Chris Bailey is the bestselling author of The Productivity Project, Hyperfocus, How to Calm Your Mind, and his newest release, Intentional.In this episode, Chris joins Andrew Coates to explore why so many capable, driven people still feel stuck, scattered, or unfulfilled—and how the issue is often not effort, but misalignment between goals, values, and intentions.Drawing from years of research and personal experimentation, Chris explains how clarity around values changes decision-making, why many popular productivity frameworks fail long-term, and how intention-based thinking can help you finish what you start and do more of what genuinely matters.IN THIS EPISODE, CHRIS SHARES INSIGHT ON:Why many people struggle with success despite working hardHow misaligned values quietly sabotage progressThe importance of getting clear on your core valuesHow to align goals with values for sustainable momentumThe 12 evidence-based primary goals people tend to pursueWhat an intention stack is and how to use oneWhy people are better at starting than finishingWhy goals are better viewed as predictions, not promisesThe importance of continual course correctionWhy the SMART goals framework lacks strong evidenceHow rigid goal-setting can hurt long-term successThe productivity and mental health benefits of meditationWhy letting your mind wander boosts creativityChris's personal experiences as a long-term authorAnd much moreI hope you will check out Chris's brand new book: IntentionalInstagram: @chrisbaileyauthCHAPTERS00:16 Meet Chris Bailey: Author and Productivity Expert00:57 Understanding Intentionality04:02 The Role of Values in Setting Intentions10:17 The Intention Stack: Aligning Values, Priorities, and Goals17:44 The Science of Goal Attainment26:49 Personal Practices for Emotional Wellbeing27:31 The Benefits of Meditation28:54 Strategic Use of Caffeine29:39 Sponsorship Aspirations31:05 Saying No to Stay Productive31:34 The Trap of Success34:19 The Power of Scatter Focus38:14 Book Sales and Expectations47:47 The Flaws of SMART Goals52:22 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you think more clearly about what you are working toward, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to someone who feels busy but misalignedFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

In this New Year's episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest make the case that most resolutions fail because they focus on the wrong things: outcomes and behaviors rather than key values. They explore how we can identify our important values, embrace caring about them, and start to let them change our behavior. Forrest talks about how we can differentiate authentic values from “conditions of worth,” and Dr. Rick shares a number of ways to get more in touch with what matters to you. Topics include translating “shoulds” into values, experiencing more autonomy and agency, creating personal narratives, and finding your “stance toward the year.” Key Topics:  0:00: Intro: values, self-concept, and levels of action 7:22: Living from states of having, doing, and being 13:09: Stances toward life based in threat versus opportunity; what are you paying attention to? 20:18: Examining “shoulds” to find and define your authentic values  33:30: Emulating the people you admire and respect most 41:55: Strategies to identify your root values  54:05: Recap Rick's Goals Course: If you want to get more out of the year ahead check out Rick's online course on resolutions that last.

Looking for the Bottleneck Reset Workshop? Click here for details: https://unconventionalorganisation.circle.so/checkout/bottleneck-reset-workshop-wednesday-jan-21stIf you have ADHD, you probably know this pattern. You're foggy, scattered, or stuck… until a deadline hits. Then suddenly, you're laser-focused, productive, unstoppable. And afterwards, you're wrecked. In this episode, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack why hyperfocus feels like the only way to get things done, and why it quietly creates more stress, burnout, and long-term chaos than most people realize. Using research on university students, we explore how executive function difficulties change the way ADHD brains access focus, why more ADHD symptoms often lead to more hyperfocus (not less), and why relying on pressure is not a sustainable strategy, even if it looks productive on the surface. This episode is for late-diagnosed adults, professionals, and business owners with ADHD who keep asking themselves: “Why do I only function when everything's urgent?” “And why does it always cost me afterwards?” What we cover:- Why hyperfocus shows up most when things feel critical or overwhelming - How executive function difficulties push ADHD brains into last-minute intensity - The difference between intense focus and sustainable focus - How hyperfocus borrows energy from your future self - What this pattern means for productivity, stress, and burnout long-term P.S. If your ADHD symptoms turn every business day into chaos—unfinished tasks piling up, revenue stuck, systems that don't stick—it's not you. It's your operating system. We help service business owners unblock their next $50-500k with simple systems that focus their brain. Watch this video to see how we do it, then take the program walkthrough.

