Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____A 10-year-old boy sat across from Dr. Kalaki Clarke, MD during her psychiatry rotation, and she saw herself. Smart, charming, good grades but couldn't get it together. That's when she knew she had ADHD too.Dr. Clarke was in her first year of residency at UC Irvine, working 80-hour weeks in a system designed to test you constantly. She'd been the good kid, the high achiever, the one who always kept it together. But in residency, surrounded by neurotypical colleagues, sleep-deprived, and constantly performing, the mask finally came off. Her 2015 diagnosis became a turning point, launching her into advocacy for physicians with ADHD. She helped craft equity guidelines for neurodivergent resident physicians, spoke at the International Conference on ADHD, and delivered a TEDx talk called "Seeing is Freeing: How Observation Releases ADHD Potential."Now, as a board-certified family physician and Associate Professor of Medical Education at USC's Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Clarke spends her time providing care for underserved communities in Los Angeles while shaping the next generation of doctors.In this conversation, Dr. Clarke and Tracy talk about what it's like to have ADHD in a profession that demands perfection and how "seeing is freeing" applies to both patients and physicians. Dr. Clarke introduces her CAT method (Capture, Analyze, Transform), a framework for turning struggles into strategies. She also talks about leading by example, why she came out publicly about her ADHD at work, and what it means to create space for others to be seen when you've spent so long feeling invisible yourself.Resources: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmclarkemd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/this_md_kalaki/ TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKmRyxlas3ISend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

"It's not enough to think confident — you have to show it. The inner work matters, but so does the outer energy you project into the world." — Kimmy Seltzer In this episode, Kristen M. Olson sits down with Kimmy Seltzer — a therapist-turned-dating-strategist and host of The Charisma Quotient podcast — to dissect modern love in the age of apps, filters, and fast connections. They explore: Kimmy's journey from therapist to style-confidence coach and media personality. Her signature outside-in method for building confidence and attraction. The connection between appearance, energy, and emotional readiness. What reality dating shows like Love Is Blind Denver and The Golden Bachelor reveal about our obsession with instant chemistry. Why rushing the dating process sabotages long-term connection — and how to start "data-dating" instead of "blind-dating." How to reframe being single as a period of self-alignment, not self-fixing. Key Takeaway: Confidence is a skill built both internally and externally — when you align your energy, mindset, and presentation, you attract from authenticity, not fear.

Using an outside-in approach, Kimmy implements targeted style, emotional and social intelligence in people's lives using her signature formula, "The Charisma Quotient," working on body language, first impressions, image/wardrobe and flirting and how it impacts attraction. This Los Angeles-based expert travels the country helping people discover confidence, charisma and connection as a speaker at TEDx, National Matchmaking Conferences, eHarmony, Neutrogena, The Guild at Universal and UCLA and media appearances in Tamron Hall Show, ABC News, Fox News, NBC News and Inside Edition. Kimmy is also a regular contributor to the Huffington Post with appearances in Cosmopolitan, Oprah Magazine, Redbook, Reader's Digest, AskMen, Fox News Magazine, Yahoo and the Washington Examiner, among a myriad of other publications.

