Today we're exploring a subject that's so often misunderstood, oversimplified, or brushed aside - ADHD in adulthood, and particularly what it means for women.If you've ever found yourself wondering why you feel constantly overwhelmed, why you can be so capable in some areas but struggle so deeply in others, or why that inner critic of yours feels louder than anyone else's voice — this conversation might just be a lightbulb moment.I'm joined by Professor James Brown, co-author of ADHD Unpacked, co-founder of the charity ADHD Adult UK, and the self-proclaimed least popular host of The ADHD Adults Podcast. James brings a mix of hard evidence, lived experience, and refreshing honesty to the topic of ADHD. He was himself only diagnosed as an adult, and his story of loathing, self-doubt, and eventual self-acceptance is one I think many of us - whether or not we have ADHD - will see parts of ourselves in.In this episode, James and I unpack the myths, the stigma, and the very real struggles of ADHD - especially how it shows up differently in women, and why so many of us have gone undiagnosed for far too long. This isn't just about labels or medication - it's about understanding ourselves with compassion, lifting the shame we carry, and finding ways to live with more ease and self-acceptance.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Professor James Brown:Book: https://amzn.eu/d/6GqLojXInstagram: @adhdadult_jamesStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Gabby Bernstein will be at The Summit of Greatness, happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1714"You can still be going through hard things, and do beautiful things in the world." - Gabby BernsteinGabby Bernstein used to be what she calls "parts on fire" - a workaholic living in hyper-vigilance, consumed by anxiety and control, forcing her way through life despite being sober and successful. When Lewis first met her 14 years ago, she was getting results but struggling internally, driven by wounded parts of herself that were trying to protect her but ultimately blocking her from true fulfillment. What she discovered changed everything: we all have multiple parts within us - some wounded, some controlling, some in firefighter mode - and the key isn't to eliminate them, but to heal them and create harmony between our higher self and these protective parts.Through her four-step process, Gabby learned to transform these parts rather than fight them. Her controller part that once exhausted her with force and anxiety now helps her take inspired action from a place of flow and trust. This isn't about surface-level positive thinking or typical manifesting techniques - it's about actual neural rewiring that happens when you develop a loving, parental relationship with the wounded parts of yourself. When you can turn your greatest sources of pain into your most powerful allies, everything in your life begins to shift toward the harmony and abundance you've been seeking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

A paycheck isn't enough.Every leader develops people. The question is—are you helping them grow, or holding them back?Too often, leaders focus on fixing weaknesses. It feels helpful, but it drains energy and rarely creates lasting progress. The truth is simple: people grow faster when they build on what they already do best. And when their values align with the organization's mission, performance and fulfillment reinforce each other.Here's how you can recalibrate: look at your calendar. Highlight the tasks that actually use your best strengths—and circle the ones that don't. Then decide: what can you delegate, what can you drop, and where should you double down?This week's challenge: have one strengths-focused conversation with someone on your team. Ask, “What do you do best—and how can we raise the bar there?” You'll be surprised at how energizing that simple shift can be.How are you helping your people grow by focusing on their strengths? I'd love to hear your thoughts.Let's keep learning together—and let's lead with purpose. Get full access to Lessons from Learning Leaders at lessonsfromlearningleaders.substack.com/subscribe

Send us a textIn this episode, Dawn sits down with Juan Alvarado, Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths® Coach. They discuss his journey into strengths coaching, the four domains (a.k.a. quadrants) of talent, how to apply strengths at work, and why intentional leadership beats accidental management every time.  Most teams operate on autopilot. Juan argues for the opposite: intentional leadership that starts with knowing what you naturally do best and designing work around it. What We CoverJuan's path to coaching: from “good at people” to certified strengths pro—and what surprised him along the way.Strengths 101: understanding the four domains—Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, Strategic Thinking—and how they show up on real teams.Application at work: turning talent into performance with role design, partnerships, and strengths-based delegation.Intentionality in leadership: moving from “hope and hustle” to planned practice—weekly rhythms, 1:1s, and decision filters grounded in strengths.Pitfalls & myths: why Top 5 ≠ personality cages, and how to avoid weaponizing strengths.Culture impact: building a shared language so coaching and feedback get easier (and less awkward).Key TakeawaysStrengths ≠ skills. Strengths are your best starting points; you still need skill, practice, and feedback.Build partnerships on purpose. Pair high Strategic Thinking with Executing to move plans into motion.Coach the how, not just the what. Align goals with the way people naturally create value.Make it a rhythm, not a rally. Weekly 1:1s with two questions:Where did your strengths show up this week?Where could you aim them next week?Don't weaponize strengths. “That's just my [Theme]” is a red flag; maturity means flexing for impact.Try-It-This-Week (Manager Challenge)Map your role: List your Top 5. For each, write one sentence: “I create value when I…”Design one partnership: Pick a priority and pair yourself with someone whose domain complements yours.Upgrade one 1:1: Use the two questions above and commit to a 15-minute cadence for the next four weeks.Listener ResourcesStrengthsFinder 2.0 — Tom RathStrengths Based Leadership — Tom Rath & Barry ConchieFirst, Break All the Rules — Marcus Buckingham & Curt CoffmanNow, Discover Your Strengths — Marcus Buckingham & Donald O.