Hate the gym/anxiety keeping you sidelined this NYE? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April hacks sustainable fitness for neurodivergent young adults with PJ Glassey, Exercise Science grad (1989), X Gym founder (1998), anti-aging/Alzheimer's expert (59 but looks 39), and Brain Type Test creator. PJ's 21-min workout (2x/week = 7 hrs traditional) tones/defines safely without bulking—invented from client experiments/research, now with Xercise App/online training since 2017. Key insights: Gym aversion fix: Quick/safe method (slow reps/holds for full fatigue—e.g., 7-10 sec pushups, 30-90 sec failure); focus/meditation trains PFC (reps like distractions in beginners). Motivation/discipline: 97% NY resolutions fail (unrealistic expectations); prolong via "why" questions (10-40 answers/post reminders); toward/away (e.g., avoid diabetic fate, become strong). Brain-body link: Exercise oxygenates/BDNF "Miracle-Gro" for cells/pathways; anti-aging/Alzheimer's 5 pillars (exercise/nutrition/hydration/sleep/brain training/relationships—hard ones best for PFC). ND application: Hyperfocus/procrastination? Method's focus counters (no TVs/mirrors/music); injury avoidance (controlled/form); burnout prevention (short sessions, patterns become identity). Brain Type Test: Rewires for success (custom habits/motivation); PJ's biohacking (tower running since 1987, Christian principles for business). For autistic/ADHD young adults ditching resolutions, PJ's vibe: "Change via brain rewiring—not muscling through." Free resources at xgym.com; braintype.me (test/book "Cracking Your Calorie Code").

En este episodio de Grandes Aprendizajes destilamos Hyperfocus, de Chris Bailey, una guía para recuperar tu atención en un mundo que compite por robártela. Descubrirás por qué tu “mesa mental” solo admite unas pocas cosas a la vez y cómo elegir un “destacado del día” cambia la jornada. Alternamos hiperfoco para ejecutar y dispersión útil para crear, evitando el residuo de las microinterrupciones que drenan tu rendimiento sin que te des cuenta.Bajamos a tierra con tácticas que caben hoy mismo: temporizador, lista de “pensamientos estacionados”, bloques sin correo, y la regla de los 20 segundos para reducir o aumentar fricción según te convenga. Protege tu energía cuando más rinde, planifica pausas creativas y entrena la atención volviendo una y otra vez a lo que importa. ¿Curiosidad por cómo dos o tres bloques bien hechos mueven más la aguja que un día entero atropellado? Al final, comparto la frase del libro que ordena todo lo demás.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/grandes-aprendizajes--5720587/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeLibro "Libertad Financiera" Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/libertadMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.comThis content is under Fair Use: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act in 1976; Allowance is made for "Fair Use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Not caring - or nonchalance - is having a cultural moment. Nihilism is in, trying too hard is cringe, and the best way to cope with an often disappointing world is by not getting that invested. There's just one problem: it's hard to live a meaningful life without caring. In this episode, Forrest and Dr. Rick close 2025 by making the case for healthy caring: choosing objects of care wisely, prioritizing process over outcome, and cultivating equanimity without slipping into apathy. They do this by exploring four common obstacles that keep people from caring, sharing practical ways to work with each of them. Key Topics:  Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

