Send us a textHow do you navigate life when the world around you literally begins to disappear? Laura Bratton takes us on a remarkable journey through her experience of losing her sight as a child and discovering a deeper kind of vision along the way.Diagnosed at age nine with a rare retinal condition, Laura gradually lost her sight throughout middle and high school—a particularly painful time as her peers were gaining independence through driver's licenses while she was losing hers. Yet through this profound challenge, Laura discovered a powerful framework for resilience that she now shares with others: the balance of grit and gratitude.The most touching moments in our conversation reveal how Laura's family refused to let blindness become her identity or excuse. When teenage Laura tried using her condition to get out of chores, her mother simply said, "Laura, unload the dishwasher" and walked away—a moment of "tough love" that Laura initially resented but now recognizes as one of her greatest gifts. These experiences taught her that limitations don't diminish worth, and that acknowledging difficulties while choosing to move forward anyway is the essence of true courage.Laura's definition of gratitude might surprise you. It's not about constant positivity or denying difficult emotions. Rather, it means being thankful for what helps us move through challenges—sometimes as simple as appreciating that a particularly tough day is finally over. This refreshing perspective liberates us from the pressure to "stay positive" and instead encourages authentic engagement with our full human experience.As founder of Ubi Global and author of "Harnessing Courage," Laura now guides individuals and organizations through significant life changes and what she calls "non-death losses"—the grieving process that accompanies major life transitions beyond literal death. Her story reminds us that healing integrates mind, body, and spirit, and that our greatest challenges often become the foundation for our most meaningful contributions to others.What change are you facing that could benefit from both grit and gratitude? Join us for this transformative conversation about seeing beyond sight and finding strength in vulnerability.//www.laurabratton.com/Support the show

If you've ever felt burned out, stretched too thin, or guilty for even thinking about taking time off—you're not alone. I've been there too. That's why today's conversation with my good friend Chris Ducker hit so hard. Chris is a wildly successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Youpreneur. But despite building a thriving business, he ended up flatlined—literally. Diagnosed with acute anxiety, depression, and adrenal failure, Chris was forced to face the cost of nonstop hustle. In his new book The Long Haul Leader, Chris shares the framework he created to move from burnout to balance: a simple Life OS built on four pillars—impactful work, loving relationships, personal mastery, and hobbies. We dig into why hustle should only ever be a season (not a lifestyle), how to protect your energy, and why self-care isn't selfish—it's strategy. If you want to create lasting success without sacrificing your health, happiness, or relationships, this conversation will give you the permission and tools to finally make it happen.

Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Rita Ramakrishnan, a seasoned strategic executive and leadership coach with over 15 years of experience. Diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism Spectrum during her undergrad years, Rita reframed what could have been limitations into strengths and now looks to uplift other neurodivergent women in leadership roles. Currently, she is pursuing a master's degree in neurodivergent leadership at the University of Pennsylvania, intensifying her expertise in coaching and organizational strategy tailored to neurodivergent individuals. In our conversation, we cover everything from identifying when you're dysregulated (and what to do about it) to designing teams that play to everyone's strengths. Rita walks us through practical tools like outsourcing strategically, tracking your energy to uncover strengths, and building a leadership charter so teams can work more effectively together. It's a conversation about leading authentically, creating systems that work for your brain, and how to advocate for your needs without falling into people-pleasing traps. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/243 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Try creating a Minimum Viable Routine - your baseline routine that consists of the bare minimum you need in place to function. The point of an MVR is to take those non-negotiables and lock them in, either with automation, outsourcing, or simple systems. That way, when ADHD throws a curveball, you still have the essentials covered. 2. Instead of only measuring productivity by what gets checked off a to-do list, try looking at how you feel after activities. Track when you walk away from a meeting or task feeling energized, and when you walk away feeling drained. 3. Rejection sensitivity hits hard for many folks with ADHD. A short email reply, a period at the end of a text, or even a coworker sounding rushed can feel like a personal rejection. Rita's advice is to deliberately separate yourself from the situation and try to depersonalize feedback. This reframing can help shift from identity-based thinking (like “I'm the problem”) to more situation-based thinking (“this may be tough, but it's fixable”).

