Cognitive Well-Being in the Built Environment.

Is it possible you've had ADHD your entire life and just didn't know it? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy chats with Kate Moryoussef, host of the award-winning ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, EFT practitioner, and author of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit. After being diagnosed with ADHD at 40, Kate embarked on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and advocacy for women navigating late-in-life diagnoses.   Kate breaks down how hormonal changes in midlife can unmask previously undetected ADHD symptoms, why so many women are being misdiagnosed (or completely overlooked), and how holistic tools like EFT tapping, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and spirituality can make a world of difference. With raw honesty and heartfelt passion, Kate empowers listeners to see ADHD not as a flaw—but as a difference that deserves understanding, support, and even celebration.  

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships   In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       We often need to recharge after overstimulation. ·       Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. ·       It's important to communicate needs in friendships. ·       Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. ·       Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. ·       Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. ·       Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. ·       We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. ·       It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us.   SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS   Neurodivergent Online Course-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/neurodivergent-online-courses/   Receive the top 10 most downloaded episodes of the podcast-- https://www.subscribepage.com/e6z6e6 Sign up for the Newsletter-- https://www.subscribepage.com/y0l7d4   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”   Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com    

Guardian feature writer Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett recently wrote about the growing cohort of parents whose children are on the waiting list for an autism or ADHD diagnosis, and are turning to the internet to buy melatonin to help them sleep. She tells Madeleine Finlay about their experiences and what is driving them to the hidden market. Paul Gringras, a consultant in paediatric sleep medicine and neurodisability, and lead of sleep medicine at King's College London, also explains why melatonin can be helpful for neurodivergent children and why he is concerned about the increasing number of parents looking for it online.

It's often easy to blur the line between personal identity and work identity where heart and mission lead in a field like nonprofits. This conversation focuses on the tension between deep care and personal sustainability and how passion can both fuel and consume us. We unpack what it means to lead with empathy without surrendering ourselves in the process. From embracing structure to letting go of over-sacrifice, we invite leaders and others alike to consider a healthier and more honest way of showing your enthusiasm.  Jamie Tworkowski is a keynote speaker, founder of To Write Love on Her Arms, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide, and NYT bestselling author of ‘If You Feel Too Much'. Having known him for his sensitivity, big feelings, and later-in-life ADHD diagnosis, Jamie has grown into a grounded, intentional leader. With over a decade of experience in the movement, Jamie now advocated for mental health, self-awareness, and sustainable ways of caring for others and for oneself. He is also a strong believer that vulnerability leads to connection, that connection is crucial to life, and ultimately that life is worth living. He joined us today to talk about the complexities of leading with heart in the nonprofit sector.  In this episode, you will be able to: - Discover the importance of self-awareness. - Learn about the importance of understanding motivations, honoring limits, and finding worth outside of performance. - Understand why a culture that supports rest and care needs to be created. - Uncover the complexities of intertwined personhood and work identity.  Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Many thanks to our sponsor, Neon One for making this episode possible.

