Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class Recorded at the NAPA Now Conference celebrating NAPA Auto Care's 100th anniversary, this conversation dives into the realities of emerging automotive technologies, especially ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems). The discussion emphasizes the critical need for proper calibration procedures, equipment, and technician training to keep pace with rapidly evolving tech. From static vs. dynamic calibrations to the integration of AR/VR tools, the panel explores the industry's struggles to adopt new technology and the personal traits, like hyperfocus, needed to thrive in today's complex diagnostic landscape. The takeaway: adaptation, education, and investment are no longer optional; they're essential for staying competitive. Bill Weaver, NAPA Autotech Trainer.

Hope you enjoy, and see you in two weeks.  What makes being a mom with ADHD so hard? Navigating executive functions and emotional labor, for one. And feeling burned out when burnout isn't an option — because there's always something else that needs your very limited attention!Talking about it with someone who just “gets it” is such a relief. In this episode, Laura talks to her friend and colleague Rae Jacobson, also a mom with ADHD.

Avec Philippe Violon, neurologue spécialisé dans le TDAH chez l'adulte, on a exploré en profondeur ce qu'est le trouble du déficit de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité. On a parlé des mécanismes neurologiques impliqués, notamment le rôle de la dopamine et de la noradrénaline, et des difficultés de régulation qui en découlent. On a aussi abordé les traitements disponibles, comme le méthylphénidate, pour enfin discuter de la façon dont la société perçoit et stygmatise les personnes concernées.00:00:00 Intro00:02:27 Présentations00:06:30 Nommer le TDAH : un débat sur les termes00:11:14 Clichés sur le TDAH : un trouble d'enfant et de garçon ?00:17:02 Prévalence et diagnostic du TDAH dans la population00:22:04 Liens entre TDAH et autres troubles neurodéveloppementaux00:28:24 Le rôle de la dopamine et des réseaux cérébraux00:36:00 Dysfonctions exécutives : impact au quotidien00:47:07 Paralysie, procrastination et stigmatisation00:57:44 Hyperfocus et forces des personnes TDAH01:08:20 Les traitements médicamenteux : méthylphénidate et alternatives01:20:41 Stigmatisation et responsabilité sociétale01:29:36 Problèmes en Belgique : remboursements et formation01:38:24 Les réseaux sociaux : entre désinformation et sensibilisation01:49:28 OutroNote: le sommaire et la liste de chapitres ont été générés par un outil IA.SEPTANTE MINUTES AVECEmail: contact@septanteminutes.beYouTube : ⁠⁠⁠Septante Minutes Avec⁠⁠⁠Instagram et Threads : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GuiHachez⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Septante Minutes Avec

Scott Anthony Barlow: Happen to Your Career Scott Anthony Barlow is CEO of Happen To Your Career and host of the Happen to Your Career podcast. His team and him are focused on helping people find the work they love. He's also the author of the book, Happen to Your Career: An Unconventional Approach to Career Change and Meaningful Work*. You've been laid off, or someone close to you is navigating that reality right now. A lot of the first things we think to do after a layoff are wrong. In this episode, Scott and I explore what to avoid…and more importantly, where to begin anew. Key Points Most people underestimate the time it takes to mean a transition to the next, right position. Submitting tons of applications, networking everywhere, and telling everyone that you're looking feels productive, but is often either incomplete or a waste of time. Give yourself the space to grieve. Spend time with the people who care about you. This didn't happen to you, it happened for you. Whether objectively true or not, this mindset will help you be intentional about next actions. Hyperfocus your targeting by creating a master resume and also considering backdoors to opportunities. Decide when to hire help by using math – how much will expertise help speed up the process and/or help you land a higher salary?