If you're AuDHD (autism + ADHD), life can feel like a constant contradiction: craving routine but rebelling against it, needing stimulation but getting overwhelmed, wanting connection but burning out socially. In this episode, Carmen breaks down what neurodivergence actually means (not a personality test), explains ADHD vs autism vs AuDHD, and gives practical, nervous-system-friendly strategies to build a life that fits your brain.Timestamped Chapters (approx)* 0:00 — Cold open: the AuDHD paradox in one breath* 1:30 — Neurodivergence: what it is (and what it isn't) Autistic Self Advocacy Network+1* 6:00 — ADHD explained: executive function + attention regulation CDC+1* 9:30 — Brain networks + “default mode interference” (why focus leaks) PMC+1* 11:30 — Autism explained: social communication + restricted/repetitive patterns CDC+1* 13:30 — Sensory processing differences + prediction models PMC+2PMC+2* 15:00 — AuDHD: why it's missed + DSM-5 history PMC+1* 18:00 — Co-occurrence and what it means (you're not “rare” or “weird”) PMC+1* 23:00 — The AuDHD Paradox Show: real-life examples* 32:00 — Tools & strategies: rails not cages, rotation menus, sensory-first, scripts* 39:30 — Closing: your brain is patterned + gentle next stepsKey Takeaways* Neurodiversity = natural variation in brains; neurodivergent is a nonmedical identity term.