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the deeper truth about neuroinflammation in children with autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and other chronic health challenges. While diet changes, detoxes, and supplements target inflammation at the surface level, the real on-off switch to neuroinflammation lies much deeper—in the vagus nerve. Dr. Ebel explains how vagus nerve dysfunction creates a traffic jam in the body's anti-inflammatory pathways, keeping children trapped in chronic sympathetic fight-or-flight mode. He shares the powerful story of Ethan, a child with severe autism who experienced dramatic healing once his vagus nerve was properly activated through Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care. This episode provides parents with a clear understanding of why their child may still be experiencing inflammation despite trying every diet and supplement, and offers hope by addressing the underlying neurological cause.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - The Inflammation Truth - Why "inflammation is the root of all disease" is accurate but incomplete, and how it affects every body system([00:07:00]) - Enter the Vagus Nerve - Introduction to the vagus nerve as the primary controller of the body's anti-inflammatory response([00:10:00]) - Why Traditional Methods Fail - Explaining why deep breathing and calming techniques don't work when the vagus nerve is shut down([00:16:00]) - The Traffic Jam Analogy - How subluxation creates a "traffic jam" preventing proper brain-gut-immune communication([00:19:00]) - Ethan's Story - Case study of a child with severe autism who transformed through vagus nerve activation([00:24:00]) - The Chiropractic Solution - Why neurologically focused chiropractic care is the most powerful tool for addressing neuroinflammation([00:27:00]) - Sequential Healing Approach - The importance of addressing vagus nerve dysfunction first before layering other interventions-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Ever wondered why ADHD meltdowns seem so extreme and hard to manage? The answer lies in a crucial but often overlooked aspect of ADHD—emotional dysregulation—which surprisingly isn't even included in diagnostic criteria.We dive into some neuroscience behind these emotional challenges, exploring fascinating brain differences that explain why criticism can trigger an emotional tsunami in someone with ADHD. With approximately 80% of adolescents and adults with ADHD experiencing rejection-sensitive dysphoria, understanding these brain-based reactions transforms how we respond to emotional outbursts.Through a real-life parenting example about screen time limits, we demonstrate practical strategies for navigating boundaries without triggering meltdowns. You'll learn why co-regulation (bringing calm to emotional fire) works better than punishment, how to teach responsibility rather than enforce compliance, and why narrowing choices helps ADHD brains make decisions when they're paralyzed by too many options.Most importantly, we reframe discipline as teaching rather than punishment. The word "discipline" comes from "disciple," meaning to teach—and our goal should be equipping those with ADHD with skills to navigate their emotional landscape independently. We explain why consistency and repetition are crucial, and why working memory, long-term memory, and processing speed deficits (not just attention issues) create everyday challenges.Whether you're raising a child with ADHD or managing it yourself, this episode offers compassionate understanding alongside practical, science-backed strategies to transform your approach to emotional dysregulation. Come away with tools to turn frustrating interactions into opportunities for growth and learning.CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.TheBrainyMoms.com Email: info@TheBrainyMoms.com Social Media: @TheBrainyMoms Our sponsor's website: www.LearningRx.comSandy's TikTok: @TheBrainTrainerLadyDr. Amy's brand new IG: @DrAmySaysGraceDr. Amy's website: www.AmyMoorePhD.com

Welcome back to Brown Noise Sleep Sounds, the podcast where we explore calming sounds and simple tools to help you sleep better, focus deeper, and breathe easier.I'm your host, and tonight we're talking about something simple—but surprisingly powerful: the box fan.If you or someone you love lives with ADHD, you know how hard it can be to turn the mind off at night.Racing thoughts, sensory sensitivity, and an overactive brain can all make sleep feel impossible.But a humble box fan might be more helpful than you think.Box fans create a consistent, low-frequency hum—very similar to brown noise.That deep, steady sound helps drown out distractions, from outside traffic to creaky floors to the inner monologue in your head.For people with ADHD, the brain is always scanning—always alert. Silence can actually feel uncomfortable, even overwhelming.But a fan's sound creates what researchers call an auditory cocoon—a blanket of sound that gives the brain permission to settle.It's not just about blocking noise. It's about giving the ADHD brain something predictable to latch onto.That gentle, unchanging hum provides a sense of safety and routine, which helps regulate the nervous system and calm the body enough for sleep.Many people say they fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and even wake up feeling more rested when they use a fan.It's simple. It's inexpensive. And it works.So tonight, as you lie down, take a moment to notice how the sound of the fan fills the room.Let it carry your thoughts away, soften the edges of your day, and create a space where your mind can finally rest.Thanks for listening to Brown Noise Sleep Sounds. If you find peace in this episode, share it with someone who might need it.And as always, sweet dreams—and stiller minds.My Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1I7B3XLaA9Tc1kaYRhpdJBArtist: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/1MdRIDPwsC6q6WTeRiH134?si=EkNrjtHpToedtAuxygXAzg

