Improve your listening skills and let your husband speak without interruption. A submissive wife honors her husband by giving him her full, focused attention when he speaks.Are you guilty of:– Interrupting him mid-sentence?– Talking over him to make your point?– Checking your phone while he talks?– Finishing his sentences for him?– Engaging in another conversation while he's speaking?These habits send a message of disrespect.

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius discusses the critical importance of human experience in business, emphasizing that while technology can enhance service, it cannot replace the unique value of personal interactions. He introduces the concept of URX (You Are the Experience) and highlights the decline of people skills across generations, particularly among younger employees who are often 'relationship disadvantaged' due to their upbringing in a digital world. DiJulius advocates for businesses to prioritize training in connection skills and to foster a culture that values meaningful relationships, both internally among employees and externally with customers. In this episode, John DiJulius III and Denise Thompson explore the importance of curiosity in conversations, the significance of personal touches in business relationships, and the philosophy of pursuing greatness. They discuss how focusing on others, listening actively, and finding gifts in every interaction can lead to stronger connections and greater success in both personal and professional realms. Takeaways URX stands for 'You Are the Experience' and emphasizes the importance of employee engagement. Technology is easily replicable, but the human experience is unique to each business. Companies must prioritize training in people skills for all generations. Younger generations are often 'relationship disadvantaged' due to technology. In-person interactions are crucial for developing people skills. Loneliness affects all generations, not just the young. Social media contributes to a decline in real-life social skills. Employers play a key role in teaching connection skills to employees. The Ford method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) helps build rapport. Making meaningful connections can significantly impact personal and professional lives. Focus on the other person to build rapport. Curiosity is key in conversations. Listening is more important than talking. Personal touches can enhance business relationships. Gifts in conversations can strengthen connections. Pay attention to details shared by others. Interrupting can hinder effective communication. Avoid stealing someone's thunder in conversations. Pursuing greatness requires more than just doing your best.

Transcript: Welcome to today's episode! We're diving deep into ADHD and autism – what makes them unique, where they overlap, and how they shape day-to-day life. We'll mix neuroscience, the latest research, and real-life stories to make it all click. This show is for neurodivergent adults, and also parents and educators who want to really understand what living with ADHD and autism can be like.Imagine sitting in a meeting: the clock ticks, but your mind is racing on a thousand other things. Or being at a loud party and feeling every light and sound press in on you. Those are snippets of how ADHD or autism can feel. For anyone with these conditions (or both), life can be a wild ride of challenges and unique gifts. But you're not alone – there are science-backed ways to cope and even thrive.In recent years, brain science has been uncovering secrets about ADHD and autism. Researchers use brain scans and cognitive tests to see how neurodivergent brains work differently. We won't get lost in jargon, but the gist is this: ADHD often involves lower activity in brain areas that handle focus, planning, and impulse control – think of it like having a very fast car with weak brakes. Autism often involves brain circuits that are finely tuned, noticing patterns and details that others miss, but also picking up sensory inputs very intensely. So, one brain might crave novelty while needing a tight routine, the other might detect every background sound. Knowing this biological side helps make sense of everyday experiences.ADHD: A Brain That Zigs When Others ZagADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, shows up as three main quirks:* Trouble sustaining attention: Daydreaming or being easily distracted, missing details.* Impulsivity: Acting or speaking without thinking it through (like blurting an answer or grabbing the last slice of pizza on a whim).* Hyperactivity: Feeling restless or fidgety, like you have to move even when you're sitting still.Some people call the ADHD brain “a race car with fuzzy brakes.” Neuroscientists tell us ADHD brains often have lower levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, especially in the prefrontal cortex (the area acting like the brain's CEO). That makes it harder to plan, stay organized, or resist impulses. For example, you might forget appointments, interrupt conversations, or feel like you have to pace when sitting.On the flip side, ADHD brains can hyperfocus on things they love. Picture an editor sitting at a cluttered desk. The sound of typing is soothing… until a stray light catches the editor's eye. Suddenly they are deep in a Wikipedia spiral about vintage computers and forget the report due tomorrow. They laugh later: “I meant to write one paragraph and ended up learning about floppy disks for two hours!” Hyperfocus isn't guaranteed, though. Often tasks we have to do feel like a slog, and we procrastinate until the deadline hits. Then, under panic, our brain goes into overdrive – a burst of productivity called “crunch mode.” It's like living with an internal pressure cooker: long periods of low simmer, then sudden high heat to get things done.Emotionally, ADHD can feel like riding a rollercoaster. You might feel frustration or embarrassment about symptoms (like always losing your keys or blurting out something inappropriate). Anxiety and low self-esteem are common too, especially if you've been scolded or misunderstood a lot. But knowing the brain science behind ADHD brings relief: it's not laziness or a character flaw, it's biology. And that matters, because it means there are ways to help and work with your brain.Autism Spectrum: Sensory Worlds and Special InterestsAutism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is also a brain difference – but it shows up differently. Key traits include:* Social communication differences: Difficulty reading facial expressions, understanding tone of voice, or navigating small talk.* Repetitive behaviors and routines: Craving sameness, following strict routines, or repeating certain movements (like hand-flapping or lining things up).