Welcome or welcome back to another episode of authentically ADHD. I am not going to lie, this year has been hard and im so glad if you have stuck along with me, because the rest of the school year is going to be even busier. So thank you for your patience, and grace as I work through this year and let out episodes when I can. I had some inspo for this one because of the new year coming up, and ive talked about this before but not so much in depth. As I go through this episode, i want to share that ive recently self diagnosed myself as AuDHD, a person who has both ADHD and Autism. What does that mean? Well, lets talk about it!Okay, quick check-in: have you ever felt like your brain is two different people sharing one body— one who's like, “Please, for the love of God, routine. Predictability. Same mug. Same route. Same show on repeat.” and the other who's like, “If I do the same thing twice I will evaporate into dust like a vampire in daylight.”If yes… hi. Welcome. You're in the right place.Today's episode is called: “Your Brain Isn't Broken — It's Patterned.” Because I need you to hear this like it's a bass line in your chest:Your brain is not morally failing. Your brain is not lazy. Your brain is not “too much.”This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Your brain is patterned. And if you're AuDHD—autism + ADHD—your pattern can feel like a paradox factory that runs 24/7 with no off switch and a slightly rude customer service department.So… let's talk about what neurodivergence actually is, how ADHD and autism overlap, where they differ, and why AuDHD can feel like living inside a contradiction—and then I'm gonna give you real strategies that don't feel like being yelled at by a productivity guru who thinks “just try harder” is a nervous system plan.[tiny pause]Are you ready? Let's get started.Substack adOkay, tiny intermission—because if this podcast is helping your brain feel a little more understood, I want you to know there's a whole extra layer of support waiting for you on my Substack.That's where I publish Authentically ADHD, and you can usually get the podcast there first—but it's not just a podcast drop. I've started writing blogs there too, which means you get deeper dives, the “ohhh THAT'S what's happening in my brain” explanations, plus practical tools you can actually use when your executive function is doing that thing where it simply… leaves the chat.And here's why I'm obsessed with it: Substack is neurodivergent-friendly by design. You can read posts when you want to skim, you can listen when reading is too much, and I include graphics most of the time because we deserve information in formats that don't require suffering.So here's your invitation: come subscribe on Substack. It's free to join, and if you decide to become a paid member, you'll get even more—bonus resources, extra content, and additional supports I'm building specifically for AuDHD/ADHD brains. Subscribe free… or go paid if you want the “director's cut” plus the toolbox. Either way, I'm really glad you're here.Neurodivergence: What it isSo lets talk about neurodivergence & how it is not a personality test. It's not “Which quirky brain are you?” It's not “I'm such an Aquarius so obviously I can't do laundry.”And I say that as a person who loves a good identity moment.Neurodiversity is the idea that human brains vary—like biodiversity, but for minds. There isn't one “correct” way a brain must work to be worthy. Neurodivergent is a non-medical term people use when their brain develops or functions differently from what society calls “typical.”Now—this matters— Saying “it's a difference” does not erase disability. Some people are deeply disabled by ADHD or autism. Some need significant supports. Some don't. Many fluctuate across seasons of life. But the point is: difference isn't the same thing as defect.A patterned brain can be brilliant and still struggle. Because a lot of suffering isn't just “the brain,” it's the brain + the environment.If the world is built for one nervous system style, and you're running a different operating system, you're going to feel like you're constantly doing life on hard mode.[pause]And if you've spent your whole life trying to “fix” yourself into the version of you that makes other people comfortable— I just want to say: I see you. That's exhausting. That's not personal weakness. That's chronic mismatch.6:00–15:00 — ADHD vs Autism: Overlap and differences (clear, non-weird)Let's do ADHD vs autism without turning it into a simplistic “either/or” checklist, because real humans are not BuzzFeed quizzes.ADHD (core pattern)ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition where the core struggles involve attention regulation, impulsivity, and executive functioning—planning, starting, stopping, shifting, organizing, time sense, working memory… the invisible stuff that makes life run. Important: ADHD is not “can't pay attention.” It's can't consistently regulate attention—especially when bored, stressed, overwhelmed, under-stimulated, or over-stimulated.One research-heavy way people talk about ADHD is the “default mode interference” idea—basically, brain networks involved in internal thought can intrude when you're trying to stay on task. It's not the only model, but it helps explain why focus can feel like trying to hold water in your hands.Real-life ADHD examples:* You can focus for hours on something you care about… and cannot start the thing you care about that also feels hard.* You lose time like it's a hobby.* You forget what you're doing while you're doing it.* You can be highly intelligent and still struggle with basic tasks because executive function isn't IQAutism (core pattern)Autism is also neurodevelopmental. Clinically, it involves:* differences in social communication and interaction across contexts* and restricted/repetitive patterns (routines, sameness, focused interests, stimming, etc.) Also—and this is big—many autistic people experience sensory processing differences: the world can be too loud, too bright, too unpredictable… or sometimes not enough and you seek sensation.Researchers also explore prediction-based models—how the brain learns patterns and predicts what's next, and how differences in prediction/updating may relate to autistic experience. It's nuanced (and not every study supports every claim), but it's a helpful lens for why uncertainty can feel physically stressful.Real-life autism examples:* Social rules can feel like invisible ink.* You may crave clarity and directness and feel drained by ambiguity.* Transitions can hit like a wall.* You might have deep, intense interests that feel regulating and grounding. So then, hers the overlap, why it's confusing. ADHD and autism can both include:* sensory sensitivity* emotional overwhelm* social exhaustion* executive dysfunction* hyperfocus* stimming/fidgeting* burnoutSo yes, overlap is real. Which brings us to the main character of today's episode…Patreon & focused adAuDHD: The overlap, the “double bind,” and why it's missedAuDHD is shorthand for being both autistic and ADHD. It's not a separate DSM diagnosis label, but it's a very real lived experience.And historically, here's why many adults didn't get recognized: Before DSM-5 (2013), autism could prevent someone from also being diagnosed with ADHD—even though many people clearly had both. DSM-5 changed that, acknowledging the reality of co-occurrence. PMC+1Co-occurrence is common enough that researchers and clinicians have been studying it heavily; some reviews discuss high overlap rates (numbers vary by study and method), but the key point is: this isn't rare. PMC+1Now the AuDHD “double bind” can look like:* ADHD traits can mask autism traits (you seem spontaneous and social… until you crash).* Autism traits can mask ADHD traits (you seem organized because you built rigid systems… until the system breaks and chaos floods the house).* You can be sensory avoidant and sensory seeking.* You can crave routine and crave novelty.AuDHD often feels like living in a brain that says:“I need sameness.” “I need dopamine.” “I need quiet.” “I need stimulation.” “I need certainty.” “I need freedom.”…and they're all yelling at once. [small laugh]So when people say, “But you don't seem autistic,” or “You don't seem ADHD,” sometimes what they're actually noticing is: your traits are playing tug-of-war.23:00–32:00 — The AuDHD Paradox Show (real-life examples)Paradox #1: Routine vs noveltyAutism: “Same breakfast. Same spoon.” ADHD: “If I eat the same breakfast again I will emotionally file for divorce.”Real life: You create the perfect morning routine. It works for four days. On day five your brain wakes up and goes: “Actually, we hate that now.”Not because you're flaky. Because the need for predictability and the need for stimulation are both legitimate.Paradox #2: Social craving vs social costADHD can crave social stimulation. Autism can find social processing costly.Real life: You make plans and feel excited. Then the day arrives and your body feels like you're trying to attend a party wearing jeans made of sandpaper.So you cancel, then feel guilty, then feel lonely, then feel annoyed that humans require maintenance. [pause] Relatable.Paradox #3: Sensory seeking vs sensory painReal life: Loud music helps you focus… until one more sound happens and suddenly you're like, “I live in a cave now.”You can want pressure and weight and deep sensory input while also being destroyed by light touch or fluorescent lights.Paradox #4: Hyperfocus vs shutdownReal life: You can research a niche topic for six hours and forget you have a body… but you cannot reply to a two-sentence text.Because replying requires:* context switching* social interpretation* decision making* emotional energy* working memoryAnd your brain is like, “That's 12 tasks. No thanks.”Paradox #5: Justice sensitivity + impulsivityReal life: You notice something unfair. Your body becomes a courtroom. ADHD makes you say it immediately. Autism makes you say it precisely. And suddenly everyone is uncomfortable and you're like, “What? I brought facts.”Paradox #6: The “I'm fine” lieA lot of AuDHD adults become world-class at looking “fine.” Not because it's fine—because it's practiced.Real life: You hold it together all day. Then you get home and collapse like a puppet whose strings got cut.That is not you being dramatic. That is nervous system math.Strategies: “Rails not cages” + tools that actually workAlright. Let's talk tools—AuDHD-friendly, reality-based, and not built on shame.Rule #1: Build rails, not cagesA cage is a rigid routine that breaks the second you miss a step. Rails are guiding tracks that keep you moving even on messy days.Do this: Create three anchors, not a full schedule.* Anchor 1: Start — water + meds + protein OR any “first 5 minutes” ritual* Anchor 2: Midday reset — sensory check + movement + hydration* Anchor 3: Land — dim lights + predictable wind-down cueIf you miss an anchor, you don't throw away the day. You grab the next rail.Rule #2: Rotate instead of “routine”AuDHD often needs predictability in category and novelty in options.So instead of one rigid breakfast, do a Breakfast Rotation Menu:* 5 safe breakfasts* 3 “no-cook” defaults* 2 “my brain is fried” emergency optionsSame for outfits. Same for playlists. Same for chores.It's not indecision. It's accommodating the paradox.Rule #3: Sensory first, then strategyIf your nervous system is in siren mode, no planner hack will work.2-minute reset:* change input: step away / dim light / earplugs* add steady sensation: pressure, cold sip, gum, textured object* long exhale (longer out than in)You're not “calming down.” You're changing states.Rule #4: Externalize executive function (because willpower isn't storage)Executive function can tank under stress in ADHD and autism. So stop trying to “remember harder.”Externalize:* visual timers* one-step checklists* “landing pads” (keys, meds, bag)* pre-decisions (“If it's Tuesday, I do X”)If it has to live only in your head, it will get evicted.Rule #5: Transition protocol (gentle, not militant)Transitions can be brutal because they require stopping, switching, sensory changes, and decision-making.5-minute bridge:* “Close” the old task: write one sentence: “Next I start by ____.”* body bridge: stand, water, stretch* 2-minute micro-start on the new task (so it's not a cliff)Rule #6: Scripts are accessibility toolsScripts aren't fake. They're scaffolding.Steal these:* “I want to, but my brain can't today. Can we reschedule?”* “What's the plan and how long are we staying?”* “I'm going quiet to regulate, not because I'm mad.”* “I need a minute to process before I answer.”Rule #7: Stop treating burnout like a personal failureBurnout often comes from masking, chronic mismatch, sensory load, and executive demand. You don't fix burnout with hustle. You fix it with less demand and more support.Quick audit:* What drains me that I keep calling “normal”?* Where am I denying myself accommodations because I want to look “easy”?* What would sustainability look like—literally, this week?So here's what I want you to take with you:Your brain isn't broken. It's patterned. And patterned brains don't need shame. They need fit. They need support. They need design.If this episode hit you in the chest a little—breathe. You're not behind. You're not defective. You're learning your pattern. And that's not a small thing.

