Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___Vickie Howell discovered something most people never do: the exact moment her brain went quiet. It happened when her hands were busy with yarn and needles, long before she had words for ADHD or understood why making things felt like medicine.Vickie has spent over two decades at the forefront of the modern craft movement. She's best known as the host of Knitty Gritty on HGTV, but her reach goes far beyond the screen. She's written bestselling books, launched hit YouTube shows and PBS segments, and recently founded StitchWell Social Club, a membership community that connects creativity with nervous system care. At 51, when she was diagnosed with ADHD, everything came into focus—her rocky school years, the urgency behind her creative drive, and the systems she built to stay afloat in a world that didn't always make room for brains like hers.In this episode, Vickie and Tracy unpack the connection between fiber arts and focus, between making things and making peace with your own mind. Vickie shares how handcrafts became her regulation tool, how bullet points saved her writing life, and why crafting deserves a seat at the mental health table. They also talk about imposter syndrome, building a business around your strengths, and what it means to get a diagnosis later in life—and realize you were never actually “lazy” or “scattered,” just misunderstood.Whether you knit or not, Vickie's story will leave you thinking differently about how we soothe ourselves, how we process the world, and how creativity can become a powerful form of self-advocacy.Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickie-howell-0592b55 Website: https://vickiehowell.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vickiehowell Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

When I sat down to interview Christy last week, I had no plans for the interview to go so long but I was enjoying talking to her so much and felt that there was so much ground to cover it warranted an extended interview which has now been broken into two parts. I call this part of the interview "The Knitty Gritty" because after finding out what Christy was like growing up (mohawk and all) I wanted to ask her about Mike Garcia and some of the decisions he has made and things he has done since being elected. Needless to say, Garcia doesn't cut the mustard for Smith. And to be honest, even if Christy wasn't a friend, the difference between what Mike Garcia's understanding and knowledge of federal and state government and what Christy's understanding and knowledge is like comparing night to day. I know. I know I can already hear the critics complaining about my bias and partisanship but regardless of my politics the honest truth is my experience with Garcia was one where he brought notes and showed a lack of knowledge of healthcare. Christy on the other hand, spoke off the cuff and was sharp as a tack. Now, I'd love to give Congressman Garcia the benefit of a doubt and interview him again to see where he stands on several issues, as well as see if his knowledge has increased since going to Washington. (I'd also love to see if he could do an interview without bringing notes) but despite promising to return to do this show, he has broken his word and in complete total disclosure, I have had more than a falling out with him over the situation. Which leads me back to Christy Smith who has stated to me that she is an open book and always available to talk or sit down and do an interview. I have found her to be open, honest, knowledgeable, and always incredibly approachable. So say what you will about my partisanship, but Christy Smith is the kind of candidate that I, personally, Stephen Daniels wants to see go to Congress. With that in mind, I did something on this show I have never done since this show began. I, and I want to emphasize this- not the talk of santa clarita , nor Radio Free Santa Clarita, but me, Stephen Daniels has endorsed her for Congress. A quick note about that endorsement. I have as of late have been accused of being too partisan on this show. Some have even called me a Democratic propogandist. Look, this is the way it is, pure and simple. I am who I am. I don't hide my politics or opinions. Instead I choose to be myself when I interview anyone. I won't pretend to be someone I'm not. That's just not honest to anyone and I won't do that to my loyal listeners (all seven of them) With me, for better or for worse, what you see is what you get. But enough about me, lets get back to the main attraction and the second part of my interview with Christy Smith.