Craig Siegel was The Walking Dead. Thirteen years on Wall Street. Making good money but the lights were on and nobody was home. Depleted at the end of every day. Not tired from a job well done. Depleted from being completely out of alignment. Then he started running marathons. Those miles became his connection time. Tapping into divine inspiration without caring about anything else. The pandemic hit and Craig shut his office for two weeks. Used that time to get quiet and reassess. Realized his obsession with personal development wasn't just passion. It was assignment. Built a ten-lane highway strategy. Coaching. Speaking. TED talk. Podcast. Book deal. Started with zero following. Zero connections. Here's what gripped me. Craig said going back to his old life equated to death. Not metaphorically. He actually associated death with choosing to return to Wall Street. He went back one day after starting CLS. Came home and said never again. Burned the ships. All in or die trying. The difference between pressure and stress became clear. Pressure is a flashlight showing massive growth on the other side. Stress means you're in the wrong arena. Out of alignment. Soul contracting. When you feel drained depleted tired in that deep way it's your signal to reassess everything. The transformation included his entire identity. Got engaged to his soulmate. Got a new puppy. Everything reinvented. Before that he wasn't even himself. Created a persona based on nothing. When he reinvented he gave himself permission to be less than perfect. Journey back to actual him. People would gravitate or they wouldn't. He could live with that. The money story is crucial. Craig makes more now than he ever made on Wall Street. Difference is it's a byproduct and energetic exchange. You can have purpose and love what you're doing while unapologetically doing business too. Most people think what made them successful was the arena not themselves. Wrong. You make everything successful. Those characteristics transfer. The Reinvention Formula released last August. Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. Fifteen years of personal development condensed. First step is getting clarity. Realizing you're not in alignment. Understanding you have a choice. This is your movie. You're the main character. If you don't like the plot the pen is in your hands to rewrite the next scene.We Meet: Craig Siegel, Global Keynote SpeakerConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Craig: https://www.instagram.com/craigsiegel_cls/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Craig: Craig Siegel, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Selling Author of 'The Reinvention Formula,' is a global keynote speaker, coach, TEDx speaker, and host of The CLS Experience podcast. Endorsed by luminaries like Jim Kwik and Ed Mylett, Craig, a 7-time marathoner, left his Wall Street job during the pandemic to pursue his true purpose. His mastery, energy, and inspirational impact have made CLS one of the most engaging communities globally. Craig focuses on removing limiting beliefs, fostering positive mindsets in both business and personal realms, and encouraging a wholehearted commitment to one's true purpose. He believes the riskiest thing we can do is to play it safe.

405 A Love Letter To My Future Self Throughout life there will come times where we must take up our skills and talents as a knight would a sword and shield, wielding our innate and powerful gifts to further our lives for the better. By facing these moments, refusing to make excuses, and instead put in the hard work, we are bound to succeed.  In this episode, Sarah Elkins contemplates the events that lead up to her presence on the TEDX stage, how the encouragement of her closest confidants, the peacefulness of nature on her hikes, and her own self reflection has brought her to this pivotal moment in her life.    Highlights What are you hesitating on? What is giving you pause as you take this next step in your life? How social media and our own personal responsibility can potentially contribute to division. Connecting as a human being is all you need to be to make your life and the lives of those around you more fulfilling. Are you making excuses? Or are you avoiding doing something hard even though it will pay off in the end? You just need to make it exist first, then you can make it perfect.  You are at a summit, but not the summit.   Quotes "Every like, comment, and share, tells the algorithm on every platform exactly what it needs to know to manipulate us." "Our personal stories can reduce loneliness and division when we share them with the intention to connect. Not with the intention to change a person's mind." "You took big risks Sarah, and they paid off! I'm not surprised at all."   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Stop calling it strategy. Most leaders are not doing strategy; they are managing a glorified to-do list. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Simon Severino, author of Strategy Sprints, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, and CEO of Strategy Sprints, to talk about how to lead with clarity, focus, and speed. Simon helps leaders design an operating rhythm that turns lofty visions into measurable weekly wins, all without adding more meetings or complexity. Simon has spent over two decades helping leaders enter markets, scale effectively, and remain competitive in uncertain times. His Strategy Sprints method replaces long planning cycles with focused 90-day sprints that keep teams learning, adapting, and moving fast. It is a system designed for real-life scenarios, where uncertainty is constant and leaders cannot afford to wait for perfect information. Simon reminds us that strategy is not about being right; it is about learning fast. His Focus Card is a simple but powerful tool: one page for your strategy, one tab for weekly metrics. Every Monday, teams set their priorities. Every Friday, they review what is working and what is not. It is a rhythm that keeps everyone focused and aligned, turning strategy from theory into practice. Simon also challenges leaders to build like Lego, not Duplo, modular, flexible, and fast to reconfigure. When markets shift, teams that move in small, adaptable units thrive. That mindset is not just tactical, it is cultural. It encourages curiosity, experimentation, and speed. The beauty of Simon's method is its simplicity. It does not add complexity; it removes it. The Strategy Sprint approach helps leaders focus on what matters, cut through noise, and lead teams that win through clarity and cadence. My Takeaways 1. Plans list tasks. Strategy makes bets. Great leaders take responsibility for the assumptions they make. 2. Measure both cause and effect. Track the activities and the results they create. 3. Shorten your feedback loop. A Monday and Friday rhythm beats quarterly reviews every time. 4. Build modular. Smaller, faster systems are easier to adapt when the market shifts. 5. Seek truth, not validation. Try to invalidate your assumptions weekly. If they hold up, you are truly winning. When I asked Simon what he wished leaders understood about strategy, he said: “Do not try to prove you are right. Try to prove yourself wrong. If your assumptions survive, then you are winning.” And if you want to bring more focus and agility to your team, try Simon's Focus Card exercise. You might be surprised at how much clarity one page can bring.

