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!

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.

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)

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. Dana shares the latest science on the gut-brain connection and breaks down practical, evidence-based strategies that families can start using right away—from healing leaky gut to choosing the right supplements. Whether your child is currently on medication, recently diagnosed, or you're just searching for real solutions, this episode offers a powerful new lens on how to support your child naturally, from the inside out.

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!

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?

Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...
Up to 20% of the global workforce is likely to be neurodivergent and mostly undiagnosed. Understanding how to unlock the full potential of people with non-typical brains should be important to all employers. The difference between the right and wrong job fit for someone with ADHD or other neurodivergent conditions can be the difference between struggling daily and becoming a top performer. So what if the key to creating exceptional teams lies not in trying to fit everyone into the same mold, but in asking the right questions to understand what each person needs to thrive? My guest this week is Shell Mendelson, an ADHD career coach with 35 years of experience helping neurodivergent individuals find their ideal work fit. In our conversation, Shell shares her proven process for identifying the "must-haves" that enable neurodivergent employees to perform at their highest level and explains why understanding individual needs benefits both employees and employers. In the interview, we discuss: The challenges for ND people at work Why everyone's needs are different The benefits of recognising the spectrum of different brains in your organization The contradictions of neurodiversity The importance of job fit and asking the right questions How small accommodations can make a massive impact Making work better for everyone Recruiting Future helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.

Transformative Leadership Conversations with Winnie da Silva
"When we understand how our minds work—and honor the minds of others—we lead better." - Winnie da SilvaWhat if everything you've been told about ADHD only told half the story? What if the very traits that make it hard for you to stay on task could also be the ones that make you an incredible leader? In this opening episode of my ADHD and leadership series, I'm diving into what ADHD really is, how it shows up in the workplace, and why understanding it matters for every leader - whether you have ADHD yourself, work with someone who does, or just want to create a team culture where different kinds of brains can thrive. I'll also share a fictional but very real-to-life story of “Martina,” a leader whose career shifted the moment she stopped forcing herself to work against her brain and learned how to work with it.You'll hear me discuss:What ADHD actually is (and isn't), including how it affects brain chemistry and structureWhy ADHD looks different in adults - especially in women - and why it's often underdiagnosedThe challenges ADHD can bring at work, from time blindness to emotional swingsSurprising strengths many people with ADHD have, including creativity, adaptability, and hyperfocusPractical strategies to make work more ADHD-friendly, like body doubling, time blocking, and simplifying decisionsHow environment, support, and self-awareness can turn ADHD traits into leadership assetsThe fictional story of Martina, a leader who transformed her performance by building systems around her brain instead of trying to change itWhy honoring how your mind works - and the minds of others - can make you a more effective and inclusive leaderResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | Email - winnie@winnifred.orgArticles ReferencedUnderstanding ADHDAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)6 strengths and benefits of ADHDADHD in Adults: An Overview24 ADHD Statistics for 2024The Executive's Guide to ADHD: Tools for Enhanced Focus and Decision-Making in the Corporate WorldLeading with ADHD: A Practical Blueprint for Sustainable SuccessThe Adult Hyperfocus and Motivation Scale: A Pilot Studyhttps://totallyadd.com/wp-content/uploads/White_Shah_ADHDCreativity_PAID.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.comUninhibited imaginations: Creativity in adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity DisorderHyperfocus: The Forgotten Frontier of AttentionLiving "in the zone": hyperfocus in adult ADHDWhat Are the Benefits of Having ADHD?The unique contribution of emotional impulsiveness to impairment in major life activities in hyperactive children as adultsUnderstanding Hypersensitivity in ADHD

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?

Hey friend, welcome to Girls Night — a podcast for women who are figuring out what's next. Whether you're focused on career, dating, getting married, having kids, or honestly just trying to figure out your life right now — this show gives you expert guidance and practical next steps to create a life you genuinely love, not one someone else thinks you should live. 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. Greer is the host of The Unfinished Idea podcast and a passionate advocate for neurodivergent families, helping others build lives that actually work for their unique brains. I learned SO much from this conversation. I can't wait for you to hear it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you've ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I end up here — and where the heck are my shoes?” — this episode is for you. Whether you're stuck in a shame spiral over clutter, afraid to start because you might fail (again), or dreaming of a better life but don't know how to take that first step… you are so not alone. In this raw and honest episode, I share the unfiltered story of how I went from total chaos (like, literal hoarder-level mess, bad decisions, and breaking the law kind of chaos) to finding purpose, peace, and a really clean kitchen. We walk down memory lane — from ADHD-fueled disasters to building the Clutterbug community, from a flip cam and a dream to YouTube, books, podcasts, and even a fire truck (yup, you read that right). This one's not just a highlight reel — it's a messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reminder that you don't need to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just need rules, limits, vision boards, and a dash of delusional self-belief. You'll hear the power of finding your people, discovering your style, and finally realizing that you're not messy — you just organize differently. ✨ We chat about: What it's really like to fail (a lot) and keep going anyway The chaotic backstory behind Clutterbug (and how it almost didn't happen) Vision boards, viral videos, and how to manifest your dream life — one basket at a time How “It's not a cat” became a clutter mantra (and a t-shirt!) What to keep when you're living in a “temporary but forever” space Why your kids don't think you're cool — even if you're a YouTuber The life-changing magic of saying “I deserve this” — and meaning it
The fear of making mistakes can paralyze parents and prevent true connections with their kids. In this episode I explore this challenge with Drs. Lori and Mallory from the Childhood Collective, focusing on parents of neurodiverse children, particularly those with ADHD. We delve into the societal pressures and internal criticisms that complicate parenting and underscore the importance of striving for connection rather than perfection. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, we illustrate how embracing mistakes, practicing self-compassion, and prioritizing small steps can lead to more effective and fulfilling parenting. The episode also emphasizes the significance of repair work and offers actionable advice for handling guilt and missteps, ultimately framing imperfection as a gift to our children.