* Sensory sensitivities: Being bothered by loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, scratchy clothing, or certain tastes.Imagine the brain as a radio receiver. In many autistic people, the dial picks up everything at full volume. So a buzzing neon light or a faint background hum can feel overwhelming. Scientists sometimes talk about an imbalance of excitation and inhibition in the autistic brain – in plain terms, sensory signals can all flood in without enough “filter.” This means autistic people notice fine details (that spider web, that slight pattern in wallpaper) but can be easily overloaded by a busy environment.Anecdote: Take Alex, an autistic architect. She describes going to a big family gathering: “The buzzing lights and overlapping conversations felt like waves crashing on me,” Alex says. “I had to step outside and put my headphones on to avoid a meltdown.” This is common: when too many signals hit at once, an autistic person might feel panic, shutdown, or even a meltdown (an intense emotional response). If things calm down, it's like a storm passing – but the confusion and stress can last for hours after.On the plus side, autism often brings intense interests and superb focus on details. That same Alex can spend hours perfecting a building design or spotting the tiniest crack in a wall that others wouldn't see. Many autistic people excel in fields that match their special interests – like science, art, math, or technology – because they're deeply passionate and not easily bored.Socially, autism can look like missed cues. You might overhear, “Why don't you just look people in the eye?” without realizing eye contact might feel painful or distracting. Or you might get puzzled advice like “don't take that literally,” when you really did mean exactly what you said. Brain imaging shows autistic folks often use different brain networks for social processing, so it can feel like navigating a conversation in a foreign language. That's okay! With understanding and support, autistic people often learn communication tricks that work for them.Where They Overlap: AuDHD and Shared TraitsIt turns out ADHD and autism often go together. Research suggests about half of autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD. Some folks even say they have “AuDHD” (autism+ADHD). If you have both, traits can blend in interesting ways. ADHD might add impulsivity and distractibility, while autism adds sensory needs and craving routine.One person described it like this: “My ADHD mind signs me up for more than my autistic brain can deliver at times.” It's a classic tug-of-war: part of you craves structure, part of you craves novelty. Many with both report feeling like a “walking contradiction” – wanting predictability but also getting bored by too much predictability.Shared challenges can include:* Executive function struggles: Both conditions can make organizing tasks, planning ahead, or switching activities hard. It can feel like your brain's to-do list app keeps crashing.* Sensory quirks: While sensory overload is famous in autism, ADHDers can also be sensitive (or sometimes under-sensitive) to sensory input. Both might need fidget toys or headphones to stay comfortable.* Emotional intensity: Both ADHD and autism are linked to higher anxiety, mood swings, or “meltdowns.” The brain chemistry and life stressors (feeling different, facing stigma) both play a role.* Trouble with transitions: Starting or stopping tasks can be super hard. You might think you can drop one activity and switch to another on cue, but often it feels like a gradual drift or a sudden jolt instead.Think of having both as juggling snowballs in a windstorm. For example, imagine someone with both ADHD and autism. They love a morning routine of coffee and crosswords, but if they miss that coffee (coffee catastrophe!), their ADHD brain causes a frantic search for the mug while their autism makes every change feel like a crash. If they try a new latte shop (novelty alert!), the ADHD part is excited but the autism part panics over the unpredictable ordering system. It's tricky.However, there are strengths too. Many people with AuDHD report creativity and unique problem-solving. They often see details and big patterns at once. For example, they might notice a statistic (detail) and also have a wild new idea (big picture) about it. The key is managing the quirks to let those superpowers shine.Daily Life Impact: Emotions, Thinking, Social, and WorkLiving with ADHD and/or autism can color every part of life. Let's break down some common areas:EmotionallyLiving with ADHD or autism can feel like having an emotional accelerator and brake pedal that sometimes fail. You might swing quickly from excitement to frustration. Frustration and anxiety often come from feeling misunderstood or not in control. Little surprises (a canceling a plan, a sudden noise) can trigger big reactions. If you've been punished for symptoms out of your control, you might have long-standing low self-esteem. Remember: getting emotional about these challenges is normal. It helps to remind yourself that meltdowns or outbursts are signals — your brain's way of saying it needs a break or some support, not proof that you're failing. After the episode, self-care and a bit of self-compassion (“That was tough, but I survived”) can help you recover and learn.Many neurodivergent people use humor as a lifesaver. Joking about “my ADHD brain is like a puppy on espresso” or “my daily meltdown wardrobe” can help talk about tough stuff more easily. Sometimes laughing at ourselves (gently, not harshly) reminds us that everyone has quirks.CognitivelyNeurodivergent minds often have a unique thinking style — like a maze and a playground at once. Here are a few common cognitive features:* Attention: ADHD means your attention is selective. You might ignore something boring (like scrolling through your phone in a dull lecture) and yet get laser-focused on something else (like planning the ultimate pizza toppings). Autism, too, can involve deep focus — on a special interest, that same lecture if it's on your passion topic, or even on everyday details most people miss. In either case, switching gears can be hard. Interrupting deep thought to do something mundane is like a rude alarm clock that nobody asked for.* Memory & Organization: These brains may misplace keys, appointments, or even thoughts. Working memory feels like a leaky bucket — once a distraction hits, stuff goes out. You might set a reminder on your phone, forget about it five minutes later, then panic when the date passes. Or you keep 100 tabs open in your brain, and sometimes one of them quietly closes without telling you. This isn't forgetfulness; it's the brain's attention and memory systems juggling too much.* Processing Speed: Some people think very fast (“see” many thoughts at once), others very slowly, or even seem to “lag” when switching tasks. For example, someone might need extra time to formulate an answer in conversation, even if they could write it perfectly later. Don't mistake a short pause for a problem with intelligence — it's just how the mind processes information.Social LifeNavigating social waters can be bumpy for ADHD and autism, but there are ways to manage. For example:* Social Cues: Autistic folks might miss a sarcastic tone or not get why everyone laughed. ADHD folks might interrupt without meaning to or blurt out irrelevant stuff. Both can accidentally seem “awkward” or “rude” when really they just didn't pick up cues. One trick is to be upfront: it's okay to say, “Hey, I have ADHD/autism, sometimes I need a little extra time or clarity.” Often people are understanding if they know.* Friendships: You might find yourself drifting between friend groups or feeling out of sync. It's common to form one very close friendship rather than a big circle. That's fine! Focus on quality over quantity. Some neurodivergent people prefer one-on-one hangouts or quiet meetups rather than crowded parties.* Support: Having friends or family who “get it” makes a huge difference. Find people (even online) who understand ND humor and vibe. Parents and educators, it helps to show kids or teens examples of famous or everyday people who are thriving with ADHD/autism, so they know they're not alone.Work and SchoolIn jobs and classes, ADHD and autism present both challenges and strengths. Many ND people become A+ in their passion subjects but struggle in areas they find boring or disorganized. The good news is, accommodations can help:* Structure and Environment: If possible, pick a study or work spot with fewer distractions. Use earbuds with soft music to drown out noisy offices. Request a quiet corner, noise-canceling headphones, or flexible deadlines when allowed. Small adjustments (like a fidget tool hidden in your pocket or a standing desk) can help channel hyperactivity or sensory needs.