What if the key to personal growth wasn't radical transformation—but tiny, consistent experiments? In this full-spectrum conversation, neuroscientist and Ness Labs founder Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins me to explore how to rewire our brains for curiosity, resilience, and sustainable growth. We talk about how our brains are hardwired for safety (and why that gets in the way of change), why embracing uncertainty is a learnable skill, and how to overcome the “insight trap”—where we understand a concept but still fail to appl y it. Anne-Laure shares tools from her book Tiny Experiments, including how to approach daily life more scientifically, balance structure with flexibility, and develop an identity rooted in exploration - not perfection. We also touch on creativity, burnout, goal-setting, and the neuroscience behind procrastination and decision-making.

Your body is talking to itself all the time — through your gut, brain, and hormones. This week, we trace how these hidden threads shape health, pain, mental focus, and even policy momentum for menopause and endometriosis.What You'll LearnThe Gut Microbiome & Chronic PainNew research shows your gut microbiome may hold “signatures” for chronic pain conditions — but personalized treatment isn't there yet. What does an anti-inflammatory diet or SCFAs mean now?ADHD as an Evolutionary StrengthEvidence supports the “hunter in a farmer's world” idea: ADHD traits once helped our ancestors survive. So how do we design schools, workplaces, and mental health care to match that reality — especially for women affected by PMDD?Menopause Policy MomentumMore than 15 states have introduced menopause bills this year — plus the NextGen Now initiative is training thousands of providers. But funding and policy only help if they reach real people.Why Connecting the Dots MattersWhen we silo gut health, neurodiversity, and hormones, people pay the price in misdiagnosis and costly, fragmented care. This episode shows why connecting these threads matters for patients — and for anyone shaping the system.Listen If You're:A patient, advocate, or startup founder working to make healthcare more wholeNavigating ADHD, chronic pain, or hormonal shiftsCurious about the intersection of science, policy, and real-world careResources & Related LinksRead the newsletter The Threads We Keep MissingListen to my interview with Dr. Caroline Mitchell on the Vaginal MicrobiomeListen to my interview with Dr. Allie Sharma on Mental Health and MenopauseRead about the $24 billion menopause opportunityExplore Fempower Health's ADHD resources

Forget what you've seen in movies: BDSM isn't one-size-fits-all. As Dr. Leann Borneman explains, it's more of an à la carte menu where consent, communication, and personal boundaries come first. You can take what works for you and leave the rest.Host Cate Osborn talks with clinical sexologist Dr. Borneman about the intersection of BDSM, neurodivergence, and executive function. They explore how some people with ADHD use parts of BDSM, like structure, sensory input, and clearly defined roles. These can help support attention, reduce overwhelm, and build emotional regulation.Listen as Cate and Leann challenge outdated assumptions, and learn how destigmatizing your desires can help you show up more fully in your life.Related resourcesLeann's website, bornemancoaching.comLeann's dissertation, The Intersection of ADHD and BDSM Engagement in Heterosexual WomenFor a transcript and more resources, visit the Sorry, I Missed This show page on Understood.org.