This week Monique chats with Sienna Macalister (they/them), who listeners may know by their Instagram handle @sienna.stims, about being an Autistic person with high support needs. Sienna is a non-binary, ‘unreliably speaking’ Autistic advocate, diagnosed with Autism Level 3. They are multiply neurodivergent and have a number of co-occurring health conditions, including Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Sienna is passionate about creating a world where Autistic people are not just accepted but celebrated, with a deep affinity for exploring neurodivergence with nuance. Monique and Sienna cover: What does ‘unreliably speaking’ mean? What neurodivergence means to Sienna and the importance of understanding the term to mean more than just Autism and ADHD. Sienna’s experience of early diagnosis of Autism and the diagnostic overshadowing this led to, particularly around diagnosis of their health conditions. The evolution of Sienna’s neurodivergent identity. Sienna’s experience of using mobility, communication, and health and wellbeing supports. Support needs, disability, and therapeutic intervention as a valid part of the neurodivergent experience, and the difference between affirming and non-affirming therapies. The role of lateral violence and internalised ableism in excluding people with higher support needs from the cultural conversation on Autism. Sienna’s suggestions to increase inclusion and representation for Autistic people with higher support needs. Sienna’s current special interest – budgie breeding! Find Sienna on TikTok and Instagram @sienna.stims, on their professional Instagram @sienna.macalister_media, or on YouTube @sienna_stims.

It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for – a peek inside Hugh’s brain. After our episode with psychologist and ADHD expert Janelle Booker - and a reboot of his algorithm that Hugh related to on a spiritual level - Hugh began to wonder whether his time-blindness, reject sensitivity and inability to focus on things he wasn’t interested in, could be explained by ADHD. Turns out, yeah. Hugh pretty much definitely has ADHD. Exploring Hugh’s lived experience, Ryan and Josh chat through how Hugh has reconciled his incredible frustrations into acknowledgment and celebration for his strengths.

Have you ever noticed that your sense of time feels strangely elastic—sometimes minutes drag on endlessly, and other times hours vanish in a blink? If you have ADHD, this experience likely resonates deeply. This phenomenon, often called "time blindness," significantly impacts everyday life, from managing tasks and deadlines to social interactions and self-care routines.But why exactly is this such a persistent challenge for people with ADHD? Let's delve into the neuroscience behind time perception, understand why this struggle is more pronounced for ADHDers, and explore evidence-backed strategies and tools to help navigate daily life more effectively.⏰Understanding Time Blindness In ADHD brains, several neural networks responsible for tracking and managing time are impacted, including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. These areas are essential for precise time estimation, maintaining attention, and executing planned actions. Neuroimaging studies have shown reduced activity in these regions among individuals with ADHD, leading to significant impairments in accurately perceiving and managing time.Dopamine dysregulation also profoundly impacts time perception. Dopamine is critical for sustaining attention, regulating motivation, and anticipating rewards. In ADHD, irregular dopamine signaling leads the brain to rely excessively on external stimulation to perceive the passing of time, causing difficulties in maintaining an internal sense of timing.

It's tax time here in the US, and those of us with ADHD traits are paying extra! Have you heard of the ADHD tax? I'm referring to those invisible costs that affect entrepreneurs and solopreneurs with ADHD, draining not only finances but also well-being and relationships. From late fees and impulse buys to missed deadlines and opportunities, these ADHD-related financial and time-related costs pile up. But it's not just about the money; health and relationship costs make this tax even more significant. Hyperfocus, high energy, and boundless creativity are enviable traits for entrepreneurs that those of us with ADHD have in abundance, but the flipside is that we are paying the ADHD tax in multiple different ways, and ignoring them is creating dangerous blind spots in your business. This fast-moving solo episode is full of relatable metaphors and analogies so you won't forget the message, plus easy-to-implement strategies to patch up the "leaks" in our resource bucket. We'll explore time-saving techniques, task initiation rituals, and much more. Whether you want to protect your health, nurture relationships, or stop springing costly resource leaks in your business, I'm love to help you pay less ADHD tax and enjoy life more!Mic drop moment: “Now, for entrepreneurs and small business owners with ADHD, this invisible tax doesn't just drain your bank account.