If you have ADHD or autism, research shows you're at a much higher risk for developing chronic pain — a connection many doctors and patients still don't know about. In this episode of Hyperfocus, we talk with a doctor who's trying to change that.Dr. Michael Lenz, a Wisconsin-based pain specialist, explains what the medical community is discovering about the connection between ADHD, autism, and chronic pain, including conditions like fibromyalgia and migraines. He also shares stories from his practice, including times when treating a patient's ADHD unexpectedly improved their chronic pain symptoms.For more on this topic:  Dr. Lenz's podcast and bookThe Weak Link: Hypotonia in Infancy and Autism Early Identification - PMCADHD-pain: Characteristics of chronic pain and association with muscular dysregulation in adults with ADHDOrder friend of the show Craig Thomas' book NIH study on joint hypermobility For a transcript and more resources, visit Hyperfocus on Understood.org.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore one of the major topics in psychology today: the tension between "mainstream" and "alternative" approaches, and how to understand evidence-based care. Using the recent IFS controversy as a backdrop, they discuss what it means for an approach to be evidence-based, the real-world dangers of inflated claims, and therapy's complex relationship with the medical model. They get into the weeds on study design, effect sizes, insurance, why different approaches may or may not have a large body of evidence, and how to think about the research on “common factors” in therapy. Dr. Rick and Forrest offer a simple framework for making good decisions amidst all of this complexity. Key Topics:  0:00: Introduction: the IFS article 7:27: Psychotherapy as medicine vs. personal growth practices 15:31: “Don't know” mind versus “durrr who knows?” mind 19:50: What counts as evidence? 29:58: What does it mean for a therapy to be evidence-based? 42:38: How do we know therapy works? 53:45: Getting on your own team 59:07: Complexities with the medical model 1:10:24: How insurance and the healthcare system complicate the picture 1:18:27: Dr. Rick's top two takeaways 1:29:05: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