Ask David: Chasing, Commitment Problems Sadness as Celebration Is Autism Increasing?  The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the live discussion for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Today's live podcast discussion with Rhonda, Matt, and David was very energetic and hopefully inspiring for all of you! Today's questions. Aurora asks about a dating problem—the guy I'm dating doesn't want to “commit.” What should I do? Ana asks: I'm 48 now, and about 25 years ago, I was diagnosed with infertility—a devastating moment for someone who had dreamed of becoming a mother since childhood. Through therapy, prayer, and especially your book Feeling Good, I've done deep healing. I truly feel at peace most of the time. My life is full and joyful. But I've noticed that certain dates—especially Mother's Day and Christmas—still bring sadness. Not overwhelming or constant, but a familiar ache that surprises me even now. I use my CBT tools and move through it, but part of me wonders: should I be “over this” by now? Brittany asks: Is autism really on the increase? The following questions will be included in the next Ask David podcast. We did not have time to include them today. Ollie asks: How do you motivate a procrastinating patient to do the hard work of facing the task they've been putting off? Owen asks: Should I complete a full Daily Mood Log each day? Owen asks: Is it okay to copy the positive reframing from a previous DML when relevant? Zainab asks: Is friendship a basic human need?   1. Aurora asks about a dating problem—the guy I'm dating doesn't want to “commit.” What should I do. Hi Doctor Burns, I have been dating a guy exclusively (both only seeing each other) but he doesn't bring up wanting commitment to being in a relationship. He wants to see me in all his free time but tends to plan dates last minute if he does and assumes we will hang out at his place when we get together. He knows I'd like a relationship but said we are working towards that and that it's putting unnecessary pressure when I mentioned it. I'm not sure how long to wait and asking directly for what I'd like (him planning dates in advance) doesn't really help as he quickly got defensive and I then went to using the five secrets. Any advice? Thank you for everything you do, I love your books and podcast so much. They have truly changed my life. You and Rhonda make me smile every day that I listen. If you do by chance use my question would you not include my name? Aurora David's response Yes we can address this during an Ask David. It's great timing since we just had several podcasts on dating questions, Quick answer, and we'll go deeper in the podcast, but it sounds like you're being a bit too available and letting him use you and take you for granted. Remember the Burns Rule: “People ONLY want what they CAN'T get, and NEVER want what they CAN get!” So being more unavailable, letting him know you have other plans (which may simply be not to see him at the last minute), all the while being sweet. When he says he is not interested in a commitment just now, you can use the Five Secrets of Effective Communication, and play the role of “shrink,” not “available lady.” Ask him about that, express curiosity, encourage him to talk. These methods (5 secrets) are an art form, spelled out pretty clearly in Feeling Good Together. Pressing him for a commitment is guaranteed to drive him away. You want HIM to be the chaser, and YOU to be the chased. Also, a Daily Mood Log on thoughts that make you anxious about him, and working toward letting go of “needing” him. Warmly, David Aurora responds to David This is amazing Dr. Burns, thank you so very much! I am so humbled you took the time to read my email, use my questions, and give such a helpful reply. And yes how about the name Aurora! Thank you and Rhonda. Your work has truly changed my life and I am so deeply grateful for all you do. Aurora   2. Ana asks about living with infertility. Hi Dr. Burns, I hope you're well. I had the honor of corresponding with you and Dr. Rhonda last year about my relationship with my mother, and I'm still so grateful for your generosity and the space you gave me on the podcast. Today I write about a different part of my story. I'm 48 now, and about 25 years ago, I was diagnosed with infertility—a devastating moment for someone who had dreamed of becoming a mother since childhood. Through therapy, prayer, and especially your book Feeling Good, I've done deep healing. I truly feel at peace most of the time. My life is full and joyful. But I've noticed that certain dates—especially Mother's Day and Christmas—still bring sadness. Not overwhelming or constant, but a familiar ache that surprises me even now. I use my CBT tools and move through it, but part of me wonders: should I be “over this” by now? Or is it normal that something so deep still stirs, even after years of healing? I sometimes question whether I'm simply very good at coping (I'm an Enneagram 3—always performing strength) or if there's still more I need to process, like the moment both of my sisters-in-law announced their pregnancies during the darkest part of my grief