Join health and science journalist Danielle Elliot as she investigates the rise of women recently diagnosed with ADHD. Listen to Climbing the Walls now.It often seems that the more complex a subject is, the more people tend to oversimplify it.If your social media feeds are anything like mine, that's definitely the case. Especially when it comes to science. One of those often-oversimplified things is dopamine. This neurotransmitter, or brain chemical, has become a target for catchy headlines promising new ways to “hack your dopamine.” Seriously. If you don't believe me, type in “dopamine hacks” on YouTube and enjoy the endless scroll.This week on Hyperfocus, we take a deep dopamine dive with psychologist Dr. Ari Tuckman and sort out fact from fiction.Related resourcesHow I beat my social media habit (and how you can too)Tips from an ADHD Coach: Is it love or is it dopamine?Attention: How it's different from working memoryTimestamps(3:01) What is dopamine? (8:48) How do dopamine and ADHD relate? (16:59) The truth behind dopamine “hacks” (25:25) What a clinician wishes we knewFor a transcript and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus page on Understood.We'd love to hear from you.

Hey everyone! Welcome or welcome back to Authentically ADHD with me, Carmen! How is it going? Isnt it insane that its march already? This time of year, is a particularly hard time for us. We slip into burnout easier, we procrastinate more, as we crave the summer sun and regulated sleep because winter is just too long. I may be talking from personal experience but if you relate to this idea, todays episode is definitely for you.Today, we're diving into one of the most double-edged traits of the ADHD brain: hyperfocus. If you've ever found yourself completely locked into a task for hours, forgetting to eat, sleep, or even go to the bathroom—yeah, you've been in hyperfocus mode. But here's the catch: what goes up must come down, and that's where burnout sneaks in.Today's episode is all about understanding how to harness hyperfocus without burning out. We'll break down:✅ What hyperfocus actually is✅ How to use it to your advantage✅ The warning signs of burnout✅ And seven science-backed strategies to create balance so you can stay productive without crashing!Are you ready? Lets get started !Segment 1: What is Hyperfocus?Hyperfocus is one of ADHD's most fascinating traits. It's when we become completely absorbed in an activity—sometimes to the point where hours fly by without noticing. It's not just being “focused”; it's more like entering a deep trance of concentration.Research Insight: Studies suggest that ADHD brains struggle with self-directed attention, meaning we have trouble regulating what we focus on. But when something stimulates dopamine, like a passion project or a high-interest task, we get locked in (Hupfeld et al., 2019).Common Hyperfocus Triggers:✔️ Creative work (art, writing, music)✔️ Video games or coding✔️ Researching a new interest✔️ Deadlines that create a sense of urgency✔️ Problem-solving challengesHyperfocus can be a gift—but only if we control it, not the other way around. So, how do we harness it?Segment 2: How to Harness Hyperfocus (Instead of Letting It Wreck You)Hyperfocus is powerful, but when left unchecked, it can lead to skipped meals, sleep deprivation, and neglecting responsibilities. Here's how you can make it work for you:1️⃣ Set Time Limits with External Cues – Use alarms, timers, or a buddy system to remind yourself to take breaks.2️⃣ Choose Your Hyperfocus Wisely – Prioritize projects that align with your goals rather than just whatever feels exciting in the moment.3️⃣ Use It for Deep Work – Schedule hyperfocus sessions when you need to tackle big tasks, like writing, brainstorming, or studying.4️⃣ Pair it with Body Needs – Stack hyperfocus with activities like drinking water, stretching, or taking snack breaks.But even with good management, hyperfocus can still lead to burnout if we're not careful. Let's talk about how to recognize burnout before it takes over.