Every leader develops people. The only question is—are you helping them grow, or stunting them?Too many leaders make the mistake of trying to “fix” weaknesses. But weaknesses rarely become strengths. Focusing there drains energy without creating real growth.The best leaders flip the script. They build on strengths, challenge people to stretch further, and set expectations that make growth inevitable.Here's my challenge for you: This week, sit down with one person on your team and ask, “What do you do best—and how can we raise the bar there?”That one conversation can shift someone's career—and your team's results.What strengths will you develop on your team this week?

Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Rita Ramakrishnan, a seasoned strategic executive and leadership coach with over 15 years of experience. Diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism Spectrum during her undergrad years, Rita reframed what could have been limitations into strengths and now looks to uplift other neurodivergent women in leadership roles. Currently, she is pursuing a master's degree in neurodivergent leadership at the University of Pennsylvania, intensifying her expertise in coaching and organizational strategy tailored to neurodivergent individuals. In our conversation, we cover everything from identifying when you're dysregulated (and what to do about it) to designing teams that play to everyone's strengths. Rita walks us through practical tools like outsourcing strategically, tracking your energy to uncover strengths, and building a leadership charter so teams can work more effectively together. It's a conversation about leading authentically, creating systems that work for your brain, and how to advocate for your needs without falling into people-pleasing traps. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/243 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Try creating a Minimum Viable Routine - your baseline routine that consists of the bare minimum you need in place to function. The point of an MVR is to take those non-negotiables and lock them in, either with automation, outsourcing, or simple systems. That way, when ADHD throws a curveball, you still have the essentials covered. 2. Instead of only measuring productivity by what gets checked off a to-do list, try looking at how you feel after activities. Track when you walk away from a meeting or task feeling energized, and when you walk away feeling drained. 3. Rejection sensitivity hits hard for many folks with ADHD. A short email reply, a period at the end of a text, or even a coworker sounding rushed can feel like a personal rejection. Rita's advice is to deliberately separate yourself from the situation and try to depersonalize feedback. This reframing can help shift from identity-based thinking (like “I'm the problem”) to more situation-based thinking (“this may be tough, but it's fixable”).

Send us a textIn this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, host Nathan Freeburg is joined by Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring, co-authors of Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane. Together, they unpack the metaphor of maps—how our experiences, values, and memories create inner landscapes that shape who we are and how we lead.Key themes explored:Why our lives can be seen as maps that reveal both familiar paths and hidden folds.How reflection helps us navigate uncertainty and find answers within our own stories.The role of origin stories and shaping influences in leadership.How life's seasons and folds prepare us for growth and resilience.The importance of mentors and guides—experts, explorers, empaths, and entertainers—who help us interpret our maps.Pull Quotes:“Maps represent our lives, our inner landscape, our lived experiences, and the people that have shaped us.” – Brian Schubring“In doing so, you learn to love your map. To not be ashamed of it, not just hide it away. But put dignity and compassion towards how you've been created and wired.” – Dr. Linda Schubring