* Time Management: Tools are your friends – planners, calendars, reminder apps. Break big projects into bite-size tasks. For example, don't just have “write paper” on the list; break it into “outline ideas,” “write intro,” etc. This reduces overwhelm and gives you little wins.* Leaning In on Strengths: ND people often excel in roles that align with their brains. An ADHD person might do great in a fast-paced, varied job (like first responder or entrepreneur). An autistic person might shine in coding, design, or research. If you can steer your career or course toward your interests, motivation often comes naturally.* Advocacy: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Schools often have services for ADHD/autism (like extra test time or an aide). Workplaces may offer flexible scheduling, mentorship programs, or assistive tech. It's legal in many places to request reasonable accommodations once you disclose a diagnosis. Educators and bosses are becoming more aware – sometimes just explaining “I work/learn best this way” can open doors.Practical Coping Strategies (Evidence-Based!)Alright, let's get to action. Based on brain science and countless success stories, here are some practical strategies to manage ADHD and autism day-to-day. You might already do some of these – try mixing and matching to see what helps most you:* Create Flexible Routines: Daily structure reduces stress. This means a consistent morning routine (e.g., wake up, stretch, eat breakfast at the same time) and evening habits (e.g., lay out clothes for tomorrow, bedtime wind-down). For autistic people, routines are comforting; for ADHD, routines reduce the mental load of deciding what to do next. However, keep it flexible – if something changes, it's okay. Think of routines like gentle rails guiding a train, not jail bars.* Use Tools and Timers: Organization apps, planners, or even sticky notes are life-savers. Write to-do lists and check things off. Use phone alarms for appointments (“Lunch time!”) and timers for work sprints (try 25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break, also known as the Pomodoro Technique). Putting reminders of chores where you'll see them (a note on the mirror, an alarm on your phone) helps counteract those memory glitches.* Create a Calming Environment: Pay attention to sensory needs. If you're easily overwhelmed, tidy your space, dim harsh lights, play gentle ambient sound or white noise, or wear noise-canceling headphones. If you have tactile sensitivities, wear soft fabrics and avoid itchy tags. A water bottle, fidget toy, or stress ball can give restless hands something to do. These tweaks let your brain focus on the task instead of extra sensory input.* Move Your Body Regularly: Physical activity isn't just good for health – it helps brains like ours work better. Short walks, stretching breaks, or even dancing to a favorite song can reset your focus and mood. Many people with ADHD find that moving wakes up the prefrontal cortex to get back on track. Exercise also calms anxiety, which can otherwise clog up thinking. Aim for some exercise every day, even if it's just 10 minutes – your brain will thank you.* Practice Mindfulness: This might sound unusual, but techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or guided relaxation can train your attention and reduce stress. It's like going to the gym for your brain. A simple practice: take 3 deep breaths before a meeting starts, or do a quick “body scan” (focus on relaxing each body part) if you feel wound up. Studies show mindfulness can improve focus in ADHD and help autistic people manage anxiety. It's not a magic fix, but over time it builds mental muscle.* Leverage Your Interests: Special interests and hyperfocus can be strengths. Whenever possible, tie your work or study to something you love. For example, if you love sports stats, try to learn math with sports data; if you adore art, find a way to visualize your notes. Also, don't feel guilty about indulging in your interests – they recharge you. Schedule time for that hobby, or use it as a reward (e.g., after finishing a task, allow yourself to play that game or read that sci-fi story).* Connect with Others: Build a support network. Talk to trusted friends or family members about what helps and what doesn't. Join local or online support groups – hearing how others cope can spark ideas. If you have ND kids or students, share stories of successful ND adults. Remember, you have unique experiences worth sharing. Also, communicate your needs: it's okay to say, “I need quiet time” or “Could you repeat that?” in polite ways.* Seek Professional Help When Needed: Therapy and sometimes medication can be game-changers. ADHD medications (like stimulants) are very effective for many, and therapy (like cognitive-behavioral therapy) can teach coping skills. For autism, therapy can include occupational therapy for sensory issues or social skills training. If anxiety or depression is present (common co-conditions), a counselor or support group can help. Don't hesitate to reach out to specialists or doctors who know about neurodiversity. There's no shame in getting expert help – it's evidence-based self-care.* Practice Self-Compassion: This may be the most important strategy. Recognize ADHD and autism as just parts of who you are, not failures or flaws. When you struggle with tasks or make a social mistake, try talking to yourself kindly: “That was tough, and I'm doing my best.” Celebrate wins, even small ones (finished that report? High-five!). Remember the neurodiversity mantra: different wiring is not broken wiring. Embracing your brain can turn frustration into empowerment. There's a growing community out there cheering you on.Bringing It Home: Stories of ProgressEnough theory – let's hear some successes. Across the neurodivergent community, people are thriving using strategies like these:* A teacher rearranged her classroom so students with ADHD and autism could move seats or use quiet corners when needed. She saw their grades and moods improve dramatically. She says just telling the class “Everyone thinks differently” made the kids feel accepted.* An autistic software developer arranged with her company to work mostly from home. By setting her own schedule and customizing her workspace (dim lighting, minimal noise), her productivity soared. Colleagues marveled at her bug-free code – once she had the right environment, her attention to detail became her superpower.* A college student with both ADHD and autism started using campus disability services. Now she gets extra time on exams and a note-taker. She says what felt like “cheating” at first turned out to be “evening the playing field.” With those supports, she's on track to graduate, and finally believes in herself.At every age, from school kids to CEOs, neurodivergent folks find ways to succeed. Maybe this week you'll try a new app or a different work spot, or open up to a friend about your needs. Every small step is progress.Tips for Parents and EducatorsIf you're listening as a parent or teacher, your understanding is huge for a young neurodivergent person. Here are a few tips:* Listen and Validate: When a child with ADHD/autism says a task is overwhelming or noises are too loud, believe them. Say things like “I hear you, that's really tough.” This reduces anxiety and builds trust.* Be Patient with Behavior: Actions like rocking, jumping, or blurting often serve a purpose (to stay calm or engaged). Instead of punishment, find safe outlets: sensory corners in class, extra recess, or quiet fidget toys.