In this series, we take a look at a single research paper and dive into what the paper says, how it's conducted, and try and find any practical takeaways.

One of the most urgent ADHD research gaps has to do with ADHD and trans people. We know there are lots of trans folks with ADHD. But when it comes to understanding how best to treat them, it's a whole different story. That's why we wanted to talk to someone who knows this experience well. Ivan Hsiao is the founder of Trans Health HQ. He joined this week's Hyperfocus to share his own diagnosis story and to talk about what we do (and don't) know about being trans with ADHD. For more on this topic: Trans Health HQBeing trans with ADHD (Max's story)Talking about neurodivergence and gender identityTimestamps: (01:26) Ivan's diagnosis story(11:18) Trans broken arm syndrome(13:56) What research is there on ADHD in trans people? (17:23) How to practice better careFor a transcript and more resources, visit Hyperfocus on Understood.org.

Dr. Becky Kennedy joins Forrest for a conversation about building better relationships, with ourselves, our partners, and our children. They talk about Dr. Becky's framework of “good inside,” and how we can apply it to ourselves. Dr. Becky explains how many of the struggles parents face trace back to their own childhood experiences, and suggests how we can reparent ourselves by learning emotional regulation, working with shame, and becoming sturdier. They also cover the limits of behavioral control models, deeply feeling kids, maintaining boundaries when things get hard, and building connection capital.