After recovering from her battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the late 1990's Shannon Hartey had a number of late effects that bothered her until 2020. By that time Shannon was in her early 30's  and these late effects got so bad, that Shannon was unable to know from day to day whether the intense  pain level that she was receiving in her head for a variety of reasons  combined with other cognitive issues that can happen to her at any time , will allow her to have even a normal day.

What Shannon has been diagnosed with, all because of her treatment for ALL which she received after this form of Pediatric Blood Cancer was discovered when she was 6 years old in 1994, is known as SMART SYNDROME. These late effects are almost totally unheard of, and have been very difficult for some of the best oncologists and doctors to have an answer for.

Diagnosed at just 3 months old, Sophie has lived with the challenges of a genetic condition that affects her lungs and digestive system and once carried a life expectancy of under 30 years. But Sophie's story is not defined by limitation—it's a bold testament to resilience, courage, and the power of hope. From working in fostering services to hiking the Welsh coast with her dogs, swimming in cold water, and sleeping in her campervan—Sophie has never shied away from living life on her terms.  In this episode, she opens up about the life-changing impact of the Kaftrio drug trial, how she overcame mental health struggles, and what it truly meant to embrace life beyond the horizon by rowing across the Atlantic.

Sophie's message is powerful and universal—you are capable of so much more than you think.

Let's be real . . . Motherhood is overwhelming for anyone. But I've recently learned that if you're a mom with ADHD, sometimes even the most basic tasks — like folding laundry, starting dinner, or replying to one more school email — can feel paralyzing. And I just have to say, if this is you . . . you're not lazy. You're not failing. And you're definitely not alone. In this episode of Chick Chat, I sat down with Amy Marie Hann, a mom, coach, and author of the upcoming book Master the Mundane, to talk about what it really looks like to manage motherhood, home, and family life with ADHD. Whether you've been diagnosed or you've just always felt a step behind when it comes to organizing, planning, or staying on top of everything, this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and empowered. Who Is Amy Marie Hann? Amy Marie Hann is a certified coach, author, and mom of three who brings a deeply personal lens to everything she teaches. Diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5, she's navigated life, motherhood, marriage, and even homeschooling through the lens of neurodivergence. Not only is she ADHD herself, but so are her kids, husband, dad, and sister, making her insights incredibly relatable that resonates with so many moms feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day. Amy is the author of the soon-to-be-released book Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD, launching September 10th. In her book, she combines lived experience with practical tools to help moms get through the hardest part of motherhood: the day-to-day chaos. She's known for her authenticity, humor, and compassionate approach to coaching women who are neurodivergent or simply burned out. What We Talked About This episode is full of validation and practical advice for moms who struggle with executive function, mental overload, and burnout, whether officially diagnosed with ADHD or not. Amy breaks down what's actually happening in the ADHD brain and how ADHD moms can stop beating themselves up for not being able to “just do it.” Here are some of the key topics we explored together: The moment motherhood collided with her ADHD Why simple tasks feel so hard What “Master the Mundane” really means How to stop relying on systems that weren't built for your brain Tips for tackling executive dysfunction What emotional support for ADHD moms should look like Getting diagnosed (or not) And one of my favorite parts? When Amy reminded us that the best thing we can do for our ADHD kids is to model what it looks like to thrive with ADHD ourselves. Final Thoughts Whether you're managing ADHD, burnout, or just the day-to-day stress of motherhood, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken — you just need better tools and support. Amy's wisdom is a breath of fresh air for any mom who's ever felt like the mundane parts of life were swallowing her whole. With compassion, humor, and zero judgment, she gives us permission to do things our own way and shows us that thriving doesn't mean doing everything. It means building systems that support you!

If you're a mom with ADHD (or parenting kids with ADHD), daily life can feel like constant overcommitment, burnout, and chaos. But what if instead of pushing harder, you learned to strategically parent your brain? In this conversation, I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann—author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD which comes out September 10, 2025. Diagnosed at five with ADHD and raising three neurodivergent kids, Amy brings both lived experience and practical strategies for building rhythms that actually work for the ADHD brain. Together we talk about: The differences between the boredom zone, depletion zone, ADHD burnout, and activation zone—and how to recognize which one you're in Why urgency feels motivating but creates unnecessary chaos in everyday life (and what to do instead) What “executive function capacity” is, and how to “budget” it like a bank account How to use the Daily 3 to keep life moving even on burnout or low-energy days A realistic plan for balancing novelty with capacity so you don't overcommit How to ditch “rage decluttering” and instead create sustainable habits for your home If you've ever felt like your ADHD brain is working against you, this episode will help you see that it's not broken - it just needs the right strategies and support to thrive.   About Amy: Amy Marie Hann is the author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD.