* Teach Organizational Skills: Break tasks into steps on a whiteboard. Use visual schedules (drawings or charts) so children can see the plan. Show them how to use checklists and reminders. These executive skills are not innate to all; children often need practice and coaching.* Focus on Strengths: If a student is passionate about dinosaurs, sneak some science or art into the lesson using dinosaurs. A kid who loves building things might enjoy a math puzzle about construction. When learning connects to interests, engagement skyrockets.* Model Acceptance: Use respectful language. Celebrate neurodiversity! If kids see parents and teachers framing ADHD/autism as just part of human variety (not “bad” or “broken”), they'll carry that positive self-image forward.Wrapping Up: You're Not AloneWe've covered a lot: the unique traits of ADHD and autism, where they overlap, how they affect emotions, thinking, social life, and work, plus practical strategies and real stories. If you're neurodivergent, know this: each brain is unique. What works for one person might not work for another, and that's okay. It's an ongoing journey of trial and feedback.Neuroscience and psychology are learning more every year. Brain research, new therapies, and tools are constantly emerging. Keep an eye out for breakthroughs, but also remember this: the lived experience matters most. You might still have rough days – days when your ADHD makes a simple chore feel impossible or your autism makes you need a long sensory break. That's human. Emotions are part of the ride.The key takeaway: ADHD and autism can bring challenges, but they come with strengths too. Many neurodivergent people are kind, creative, focused, and loyal. By using strategies (and yes, even by laughing at the quirks sometimes), you can handle obstacles and make life smoother. Connect with others who understand, advocate for yourself, and give yourself credit for every small win.Thank you for listening. We hope this episode gave you some insight, tools, and maybe even a few laughs. Remember, you are not defined by these labels – understanding them can give you superpowers over obstacles. Stay curious, stay kind to yourself, and keep talking about neurodiversity. See you next time on the podcast!Links:Show Notes: Welcome to today's episode! We're diving deep into ADHD and autism – what makes them unique, where they overlap, and how they shape day-to-day life. We'll mix neuroscience, the latest research, and real-life stories to make it all click. This show is for neurodivergent adults, and also parents and educators who want to really understand what living with ADHD and autism can be like.Imagine sitting in a meeting: the clock ticks, but your mind is racing on a thousand other things. Or being at a loud party and feeling every light and sound press in on you. Those are snippets of how ADHD or autism can feel. For anyone with these conditions (or both), life can be a wild ride of challenges and unique gifts. But you're not alone – there are science-backed ways to cope and even thrive.In recent years, brain science has been uncovering secrets about ADHD and autism. Researchers use brain scans and cognitive tests to see how neurodivergent brains work differently. We won't get lost in jargon, but the gist is this: ADHD often involves lower activity in brain areas that handle focus, planning, and impulse control – think of it like having a very fast car with weak brakes. Autism often involves brain circuits that are finely tuned, noticing patterns and details that others miss, but also picking up sensory inputs very intensely. So, one brain might crave novelty while needing a tight routine, the other might detect every background sound. Knowing this biological side helps make sense of everyday experiences.ADHD: A Brain That Zigs When Others ZagADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, shows up as three main quirks:* Trouble sustaining attention: Daydreaming or being easily distracted, missing details.* Impulsivity: Acting or speaking without thinking it through (like blurting an answer or grabbing the last slice of pizza on a whim).* Hyperactivity: Feeling restless or fidgety, like you have to move even when you're sitting still.Some people call the ADHD brain “a race car with fuzzy brakes.” Neuroscientists tell us ADHD brains often have lower levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, especially in the prefrontal cortex (the area acting like the brain's CEO). That makes it harder to plan, stay organized, or resist impulses. For example, you might forget appointments, interrupt conversations, or feel like you have to pace when sitting.On the flip side, ADHD brains can hyperfocus on things they love. Picture an editor sitting at a cluttered desk. The sound of typing is soothing… until a stray light catches the editor's eye. Suddenly they are deep in a Wikipedia spiral about vintage computers and forget the report due tomorrow. They laugh later: “I meant to write one paragraph and ended up learning about floppy disks for two hours!” Hyperfocus isn't guaranteed, though. Often tasks we have to do feel like a slog, and we procrastinate until the deadline hits. Then, under panic, our brain goes into overdrive – a burst of productivity called “crunch mode.” It's like living with an internal pressure cooker: long periods of low simmer, then sudden high heat to get things done.Emotionally, ADHD can feel like riding a rollercoaster. You might feel frustration or embarrassment about symptoms (like always losing your keys or blurting out something inappropriate). Anxiety and low self-esteem are common too, especially if you've been scolded or misunderstood a lot. But knowing the brain science behind ADHD brings relief: it's not laziness or a character flaw, it's biology. And that matters, because it means there are ways to help and work with your brain.Autism Spectrum: Sensory Worlds and Special InterestsAutism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is also a brain difference – but it shows up differently. Key traits include:* Social communication differences: Difficulty reading facial expressions, understanding tone of voice, or navigating small talk.* Repetitive behaviors and routines: Craving sameness, following strict routines, or repeating certain movements (like hand-flapping or lining things up).* Sensory sensitivities: Being bothered by loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, scratchy clothing, or certain tastes.Imagine the brain as a radio receiver. In many autistic people, the dial picks up everything at full volume. So a buzzing neon light or a faint background hum can feel overwhelming. Scientists sometimes talk about an imbalance of excitation and inhibition in the autistic brain – in plain terms, sensory signals can all flood in without enough “filter.” This means autistic people notice fine details (that spider web, that slight pattern in wallpaper) but can be easily overloaded by a busy environment.Anecdote: Take Alex, an autistic architect. She describes going to a big family gathering: “The buzzing lights and overlapping conversations felt like waves crashing on me,” Alex says. “I had to step outside and put my headphones on to avoid a meltdown.” This is common: when too many signals hit at once, an autistic person might feel panic, shutdown, or even a meltdown (an intense emotional response). If things calm down, it's like a storm passing – but the confusion and stress can last for hours after.On the plus side, autism often brings intense interests and superb focus on details. That same Alex can spend hours perfecting a building design or spotting the tiniest crack in a wall that others wouldn't see. Many autistic people excel in fields that match their special interests – like science, art, math, or technology – because they're deeply passionate and not