Hey team! This week, I'm joined by Rae Jacobson, journalist, ADHD expert, and host of Hyperfocus at Understood.org, to talk about how we make sense of ADHD when it feels like it's everywhere. Rae has spent over a decade reporting on mental health and neurodiversity, and she brings that blend of research, lived experience, and sharp humor that makes big ideas actually relatable. This was honestly one of my favorite episodes that I've recorded this year - while Rae and I were brainstorming ideas that two ADHD podcasters could talk about, I think we hit on a very salient topic, the over-pathologizing of ADHD within the community. While we love to find all the things that are from our ADHD, it's also true that not everything is because of our ADHD. In our conversation today, we dig into the ways ADHD often gets pathologized, how everything from losing your keys to getting a song stuck in your head can get blamed on ADHD, and why that can actually make it harder to understand what's really going on. We get into "symptoms of symptoms," the tricky overlap between ADHD and other conditions like depression and anxiety, and why community spaces like Reddit can both help and hurt when it comes to self-diagnosis. And of course, we also go down a few very ADHD side paths about clutter, shame spirals, and why having too many pens is basically a personality trait at this point. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/258 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips When considering what is and isn't ADHD, it's important to remember the context of ADHD as a chronic condition - as in it's something that we deal with all the time. Everyone is going to lose their keys every once in a while, but with ADH,D the difference is in the pattern and the impact. Without the systems I have in place to make sure my keys go into the same place every time, I would be losing them every day. Not everything annoying is an ADHD trait; sometimes it's just being a human in a busy, overstimulating world. While there are a lot of comorbidities with ADHD, if we try to label everything as ADHD, we lose the ability to tell what actually needs attention. Instead of asking, "Is this ADHD?", try asking, "Is this making my life unmanageable?" That's the line that separates "normal chaos" from "I might need help with this." But when ADHD does show up alongside things like depression, anxiety, or trauma, those conditions can feed into each other. You need to figure out who's driving the bus. Treating the wrong "driver" means you'll burn energy fixing the wrong problem. So before building systems or blaming ADHD, step back and ask what's actually behind the behavior.  

Jamila Rizvi has not been the perfect sick person.

Dr. Rick and Forrest open up the mailbag to answer listener questions about effective communication, healthy relationships, and contentment. They explore how defining boundaries, taking maximum reasonable responsibility, and extending an olive branch can help manage ongoing conflict without sacrificing your own needs. They then discuss the power dynamics, ethics, and practicalities of non-monogamy, emphasizing the importance of fairly balancing the rights and needs of everyone involved. Finally, they explore how to cultivate the habit of contentment, even amidst imperfect circumstances.  Key Topics:  0:00: Introduction 3:36: Question 1: “We had an argument and now they're being mean to me!” 14:18: Question 2: “I set a boundary, and they're being really passive aggressive” 27:32: Question 3: “My partner wants a non-monogamous relationship.

Last month, the Trump administration laid off over 460 people in the U.S. Department of Education. It included nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), which enforces federal special education laws. A federal judge has temporarily halted the layoffs, but it's unclear what will happen next. For people who work in or rely on special education services — including 7.5 million kids — the chaos and worry have already begun.So on this week's Hyperfocus, we wanted to talk to smart people who could give us some perspective on what's happening. What could it mean for families and for schools? And what does it say about how the administration views neurodivergent people in general?Our guests are Meghan Whittaker, a former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education, and Julian Saavedra, an assistant principal. For more on this topic: What the special education layoffs mean for your child's IEP and school servicesWhat happens to my child's IEP if the U.S. Department of Education closes?The R-word is back: How do you get people to care? Special education: Federal law vs. state lawTimestamps:(03:04) A breakdown of the layoffs(10:16) How worry is already hitting families and schools(18:02) What to know about school vouchers(29:50) “Find your space to serve”For a transcript and more resources, visit Hyperfocus on Understood.org.

In this very fun episode, Forrest and Elizabeth discuss how to get on the same team in a relationship. They explore how conditions of worth, masking, and developmental trauma can get in the way of showing up authentically, and how falling into common relationship roles can reinforce this. Elizabeth talks about how healthy anger can actually be a productive force in a relationship, and how relationships change when both members start prioritizing the other's wants and needs. Other topics include “dating yourself,” embracing the slightly weirder version of who you are, and celebrating self-exploration.