We're running a survey to see how podcasts help women with ADHD learn about mental health and health-related topics. Make your voice heard today.We're back with another episode from our Hyperfocus field trip to San Diego. While we were at the APSARD (American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders) conference, one of the talks that really piqued our interest was on genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD. Genetic science is tough to understand. And, as you'll hear in this interview, we had a lot to learn and a lot of questions. Is ADHD genetic? And if it is, what does that mean for people who have it? What does it mean for treatment? Luckily, Dr. Anne Arnett, a scientist at Boston Children's Hospital and assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical school, was kind enough to brave a chilly, windy outdoor recording. In this conversation, she help us understand more about what we know (and what we don't) about ADHD and genetics. Related resourcesVideo: Dyscalculia, dyslexia, and geneticsCan genetic testing help me find the right ADHD medication?Is ADHD hereditary?ADHD runs in the family (Michelle's story)The Arnett Lab at Boston Children's HospitalTimestamps(2:01) Is ADHD genetic?(8:28) Genetic vs. environmental factors and ADHD co-morbidities(11:50) What does the latest research mean for people with ADHD?(13:55) Is there genetic testing for ADHD?(18:56) Why bother with early detection?  (21:44) Anne's goals for her researchFor a transcript and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus page on Understood.We'd love to hear from you.

“You know what? Every founder up here who has got this exponential growth that you think happens overnight,' he said to me, ‘each one of those has eight years of zero, but they never f***ing gave up.”Success in business isn't about having the flashiest idea; it's about solving a real, pressing problem. Too many startups focus on a vision of scale before they've even validated their core offering. The most successful founders are those who hyper-focus on a single problem, test their solution relentlessly, and avoid the trap of building something nobody actually needs. Without solving a genuine problem, a business is just a hobby with overhead.Justin Wood knows this better than most. As a serial entrepreneur and agency owner, he's spent years helping founders avoid the all-too-common pitfalls of tech startups. His approach? Learn from failure, mitigate risk, and ensure entrepreneurs don't bet their entire financial future on unproven concepts.Justin Wood is the founder of Produktiv, an agency dedicated to helping startups and businesses refine their strategies and scale effectively.

Earlier this year, Hyperfocus took a field trip to San Diego for an ADHD conference called APSARD, which stands for the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders (quite a mouthful).A conference of ADHD professionals might not sound fascinating, but it was — and we learned a ton. But there was one person and one talk I really wanted to find: A keynote speech about how ADHD affects women's bodies by Dr. Sandra Kooij. What Sandra is doing is something so sensible and radical: Looking at ADHD as a whole-body issue. Digging into how it can affect women's hormones, our health, and especially our hearts. I find Sandra's research fascinating and was thrilled when she agreed to sit down for a conversation with me. We didn't waste any time and quickly set up a makeshift studio for this week's episode of Hyperfocus. Also, a quick note on the audio this week: We had to record this episode outside the conference hotel, on a bustling patio full of ADHD professionals and some noisy birds. So, please forgive the extraneous sounds. Related resourcesMissUnderstood: The ADHD in Women ChannelDid my ADHD make me more likely to have postpartum depression?ADHD Powerbank: Sandra's video platformThe Head, Heart, Hormones foundation (in dutch with translations) Prevalence of hormone-related mood disorder symptoms in women with ADHD The heart health and ADHD connectionTimestamps(4:07) Swedish registry study data on diseases in people with ADHD(7:06) ADHD and hormones  (13:56) Cardiovascular disease in women(20:21) Talking to your doctor about diseases related to ADHDFor a transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus page on Understood.org.We'd love to hear from you.