What are you naturally great at, and where do you consistently struggle? In this episode, we're diving into the strengths and weaknesses that shape how we show up in the world. Knowing both is essential to living with intention and integrity. We'll unpack how our strengths aren't always obvious (especially when they come easily), how weaknesses can be mislabeled, and why it's ok, (and not prideful!) to actually like who you are. We get honest about common reasons we struggle to identify our strengths, why naming our weaknesses can be so uncomfortable, and how to become a better steward of what we've been given. This isn't about being perfect (thank goodness!).This is about being honest, self-aware, and better equipped to live in alignment with who we were created to be.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, explores the critical gap between the training ground and the reality of the field (Amazon Affiliate). While simulations sharpen technical skills, they rarely prepare first responders for the emotional aftermath of a traumatic call. We unpack why this disconnect exists, the hidden cost of unaddressed emotional impact, and how to better equip responders for both the tactical and mental sides of the job. The Strengths of Simulation Training: Why repetitive skill practice builds confidence and speed. How scenario-based drills mimic high-pressure decision-making. Where Simulations Fall Short: The emotional detachment of training compared to real-world trauma. Why stress inoculation doesn't always translate to emotional resilience. The Shock of First-Time Exposure: How sensory details, grief, and chaos hit harder in the field. Why early traumatic experiences can shape long-term coping patterns. Unspoken Cultural Barriers: The expectation to “shake it off” after a difficult call. Why admitting emotional struggle is still stigmatized in many departments. The Long-Term Impact of Ignored Fallout: How cumulative stress and unresolved trauma build toward burnout or PTSD. The ripple effect on relationships, decision-making, and mental health. Strategies to Bridge the Gap: Integrate Emotional Debriefs into Training: Include discussions on emotional response alongside skill critique. Normalize Mental Rehearsal for Trauma: Practice emotional grounding and self-talk techniques before the real thing. Pair Training with Peer Support Exposure: Introduce recruits to safe spaces for sharing and processing. Leadership Modeling Vulnerability: Supervisors openly discussing their own emotional fallout experiences. Ongoing Mental Resilience Training: Treat emotional readiness like physical skills—requiring regular refreshers. This episode challenges the idea that technical proficiency alone equals readiness, reminding us that true preparedness includes the mental tools to face what happens after the sirens fade.

Have you ever wondered why it feels so hard to see your own strengths, even when everyone around you seems to see them so clearly? It's easy to dismiss what comes naturally to us as “just being ourselves.” But in the day-to-day rush of work, leadership, and life, that simple act of naming and claiming our strengths can unlock a whole new level of joy, productivity, and even resilience. You weren't meant to show up like anyone else. You're one in 33 million, my friend! So let's explore what it actually looks like to lead with your strengths—not just at work, but in every part of your life. I'm joined by Dr. Jeff Williamson, executive coach, professor, and certified Gallup Strengths coach, who brings not just insight but a lived passion for helping people discover and maximize their strengths. We peel back the curtain for a real conversation about what it looks like to use your strengths every single day, especially when the going gets tough. This isn't a surface-level StrengthsFinder recap, and it's definitely not about another personality quiz to forget in your junk drawer. We're going deeper—into the power of naming, memorizing, and activating your strengths so you can experience more peace, productivity, and purpose. You already have the tools. You just need to pick them up.

Send us a textIn this short Labor Day reflection, host Nathan Freeburg shares an unexpected leadership insight inspired by the Benedictine monks' philosophy of work. Drawing on the ancient motto Ora et Labora—“Pray and Work”—this episode explores how viewing our work as sacred, balanced, and community-driven can transform the way we lead and build team culture.Whether you're running a team, leading a company, or simply reevaluating your relationship with work, this episode invites you to reframe work as more than just a task—it's a shaping force.

How do you fully understand and explain the work of Jesus on the cross? In this episode, Alex and Scott explore the doctrine of the atonement, focusing on the concept of Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA) and contrasting it with other historical and theological views. The discussion walks through various atonement theories—including the Moral Influence, Ransom, and Christus Victor views and more—acknowledging elements of truth in each while highlighting their limitations compared to PSA. Lastly, they discuss the missiological implications, countering the claim that PSA is purely a Western, legalistic construct. Instead, they stress that guilt and innocence are universal moral realities recognized across cultures, and missionaries should faithfully present the biblical doctrine while adapting metaphors and illustrations for local understanding. Key Topics Importance of understanding the atonement for cross-cultural missions. Overview of major atonement theories: Moral Influence, Ransom, Christus Victor, Satisfaction, Governmental, and Scapegoat. Strengths and weaknesses of each theory compared to Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA). Scriptural foundations for PSA and its theological depth. Addressing the critiques of PSA. Practical considerations for contextualizing PSA in missionary work. Download the transcript for this episode.

Executive coach and former CEO Martin Dubin joins AJ and Johnny to reveal the hidden blind spots that quietly sabotage leaders and high performers. From the Dunning–Kruger effect to the “fishbowl” and “cabana” phenomena, Marty shows how strengths overused become weaknesses, and why true growth requires identity shifts, not just behavior tweaks. Packed with practical insights, he explains why emotions are data, how leaders unintentionally communicate even when silent, and why luck often comes down to context and fit. Whether you're climbing the ladder or running the show, Marty offers a toolkit to see yourself clearly and lead more effectively.