Juno Wollf was born on October 11th of 2022 and was doing well until James noticed a lump under his right armpit. As happens too often, the doctors who looked at Juno did not figure out that this lump was an indication of a Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor, which was finally diagnosed on December 17th of 2022. Just 47 days after Juno's diagnosis on February of 2023, he passed away from this form of Pediatric Cancer, which is diagnosed in 20-25 kids each year. Juno only lived for a total of 114 days.

When we think about better time management and how to increase productivity, it's tempting to believe that if we could perfectly color-code our calendars or find the best scheduling hack, all the overwhelm and stress would disappear. Those of us who have tried those methods time and again, yet still feel overworked and frustrated, know they're not the quick fix we want them to be. Here's the good news: increasing productivity gets easier when you embrace holistic time management and accept yourself right where you are.In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you an incredible interview with productivity coach Neill Williams. Neill is a Master Coach who specializes in helping female entrepreneurs improve productivity, efficiency, and performance, and she hosts the podcast, Success Genius. She is an advocate for taking care of yourself and building a business that truly supports you. You'll love her insights on how to increase productivity in a way that aligns with the life you want to create.One of the things I admire most about Neill's approach to productivity is how she focuses on its connection to science and physiology. Productivity isn't just about the clock—your mind, body, and emotions play a huge role in your time management. When we force ourselves to stick to a calendar or use external tools to fit the mold of productivity, we reinforce patterns of overworking and stress. Neill invites you to accept the unique state of your body, mind, and emotions to unlock a new kind of productivity–one that actually works for you.The most important factor in increasing productivity is taking into account what's happening inside of you–embracing it as part of your efficiency power, rather than something that's wrong with you. I'm so glad you're here with me to discover a new way forward. Let's do it!What you'll learn:The powerful impact of the nervous system on productivity and performanceWhat to do when your physiology doesn't match the plan you made on your calendarHow your “body budget” impacts focus and efficiencyExamples of tools to use to calm your nervous system and increase focusWhy slowing down can actually increase productivityYou can read the full show notes here.About Neill Williams Neill Williams is a Master Certified Life Coach, productivity expert, and host of the "Success Genius" podcast. After burning out as a corporate actuary working 60-80 hour weeks, Neill discovered how to leverage neuroscience and circadian rhythms to build successful coaching practice working just 10 hours per week.

FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_What would it be like if you could see music as colors dancing in front of your eyes? For Justine Glaser, that's just a normal Tuesday.Justine is a creative force who doesn't just hear music, she sees it. Diagnosed with ADHD at age 3 and born with synesthesia, a rare neurological trait where sound shows up as color, Justine has always experienced the world differently. Instead of masking these traits, she's made them her superpower. As the founder of Blue Midnight Music and Colors by Midnight, she creates work that's bold, multi-sensory, and completely original.Diagnosed so young that her babysitter lost weight chasing her around, Justine's childhood was marked by curiosity, creativity, and, unfortunately, relentless bullying from ages 8 to 16. She calls the K-12 system "broken" for her neurodivergent brain, but everything changed when she left traditional school behind. Art school became her sanctuary, where her project-based learning style finally made sense.In this conversation, Justine and Tracy dive deep into how synesthesia shapes creativity, why she believes color comes from "an inherent sense of self," and how she creates personalized color palettes by listening to people's voices. They talk about performing as an alter ego named Blue Midnight, why ADHD makes it easier (not harder) to blend multiple disciplines, and how she's learned to honor her need for breaks and nature to stay creative.Justine's journey from a bullied kid drawing on people's houses to a multi-disciplinary artist proves that what makes you different isn't something to fix—it's your greatest gift.Resources:Website: https://www.bluemidnightmusic.com Website:  https://www.colorsbymidnight.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/justine-glaser-cdi-ccd-36aa4a1a8 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | MessageInstead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?