Dr. Kathleen Nadeau is someone who I'd call one of the godmothers of ADHD in women. She was one of the first people to stand up to the medical establishment and say, “Yes, ADHD affects women and girls, and we need to do something about it.”She persisted against the gatekeepers who'd call her and her peers “ADHD wannabes,” responding to their dismissal by writing books, conducting research, and being fierce advocates. Dr. Nadeau is also one of my personal heroes, and someone I've looked up to for years. That's all to say: I'm very excited to share with you this week's episode of Hyperfocus. Listen or watch as we discuss the history of ADHD in women and girls, what the DSM misses on ADHD, gender inequality in the medical community, and more. Related resourcesDr. Nadeau's biography at The Chesapeake CenterMissUnderstood: The ADHD in Women ChannelWhat is the ADHD tax?Timestamps(1:55) Dr. Nadeau's early days and “ADHD wannabes”(14:33) How should we diagnose ADHD in women?(16:30) Women being shut out of the medical establishment(20:25) “Ask the women”For a transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus episode page on Understood.We'd love to hear from you.

ADHD medications have been in the news a lot lately, especially stimulants. In this bonus episode of Hyperfocus, host and mental health journalist Rae Jacobson talks about two U.S. policy items that could affect people with ADHD.First, an executive order from February 13 established the “Make America Healthy Again Commission.” The executive order specifically mentions ADHD and the rise in diagnoses and medication usage among children. The order also requires the commission to “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs.” Dr. Andy Kahn, a licensed psychologist, joins Rae to discuss the notion that people with ADHD, especially kids, are overmedicated. Plus, Rae discusses proposed regulatory changes for controlled substances, including ADHD stimulants. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) issued its proposal on January 17, before the current administration took office. If accepted, the proposed changes would affect telehealth prescriptions for ADHD stimulant medications. The DEA is accepting comments through March 18.Related resourcesAll about ADHD medicationFull text: White House executive orderRead the DEA's proposed telemedicine regulations What happens to my child's IEP if the U.S. Department of Education closes?Timestamps(0:38) What does the new executive order say about ADHD? (4:04) What does “overmedicated” mean today? (6:08) On stigma and ADHD(9:56) What is the new DEA telehealth proposal?For a transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus episode page on Understood. We love hearing from our listeners.

This week on the show, I'm hyperfocusing not on a topic or a question, but a person: the neurodivergent comedian and actor Emma Willmann. You might know Emma from her comedy (she's done stand-up on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) or her acting (she played “Beth” on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend).But I didn't want to know about any of that. I wanted to spend some time with the person who has made a career out of smart, inclusive humor and understand how she does it. Plus, we talk about her ADHD and dyslexia diagnoses.Related resourcesEmma's websiteEmma on InstagramListen: How to manage ADHD at workADHD and creativityTimestamps(1:58) Breaking up with your phone(5:39) Comparing and contrasting ADHD types(9:53) If you could get rid of your ADHD, would you?  (15:04) Is ADHD good for a stand-up comic?For a transcript and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus page on Understood.We love hearing from our listeners.

Sometimes, our brains spiral and it seems like there's nothing we can do about it. This can happen to anyone. Maybe you have an awkward social interaction and can't stop thinking about it — then your mind jumps to worse and worse scenarios, far from what actually happened. And for those of us with ADHD, it can be extra difficult to exit that spiral. A situation like this happened to Rae Jacobson recently. Thankfully, she had an interview on the books with Dr. Jodi Gold, a psychiatrist who also has ADHD. Jodi specializes in psychotherapy of anxiety and mood disorders — perfect. On this episode of Hyperfocus, Rae and Jodi have an impromptu therapy session featuring a discussion of automatic thoughts, mood dysregulation, and rejection sensitivity. And, yes, “ADHD rabbit holes.”Related resourcesThe influence of ADHD on social skillsAnxiety, imposter syndrome, and ADHD (Mallory's story)What is perseveration?Timestamps(2:23) Rae's situation(6:56) What do we really mean by “rabbit hole?”(13:00) On automatic thoughts(17:53) Masking and people-pleasingWe love hearing from our listeners.