What begins as a casual reconnection blooms into a radiant, multidimensional conversation about art, grief, ADHD, cultural legacy, and the spiritual technology of the body.Early in the episode, Chaya shares that her late mother's name was Sunanda—a revelation that strikes Kristin deeply, as her own Thai name is Sunanta. This name resonance becomes a symbolic thread, weaving their shared lineage, creativity, and healing paths together across continents and generations. These are two neurodivergent women who both run their own companies and genuinely dig each other's company.This episode is a reminder of how people like us actually speak—luminous, layered, nonlinear, and fully alive.Chaya Mallavaram is a technologist, professional artist, and advocate who brings her own life experience to the heart of neurodivergent empowerment. For more than two decades, Chaya thrived in the software world — not despite her ADHD, but because of it. Her creative problem-solving, pattern recognition, hyperfocus, and nonlinear thinking weren't obstacles. They were assets.​Everything shifted in 2020, when her son was diagnosed with ADHD. That moment brought not only clarity, but a calling: to build the kind of support system she wished she and her son had growing up. Today, Chaya leads Spark Launch with a rare blend of technical expertise, artistic vision, and deep personal insight. Whether she's developing tools, leading strategy, or co-hosting the Spark Launch podcast, she's creating spaces where neurodivergent minds are seen, heard, and celebrated. Her work is rooted in one belief: When we stop trying to fix neurodivergent people — and start designing systems that work for them — everyone benefits.www.sparklaunch.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

As a child, riding, tinkering/repairing bicycles were just a few hobbies Mike enjoyed. But the woodworking project is beneficial for so many reasons. Yes it's fun but it truly helps children and adults with distracted minds become more grounded and able to focus.  Children collaborate and help one another, improve their math skills, use their hands, learn to measure and cut wood and so much more. But it was Mike's mother, Linda, who really concentrated on helping Mike with his OCD/ADHD.  He says, "she was very instrumental in trying to keep me active. It was very hard for her to see this disruptive behavior in her own child." Mike agrees that he was dealing with Impulse control negative attention issues.Education was very important to Linda. She completed her PHD when Mike was a teen.  She was determined to help Mike figure out what interested him, what his strengths and attributes were and decided to concentrate on those gifts. Linda's grandfather had been a Rabbi in Ukraine. Her father died when she was in high school and mother had dyslexia and had never learned to read or write, so all of her past, played a major role in her passion for a solid education. She was determined to help her son overcome his educational challenges.Linda got married at 19. In order to become a lab technician, she got her Batchelor's degree in Science and Medical Technology. "To show how important education was to her, she went back to school got her Masters Degree and then  in her 40's got a PHD in "Immigration History." Mike explains, "growing  up Jewish in Minnesota, was very rare. It was very interesting to see these immigration patterns that she lived through and seeing similar patterns repeating again today. Later on LInda started a historical society to study Jewish Immigration in the Upper Midwest.Knowing her son's interests helped Linda come up with the idea for Mike to help her when she was cataloging information from those of her Jewish community who had passed away. Family members had donated diaries and personal information. These tasks were very detail oriented and she knew that was one of her son's many strengths. He created a useful database.Contact Information for Maplewoodshop:Email address:mike@maplewoodshop.comFacebook -@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://www.facebook.com/MaplewoodshopNJ/LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/maplewoodshop/Instagram -@maplewoodshophttps://www.instagram.com/maplewoodshop/?hl=enTwitter-@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://twitter.com/MaplewoodshopNJThreads -@maplewoodshophttps://www.threads.net/@maplewoodshopYoutube -@maplewoodshop727https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPIu2juABNjm_2ZoMjrx4wTiktok -@maplewoodshophttps://www.tiktok.com/@maplewoodshophttps://www.maplewoodshop.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

t for a few months now and it's definitely one that I'm always on the look out for new episodes. Rae does a great job with her interviews, asking both the basic questions to help ground the conversation, but also getting into the more nuanced issues that come with neurodivergence.  Today, I'm going to share an episode with you where Rae talks with Dr. Christine Hargrove, a Marriage & Family Therapist with a focus on neurodiversity and financial therapy that she uses to help individuals and couples understand how their symptoms affect their financial behavior. And honestly, this is a great episode - I know so many people who struggle with their finances, but more specifically, struggle directly because of their ADHD.   Be sure to subscribe to Hyperfocus with Rea Jacobson in your podcast player!