easily bored.Socially, autism can look like missed cues. You might overhear, “Why don't you just look people in the eye?” without realizing eye contact might feel painful or distracting. Or you might get puzzled advice like “don't take that literally,” when you really did mean exactly what you said. Brain imaging shows autistic folks often use different brain networks for social processing, so it can feel like navigating a conversation in a foreign language. That's okay! With understanding and support, autistic people often learn communication tricks that work for them.Where They Overlap: AuDHD and Shared TraitsIt turns out ADHD and autism often go together. Research suggests about half of autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD. Some folks even say they have “AuDHD” (autism+ADHD). If you have both, traits can blend in interesting ways. ADHD might add impulsivity and distractibility, while autism adds sensory needs and craving routine.One person described it like this: “My ADHD mind signs me up for more than my autistic brain can deliver at times.” It's a classic tug-of-war: part of you craves structure, part of you craves novelty. Many with both report feeling like a “walking contradiction” – wanting predictability but also getting bored by too much predictability.Shared challenges can include:* Executive function struggles: Both conditions can make organizing tasks, planning ahead, or switching activities hard. It can feel like your brain's to-do list app keeps crashing.* Sensory quirks: While sensory overload is famous in autism, ADHDers can also be sensitive (or sometimes under-sensitive) to sensory input. Both might need fidget toys or headphones to stay comfortable.* Emotional intensity: Both ADHD and autism are linked to higher anxiety, mood swings, or “meltdowns.” The brain chemistry and life stressors (feeling different, facing stigma) both play a role.* Trouble with transitions: Starting or stopping tasks can be super hard. You might think you can drop one activity and switch to another on cue, but often it feels like a gradual drift or a sudden jolt instead.Think of having both as juggling snowballs in a windstorm. For example, imagine someone with both ADHD and autism. They love a morning routine of coffee and crosswords, but if they miss that coffee (coffee catastrophe!), their ADHD brain causes a frantic search for the mug while their autism makes every change feel like a crash. If they try a new latte shop (novelty alert!), the ADHD part is excited but the autism part panics over the unpredictable ordering system. It's tricky.However, there are strengths too. Many people with AuDHD report creativity and unique problem-solving. They often see details and big patterns at once. For example, they might notice a statistic (detail) and also have a wild new idea (big picture) about it. The key is managing the quirks to let those superpowers shine.Daily Life Impact: Emotions, Thinking, Social, and WorkLiving with ADHD and/or autism can color every part of life. Let's break down some common areas:EmotionallyLiving with ADHD or autism can feel like having an emotional accelerator and brake pedal that sometimes fail. You might swing quickly from excitement to frustration. Frustration and anxiety often come from feeling misunderstood or not in control. Little surprises (a canceling a plan, a sudden noise) can trigger big reactions. If you've been punished for symptoms out of your control, you might have long-standing low self-esteem. Remember: getting emotional about these challenges is normal. It helps to remind yourself that meltdowns or outbursts are signals — your brain's way of saying it needs a break or some support, not proof that you're failing. After the episode, self-care and a bit of self-compassion (“That was tough, but I survived”) can help you recover and learn.Many neurodivergent people use humor as a lifesaver. Joking about “my ADHD brain is like a puppy on espresso” or “my daily meltdown wardrobe” can help talk about tough stuff more easily. Sometimes laughing at ourselves (gently, not harshly) reminds us that everyone has quirks.CognitivelyNeurodivergent minds often have a unique thinking style — like a maze and a playground at once. Here are a few common cognitive features:* Attention: ADHD means your attention is selective. You might ignore something boring (like scrolling through your phone in a dull lecture) and yet get laser-focused on something else (like planning the ultimate pizza toppings). Autism, too, can involve deep focus — on a special interest, that same lecture if it's on your passion topic, or even on everyday details most people miss. In either case, switching gears can be hard. Interrupting deep thought to do something mundane is like a rude alarm clock that nobody asked for.* Memory & Organization: These brains may misplace keys, appointments, or even thoughts. Working memory feels like a leaky bucket — once a distraction hits, stuff goes out. You might set a reminder on your phone, forget about it five minutes later, then panic when the date passes. Or you keep 100 tabs open in your brain, and sometimes one of them quietly closes without telling you. This isn't forgetfulness; it's the brain's attention and memory systems juggling too much.* Processing Speed: Some people think very fast (“see” many thoughts at once), others very slowly, or even seem to “lag” when switching tasks. For example, someone might need extra time to formulate an answer in conversation, even if they could write it perfectly later. Don't mistake a short pause for a problem with intelligence — it's just how the mind processes information.Social LifeNavigating social waters can be bumpy for ADHD and autism, but there are ways to manage. For example:* Social Cues: Autistic folks might miss a sarcastic tone or not get why everyone laughed. ADHD folks might interrupt without meaning to or blurt out irrelevant stuff. Both can accidentally seem “awkward” or “rude” when really they just didn't pick up cues. One trick is to be upfront: it's okay to say, “Hey, I have ADHD/autism, sometimes I need a little extra time or clarity.” Often people are understanding if they know.* Friendships: You might find yourself drifting between friend groups or feeling out of sync. It's common to form one very close friendship rather than a big circle. That's fine! Focus on quality over quantity. Some neurodivergent people prefer one-on-one hangouts or quiet meetups rather than crowded parties.* Support: Having friends or family who “get it” makes a huge difference. Find people (even online) who understand ND humor and vibe. Parents and educators, it helps to show kids or teens examples of famous or everyday people who are thriving with ADHD/autism, so they know they're not alone.Work and SchoolIn jobs and classes, ADHD and autism present both challenges and strengths. Many ND people become A+ in their passion subjects but struggle in areas they find boring or disorganized. The good news is, accommodations can help:* Structure and Environment: If possible, pick a study or work spot with fewer distractions. Use earbuds with soft music to drown out noisy offices. Request a quiet corner, noise-canceling headphones, or flexible deadlines when allowed. Small adjustments (like a fidget tool hidden in your pocket or a standing desk) can help channel hyperactivity or sensory needs.* Time Management: Tools are your friends – planners, calendars, reminder apps. Break big projects into bite-size tasks. For example, don't just have “write paper” on the list; break it into “outline ideas,” “write intro,” etc. This reduces overwhelm and gives you little wins.