This chat with Gillespo was recorded on New Year's Day and not surprisingly, the conversation took a few turns with perhaps the most interesting (and relevant for many of us) topic being that of our capacity (or lack thereof) to be able to focus, control our attention and keep our mind where we need it to be for efficiency, productivity and (in broad terms) successful outcomes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Living with ADHD: My Journey to Understanding In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with ADHD, a condition that's been both a challenge and a unique part of who I am. From my restless childhood to my career as an adult navigating deadlines, relationships, and responsibilities, I share the ups, downs, and surprising discoveries I've made along the way. ADHD isn't just about being distracted or hyper—it's about learning how to manage a brain that works a little differently. I'll take you through what it's like to live with ADHD, what I've learned about myself, and how I've found strategies that actually work. - What ADHD Feels Like from the Inside:I describe what it was like growing up with ADHD before I even knew what it was. From constant fidgeting to disappearing into my "happy place," I share how these traits shaped my childhood and how I learned to navigate them. - Hyperfocus, Inattention, and Time Blindness:ADHD isn't just about being easily distracted. I dive into how hyperfocus and time blindness have impacted my life—sometimes helping me achieve big things and other times making me feel stuck. - The Emotional Side of ADHD:The frustration of being labeled “lazy” or “unfocused” when I was really trying my best weighed heavily on me. I talk about how those feelings affected my self-esteem and how I've worked to reframe my relationship with ADHD. - Tools and Strategies That Changed My Life:I share how tools like planners, apps, and external accountability helped me find structure in the chaos. These strategies didn't just make my life easier—they helped me embrace my strengths. Takeaways: 1. You're Not Alone in This: ADHD looks different for everyone, but the struggles are real and shared. There's no shame in seeking help or finding creative ways to cope.2. Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Whether it's setting up a simple to-do list or finding a supportive community, small actions can create meaningful progress.3. Focus on What Works for You: From embracing technology to leaning into what motivates me, I've learned that it's about finding solutions that fit your life—not trying to mold yourself into someone else's idea of “normal.” Closing Thoughts:I hope my story inspires you to rethink how you approach ADHD—whether it's your own or someone else's. It's not about “fixing” yourself; it's about finding what works and creating a life that fits you. If you'd like to share your story or ask me questions, email me at jill@startwithsmallsteps.com.

Drugs and alcohol can provide a hit of dopamine, albeit a temporary one. That's why it's so common for people with untreated ADHD to self-medicate. Elaine O'Brien used to fit that ADHD archetype to a tee. Eventually, though, she entered recovery and also started practicing Ashtanga yoga, a style that she describes as “very rigorous and very codified.”She fell for the physicality of the practice and the routine it demands. “It got me in my body and I started to feel good,” she says. “I really started to feel good.”For years, Elaine had struggled with substance issues and untreated ADHD. She's been in recovery for almost two decades but recently began to wonder if the ADHD diagnosis she'd rejected in high school might actually be right.How did her journey take this path?

(Its full name is The Berkeley Girls with ADHD Longitudinal Study, but most people know it by that shorthand or acronym: The BGALs Study.)Under Steve's leadership, researchers began studying 140 girls with ADHD and a control group of nearly 90 girls without it. They've been following these girls into their adulthood, producing a reams of information that has helped shape current understanding of ADHD in women and girls. That said, Rae Jacobson had plenty of questions for Steve: Why did you want to study ADHD in girls at a time when it was typically seen as a boys' disorder? Why is it that one type of ADHD seems to lead to such negative outcomes? What do we do about the stigma that still surrounds the disorder? Related resourcesSteve's booksThe 3 types of ADHDHow ADHD can affect your mental healthTimestamps(2:20) The beginnings of The Berkeley Girls study(4:26) Combined-type ADHD and negative outcomes(9:18) Self-esteem, ADHD, and girlhood(16:20) ADHD as a “trend”(20:40) What to do about ADHD stigma   To get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, visit the Hyperfocus podcast page at Understood.orgWe love hearing from our listeners.