Hey team! In today's episode, I'm chatting with Valerie McIntyre, a Licensed Professional Counselor, an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, and the author of A Journey to a Valiant Mind, a book that dives into navigating ADHD with resilience and self-compassion. In our conversation, we dive into how ADHD isn't just about task management, but how, more often than not, it's also about emotional regulation. Valerie talks about the complex emotions that come with ADHD, especially for late-diagnosed individuals, and how those feelings often get tangled up with shame and self-judgment. We also touch on how perfectionism, rejection sensitivity, and even seemingly small tasks can build up into emotional barriers. Valerie's approach emphasizes compassion, and this episode is filled with tools to help you break free from self-doubt and cultivate a more positive, empowered relationship with your ADHD. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at https://HackingYourADHD.com/231 https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk - YouTube https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD - Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. It's important to recognize that emotional struggles are often rooted in our internalized beliefs about our ADHD symptoms. These beliefs shape how we perceive ourselves and what we're able to accomplish, and our emotional responses. 2. Often, there can be a struggle when shifting from one task to another. If we can acknowledge that there may be a delay in how your brain transitions between tasks and give ourselves time to adapt, we can make those transitions easier. 3. We can use reflective exercises, like journaling or discussion questions, to gain insight into our emotional triggers. This can help us identify better coping mechanisms that actually address the underlying issues we're trying to overcome.

This episode is a rebroadcast. Dusty has handpicked episodes from the archive to air while she and Ash are on their annual summer break. New episodes resume in September! This week Cam and Shelly pivot from the recent focus on negative emotions to positive emotions. Emotions are the on-off switch for action. Understanding how emotions come into play is key to motivation and taking action. Those of us with ADHD tend to over-utilize our fear neural networks or negative emotions to get things done. How often do you hear yourself prioritizing or taking action through urgency or on the greatest consequence? How often does worry, fear or anxiety inform what you are trying to do? Accessing this negative neural network too much leads to stress and health issues. Starting to access the positive neural network can help to reverse this process. Cam and Shelly start by introducing the ‘gateway' emotions of hope and curiosity. These are the emotions that can lead to other positive emotions like trust, gratitude and love. Cam reads a letter from an appreciative listener and discusses how developing community and understanding of the dilemma can instill a sense of hope and possibility. Shelly discusses how the skill of normalizing can make someone start to understand their ADHD experience and why in coaching it is important to articulate a picture of positive success.

"Americans have a long history of taking British things and ballsing them up. They took football and added helmets and cheerleaders; they took ice lollies and called them popsicles; and they took James Corden and then sent him back here."Among Ashley's more unusual hyperfixations is a life-long love of professional wrestling. This special interest was first developed on Saturday afternoons at his grandparents' house watching Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki. It continued through the 1980s when Britain was invaded by Hulk Hogan and his colleagues from the then WWF (before they lost a court case to the World Wildlife Fund), and Ashley was fortunate enough to be in attendance at the legendary Summerslam show at Wembley Stadium in 1992, which so many British wrestlers have cited as the day that cemented their love of the grunt and grapple business. This undeniably extraordinary spectacle is sometimes called ‘sports entertainment' - for many people it is neither!When Ashley Blaker was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, one of the most significant aspects of his diagnosis is his propensity for hyperfixation in special interests, which he now realises has entirely shaped his past and which he uses to mine comedy for this new series.It's no exaggeration to say Ashley's life has been driven by obsessions. He has variously been a schoolboy with a love of Star Wars and Doctor Who, a wannabe comedian who performed on the London comedy circuit at 16, a trivia nerd who appeared on University Challenge, a history PhD candidate at Cambridge, a BBC producer of hit comedy shows including Little Britain, a fanatical football fan who saw Liverpool play across England and Europe, a strictly Orthodox Jew who went to synagogue three times a day for over ten years, a father of six, and latterly, a heavily tattooed renegade in hiding from his former community.In this series, Ashley takes a comedic look at each of his obsessions in turn, merging personal memoir with a delve into subjects which have yet to be covered in stand-up comedy shows. The result is a series which, while based on the broader topic of neurodiversity, covers it with the lightest of touches and is focused more on Ashley's individual hyperfixations, lifting the lid on many of the different worlds he's inhabited.Written and performed by Ashley Blaker co-starring Rosie Holt and Kieran HodgsonScript Editor: Steve Hall Recording engineers: Jerry Peal and Jon Calver Producer: Steve Doherty A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4