* Leaning In on Strengths: ND people often excel in roles that align with their brains. An ADHD person might do great in a fast-paced, varied job (like first responder or entrepreneur). An autistic person might shine in coding, design, or research. If you can steer your career or course toward your interests, motivation often comes naturally.* Advocacy: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Schools often have services for ADHD/autism (like extra test time or an aide). Workplaces may offer flexible scheduling, mentorship programs, or assistive tech. It's legal in many places to request reasonable accommodations once you disclose a diagnosis. Educators and bosses are becoming more aware – sometimes just explaining “I work/learn best this way” can open doors.Practical Coping Strategies (Evidence-Based!)Alright, let's get to action. Based on brain science and countless success stories, here are some practical strategies to manage ADHD and autism day-to-day. You might already do some of these – try mixing and matching to see what helps most you:* Create Flexible Routines: Daily structure reduces stress. This means a consistent morning routine (e.g., wake up, stretch, eat breakfast at the same time) and evening habits (e.g., lay out clothes for tomorrow, bedtime wind-down). For autistic people, routines are comforting; for ADHD, routines reduce the mental load of deciding what to do next. However, keep it flexible – if something changes, it's okay. Think of routines like gentle rails guiding a train, not jail bars.* Use Tools and Timers: Organization apps, planners, or even sticky notes are life-savers. Write to-do lists and check things off. Use phone alarms for appointments (“Lunch time!”) and timers for work sprints (try 25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break, also known as the Pomodoro Technique). Putting reminders of chores where you'll see them (a note on the mirror, an alarm on your phone) helps counteract those memory glitches.* Create a Calming Environment: Pay attention to sensory needs. If you're easily overwhelmed, tidy your space, dim harsh lights, play gentle ambient sound or white noise, or wear noise-canceling headphones. If you have tactile sensitivities, wear soft fabrics and avoid itchy tags. A water bottle, fidget toy, or stress ball can give restless hands something to do. These tweaks let your brain focus on the task instead of extra sensory input.* Move Your Body Regularly: Physical activity isn't just good for health – it helps brains like ours work better. Short walks, stretching breaks, or even dancing to a favorite song can reset your focus and mood. Many people with ADHD find that moving wakes up the prefrontal cortex to get back on track. Exercise also calms anxiety, which can otherwise clog up thinking. Aim for some exercise every day, even if it's just 10 minutes – your brain will thank you.* Practice Mindfulness: This might sound unusual, but techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or guided relaxation can train your attention and reduce stress. It's like going to the gym for your brain. A simple practice: take 3 deep breaths before a meeting starts, or do a quick “body scan” (focus on relaxing each body part) if you feel wound up. Studies show mindfulness can improve focus in ADHD and help autistic people manage anxiety. It's not a magic fix, but over time it builds mental muscle.* Leverage Your Interests: Special interests and hyperfocus can be strengths. Whenever possible, tie your work or study to something you love. For example, if you love sports stats, try to learn math with sports data; if you adore art, find a way to visualize your notes. Also, don't feel guilty about indulging in your interests – they recharge you. Schedule time for that hobby, or use it as a reward (e.g., after finishing a task, allow yourself to play that game or read that sci-fi story).* Connect with Others: Build a support network. Talk to trusted friends or family members about what helps and what doesn't. Join local or online support groups – hearing how others cope can spark ideas. If you have ND kids or students, share stories of successful ND adults. Remember, you have unique experiences worth sharing. Also, communicate your needs: it's okay to say, “I need quiet time” or “Could you repeat that?” in polite ways.* Seek Professional Help When Needed: Therapy and sometimes medication can be game-changers. ADHD medications (like stimulants) are very effective for many, and therapy (like cognitive-behavioral therapy) can teach coping skills. For autism, therapy can include occupational therapy for sensory issues or social skills training. If anxiety or depression is present (common co-conditions), a counselor or support group can help. Don't hesitate to reach out to specialists or doctors who know about neurodiversity. There's no shame in getting expert help – it's evidence-based self-care.* Practice Self-Compassion: This may be the most important strategy. Recognize ADHD and autism as just parts of who you are, not failures or flaws. When you struggle with tasks or make a social mistake, try talking to yourself kindly: “That was tough, and I'm doing my best.” Celebrate wins, even small ones (finished that report? High-five!). Remember the neurodiversity mantra: different wiring is not broken wiring. Embracing your brain can turn frustration into empowerment. There's a growing community out there cheering you on.Bringing It Home: Stories of ProgressEnough theory – let's hear some successes. Across the neurodivergent community, people are thriving using strategies like these:* A teacher rearranged her classroom so students with ADHD and autism could move seats or use quiet corners when needed. She saw their grades and moods improve dramatically. She says just telling the class “Everyone thinks differently” made the kids feel accepted.* An autistic software developer arranged with her company to work mostly from home. By setting her own schedule and customizing her workspace (dim lighting, minimal noise), her productivity soared. Colleagues marveled at her bug-free code – once she had the right environment, her attention to detail became her superpower.* A college student with both ADHD and autism started using campus disability services. Now she gets extra time on exams and a note-taker. She says what felt like “cheating” at first turned out to be “evening the playing field.” With those supports, she's on track to graduate, and finally believes in herself.At every age, from school kids to CEOs, neurodivergent folks find ways to succeed. Maybe this week you'll try a new app or a different work spot, or open up to a friend about your needs. Every small step is progress.Tips for Parents and EducatorsIf you're listening as a parent or teacher, your understanding is huge for a young neurodivergent person. Here are a few tips:* Listen and Validate: When a child with ADHD/autism says a task is overwhelming or noises are too loud, believe them. Say things like “I hear you, that's really tough.” This reduces anxiety and builds trust.* Be Patient with Behavior: Actions like rocking, jumping, or blurting often serve a purpose (to stay calm or engaged). Instead of punishment, find safe outlets: sensory corners in class, extra recess, or quiet fidget toys.* Teach Organizational Skills: Break tasks into steps on a whiteboard. Use visual schedules (drawings or charts) so children can see the plan. Show them how to use checklists and reminders. These executive skills are not innate to all; children often need practice and coaching.* Focus on Strengths: If a student is passionate about dinosaurs, sneak some science or art into the lesson using dinosaurs. A kid who loves building things might enjoy a math puzzle about construction. When learning connects to interests, engagement skyrockets.* Model Acceptance: Use respectful language. Celebrate neurodiversity!