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of ADHD-ish! I'm your host, Diann Wingert, and my guest is burnout coach for highly sensitive and neurodivergent women, Paula Liub. In this timely discussion, we'll explore why hydration, nutrition, sleep, and physical activity are essential for effective executive functioning and how hyper focus can sometimes lead us to neglect these basic needs. Paula will give us practical strategies to reduce burnout, emphasizing the importance of pre-planning, simplifying tasks, and setting realistic boundaries. We'll also dissect the societal pressures to overwork and misunderstandings surrounding burnout and ADHD, and why mindfulness, often resisted by those with ADHD, can be a game-changer Whether you're struggling with holiday stress or everyday work-life balance, this episode is packed with tips and insights to help you prioritize self-care and navigate through life's demands more effectively. Highlights of our conversation:The Role of Interoception and BoundariesInteroception, or the sense of internal body signals, plays a crucial role in managing burnout. Neurodivergent women often face challenges in perceiving their own needs and setting appropriate boundaries. Hyperfocus may increase productivity, but often leads to neglecting or ignoring our needs. Listen for tips for how to balance the two. Mindfulness Over PerfectionismPaula and I discuss the benefits of mindfulness as a preventive strategy that helps protect us from burnout. Mindfulness is not just about meditation but involves being intentional with daily actions and choices. Paula defines mindfulness as paying attention to the present moment, understanding the benefits and consequences of actions, and adjusting habits to avoid negative side effects, such as excessive screen time.Planning with FlexibilityThe holiday season can exacerbate stress and pressure, especially for neurodivergent women. Paula suggests practical strategies such as pre-planning events with rest periods and simplifying tasks like gift shopping. I shared my favorite strategy for “stretching” our time horizon: using a wall-sized dry erase calendar that encourages us to anticipate future events and needs. Paula's perspective on planning is that it doesn't have to be rigid but rather provides an overview of what's possible and helps manage energy and commitments realistically. This flexible approach allows for adjustments as needed and prioritizes well-being over rigorous schedules.Paula Liub is a burnout coach for sensitive, neurodivergent women, who combines a degree in psychology with two decades of experience in mindfulness practices and other strategies for emotional regulation and self awareness. Here's how to connect with Paula: Website - LinkedIn - Neurodivergent Wellness Basics Newsletter One of the most common reasons female entrepreneurs, creatives and small business owners hire me is because “business as usual” is leading them toward burnout. Sometimes the changes we need to make involve better boundaries with clients and team members, sometimes we need to raise our prices and restrict the scope of our work. These changes can be really hard to commit to and implement without guidance, support...

On the surface, these initiatives are supposed to foster inclusion and make working better for everyone.But host Rae Jacobson wondered: Do these initiatives actually do anything, or are they just good marketing? She put the question to Rachel Lowenstein, a brand consultant and content creator whose job involves working with business leaders to make workplaces more inclusive.Rachel explains how these efforts can create positive change and aren't just neurowashing (think greenwashing, but for neurodiversity inclusion). And she also shares why these efforts are personal for her as a woman with autism. Related resources5 ways you can help your workplace be more inclusiveSurvey reveals workplace stigma for neurodivergent employeesWhat is neurodiversity?Timestamps(4:11) How to make people relate to neurodiversity(11:18) The curb-cut effect: What helps me can help everyone(14:50) What does a neuroinclusive retail job look like?(20:39) Why a larger community is a stronger one To get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, visit the Hyperfocus podcast page at Understood.orgWe love hearing from our listeners.

We did it... we closed a deal in today's wacky market. And it was NOT easy. In this episode, we're going to breakdown the timeline of our most recent deal that we closed on just a few weeks ago. What we initially thought was only going to take 30-60 days, ended up taking 4+ months. We faced negotiations, renegotiations, and then renegotiating those renegotiations. We're not going to sugar coat it. It's tough out there. So, if you're in the middle of a deal right now, or you're planning on getting into one... this is just a little taste of what you can expect, and how we were able to navigate the current debt market to close on our latest multifamily deal.