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on the difference between reacting and responding and how this is connected to a lack or abundance mindset. As we navigate through life's challenges, especially when we feel overwhelmed, it's easy to slip into a reactive mode. Our reactions, which often stem from a place of lack and frustration, continues to reinforce the reality we are living in, and how, by reacting, we may inadvertently be fighting for our limitations. Whatever limitations we fight for, we get to keep.  HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:04 - Reacting vs. Responding 00:02:07 - The Impact of Reactions 00:03:42 - Navigating Life's Demands 00:04:24 - Reinforcing Limitations 00:05:17 - Interrupting the Reaction Pattern 00:06:31 - The Metaphor of a Parasite 00:07:57 - Catching the Reaction 00:09:14 - Building Capacity Through Awareness 00:10:01 - Choosing Safety Without Evidence 00:10:54 - Anchoring into Your Highest Self 00:12:01 - Feeling Wealthy Amidst Lack 00:13:13 - Shifting from Reactivity to Empowerment 00:14:07 - Starving the Reaction Patterns 00:14:40 - Reclaiming Personal Power Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE  Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

Episode 3 | "When you are stuck and don't have the energy, are you a co-conspirator with your bad day?"In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch explore the power of voluntary discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth. They discuss how to break free from the cycle of victimhood and take agency over your day, even when it feels like everything is happening to you. Through personal stories and practical insights, they reveal how small, counterintuitive actions can open up new possibilities and generate motivation. Whether you're facing a mundane drift or a serious whirlwind, discover how to find agency and self-generate the energy needed to navigate life's challenges. Join the conversation and learn how to choose the unlikely path to get the life you really want.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:16 Stuck Before You Start06:44 Recognizing Agency12:18 Zigging and Zagging18:00 Finding Agency in Crisis24:19 Interrupting the Drift27:18 Sharing and BelongingMentions:Choose Your Role - An episode or concept mentioned as a philosophical underpinning to the current conversation.Self-Determination Theory - A theory mentioned that emphasizes the role of agency, skill improvement, and community in long-term motivation.Thursday Truth - A segment in the community where members share significant personal stories.Anchor Actions:Interrupt the Drift (AKA Zig or Zag): When you notice your day spiraling into a passive drift, identify a small, tangible action that breaks the cycle. This could be as simple as ordering a different drink, stepping outside for fresh air, or jotting down thoughts in a journal. The key is to consciously choose a different path, even if it feels insignificant at first. This small shift can create momentum and open up new possibilities.Embrace Agency: Recognize your role in your day's trajectory. Even on autopilot, you have the power to steer. Start by acknowledging your participation in the drift, then take responsibility for one small decision. Whether it's rescheduling a meeting or setting aside time for a personal practice, these actions reinforce your control and can generate the motivation you need.Engage in Community: Share your intentions and actions with someone in your life. Communicating your process not gives you a chance to hold account but also connects you to a broader support network. This sense of belonging can amplify your motivation and help sustain your efforts. Whether it's a quick text to a friend or a post in a supportive community, involve others in your journey to reinforce your commitment.Never Settle Promo Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

I woke up the day Venus entered Aries with fire in my bones. Not just a flicker—but a full-bodied, soul-deep ignition. In this solo transmission, we explore sacred rage, how to break free from looping patterns and victim consciousness, and what it means to be an impeccable steward of your fire. You'll hear about my own journey with rage and reclamation, the nervous system's role in realignment, and the cosmic invitation Venus brings as she rises in Aries.

Is interrupting ever a good thing in coaching? Many of us have been taught that interrupting is rude, disrespectful, or unhelpful, but what if the right kind of interruption could be transformational for a client? In this episode, we explore the complex role of interruptions in coaching. We often get asked in coaching supervision whether interrupting a client is okay, or if it's a sign of being too directive. The truth is, it depends. Interrupting can be incredibly useful when done with intention and in service of the client. It can be a tool to help clients shift patterns, refocus, and move towards their goals. We discuss different types of interruptions, from gentle redirections to stronger pattern-breaking interventions, and how to contract with clients upfront to make sure interruptions are welcomed, not resented. We also highlight the importance of rapport, as well as when to hold space in silence instead of stepping in. By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident about when and how to use interruptions in coaching, ensuring they enhance rather than disrupt the coaching process. Interrupting can be a valuable coaching skill when used intentionally and in service of the client. Whether it's a gentle redirection or a bold wake-up call, the key is to use it with awareness, rapport, and purpose. If you want to refine your coaching skills and explore how different techniques, including interruptions, can enhance your practice, check out our Coaching Training Quiz at www.mycoachingcourse.com.   Key Lessons Learned Interruptions are not inherently bad; They can help clients stay on track and challenge unhelpful patterns. The key question is: Who is the interruption serving? If it's for the client's benefit, it can be a valuable tool. Interrupting can be part of a coaching contract; Discussing it upfront ensures clients are comfortable with the approach. Some clients want to be interrupted; They may even request it in pre-coaching questionnaires, especially if they know they tend to talk in circles. Strong rapport allows for more direct interruptions; Clients who trust you are more open to challenge. Silence is also a form of interruption; Holding space instead of jumping in can be just as powerful. Interruptions should be purposeful; Whether it's to redirect, challenge, or highlight a pattern, it should always serve the coaching process.   Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Interruptions in Coaching Decide Whether an Interruption is Needed Is the client looping? Are they going off-track from their goal? Are they avoiding something important? Frame Interruptions as a Coaching Tool In the chemistry session, discuss whether they find interruptions helpful. Use pre-coaching questionnaires to gauge their communication style. Use Gentle Interruptions for Redirection If a client is spending too much time on updates instead of their goal, you might say: "I'm noticing that we've spent a lot of time on updates. You also mentioned you want to focus on [goal]. What would be most useful right now?" Use Stronger Interruptions to Break Patterns If a client is stuck in repetitive thinking, a direct approach can help: "I'm going to stop you there. We've had this same conversation in three sessions now. What's keeping you stuck?" Ensure Rapport is Strong Before Using Direct Interruptions If a client trusts you, they'll be more receptive to a bold challenge. Be aware of cultural and personal sensitivities; not all clients will react well to strong interventions. Balance Interruptions with Silence If a client is processing something deep, silence might be the best approach instead of interruption. Debrief After Using Interruptions At the end of the session, ask: "Was my approach today, including any interruptions, helpful for you?"

Sarah Boyd, child development expert and author of "Turn Down the Noise: A Practical Guide to Building an Emotionally Healthy Family in a Chronically Overstimulated World," joins me for a profound conversation about building emotionally healthy families in our chronically overstimulated world. Despite increasing awareness about resilience and mental health, anxiety and depression rates among children continue to rise dramatically. Sarah offers a powerful reframe: what if these emotional struggles aren't the problem but symptoms of our overstimulating environment? Sarah shares practical strategies for building emotional regulation capacity. "Interrupting the build-up" involves recognizing rising emotions before reaching the explosion point, then intentionally changing your state through simple actions like stepping outside or having an impromptu dance party. "Reframing" helps us actively reinterpret challenging situations through empowering questions.Learn more about Sarah's book at Turn Down the Noise.Learn more about Resilient Little Hearts and Sarah's children's book.Order Janell's new collaborative book: Healthy Habits for the HomeSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Before we jump into today's episode, I am personally inviting you to a once-in-a-lifetime, in-person event with me in my home. On December 9th, I'm opening my home for an exclusive event where I'll personally take you through my 12-step System, which has transformed thousands of lives. This is your invitation to MAXOUT in 2025. But make no mistake—this isn't for the timid. It's for those who want to crush the limits holding them back. There are limited spots left, so secure yours now at https://maxout2025.com. This week's episode is a taste of what you can expect from this amazing event... Romanticize Your Future: The Key to Unlocking Your Best Self Imagine if you could fall in love with your future. Not just daydream about it, but truly romanticize it in the same way you might cherish a loved one. When you care deeply about something, you protect it, nurture it, and give it the attention it deserves. Today, I'm challenging you to approach your future this way—to fall in love with the life you want to create. When you do, the way you show up in the world changes. You start seeing opportunities that were always there, but now they stand out, clear as day. The difference between winning and losing, success and failure, often comes down to a few pivotal moments. These moments define us, and being ready for them is critical. Life's big breaks don't come with a warning—they arrive when you least expect them. That's why preparation is everything. You can't rely on luck. Instead, you need to be consistently ready for those moments that could change your life. In this episode, I dive into how our thoughts shape our reality and how holding onto positive thoughts for just 15 seconds can shift your energy and set you up for success. I'll walk you through the concept of "thought stacking," where focusing on a thought for over a minute begins to reprogram your brain to notice opportunities that align with your goals. This isn't just about thinking happy thoughts—it's about creating a vibrational frequency that attracts the right people, opportunities, and circumstances into your life. I'm sharing strategies to interrupt negative patterns before they take root and how you can train your mind to stay focused on what you truly want, not what you fear. What if I told you that romanticizing your future could be the key to unlocking a life you can't wait to live? When you care for your future like you care for someone you love, you'll do whatever it takes to make it happen. You'll start seeing the world differently, and that's when life really starts to transform. So today, we're not just talking about setting goals or improving your mindset. We're talking about creating a future so compelling that you can't help but fall in love with it—and in the process, becoming the best version of yourself. Key Takeaways: The difference between success and failure often comes down to a handful of moments. Holding a thought for over 15 seconds can shift your vibrational frequency, attracting what you desire. Thought stacking can help you reprogram your mind to focus on positive outcomes. Romanticizing your future helps you care for it in a way that makes success inevitable. Interrupting negative thought patterns before they take root is essential to maintaining focus and control. So here's my challenge to you: Start romanticizing your future. Fall in love with the life you're building, treat it with the same care you'd give to something or someone you deeply cherish. Remember, you were born to do something great, and someone out there needs the best version of you. Let's make sure you're ready for that moment when it comes. And don't forget, to join me for “MAXOUT 2025" on December 9th for an exclusive event. This will be an intimate experience where you'll get to learn directly from me in my home.