When Dr. Taryn Fletcher walked away from her six-figure leadership career in education, it wasn't because she failed—it was because she outgrew it. Within just 90 days of starting her business, she turned her professional network and reputation into $100,000 in corporate contracts. Three years later, her business had generated over $1 million in revenue—all through organic visibility and relationships built long before she became an entrepreneur. Taryn calls this leveraging leadership equity—using the skills, credibility, and connections you've already built to create new opportunities. By positioning herself as a thought leader through her TEDx talk, bestselling book, and consistent visibility, she built trust that converted into demand.

Host: Kate Brownfield, Certified Whole Person & ADHD Parent Coach Guest: Dr. Kate Lund, clinical psychologist, peak performance coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting Episode Overview In this empowering “Kate + Kate” episode, Kate talks with Dr. Kate Lund about what resilient parenting really looks like when you're raising kids with ADHD, big emotions, or health challenges. Drawing from her own medical journey (hydrocephalus as a child), 20+ years as a psychologist, and parenting 18-year-old twins, Dr. Lund explains resilience not as “pushing through,” but as a lifestyle: managing your stress response daily so you can ride the waves of homework battles, morning chaos, and dysregulated kids. She teaches a simple, science-backed tool, the Relaxation Response, that parents can practice for 5 minutes in the morning and at night to lower reactivity, model calmness, and create a more regulated home. Suppose your baseline feels higher than that of other parents because your child is more intense or more dysregulated. In that case, this episode will help you stop comparing, honor your unique context, and build steadiness that you can actually sustain. What We Talk About (Highlights) Resilience as a lifestyle Managing your stress response The Relaxation Response (Herbert Benson) Modeling regulation Avoiding the comparison trap “Step away” moments Ripple effect for ADHD families: Calm first, then coach skills Resources & Links Guest: Dr. Kate Lund https://www.katelundspeaks.com/ Book: Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting https://www.katelundspeaks.com/book About Your Host, Kate I'm Kate Brownfield, Certified Whole Person & ADHD Parent Coach, author of How We Roll: A Parent's Journey Raising a Child with ADHD, and host of The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast.

In this powerful episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Chris James, a nationally recognized spoken word artist, TEDx speaker, mental health educator, and founder of Creative Connections. As a father of seven and the visionary behind the “Black Boys Better” program, Chris shares how art, advocacy, and emotional intelligence are reshaping the conversation around fatherhood and mental wellness. The two dive deep into fatherhood, the danger of emotional suppression, and how men often carry unacknowledged pain in silence. Chris opens up about becoming a father at 16, dropping his oldest son off at college while raising an 18-month-old, and how his own healing journey allows him to serve boys and men with greater empathy and truth. He and Braswell challenge the myth that men don't express emotions, arguing instead that men communicate constantly—we just need to listen differently. This episode is rich with lived experience, critical insight, and practical frameworks for healing, mentoring, and creating culturally relevant support systems for Black boys and their fathers.

This week, in honor of Halloween, we're presenting two classic stories about facing fears for science.Part 1: As a newly minted PhD student in geology, Erik Klemetti starts to question his decisions when Aucanquilcha, a 20,000-foot volcano in Chile, proves difficult to tame. Part 2: Explorer George Kourounis finds himself growing increasingly anxious as he prepares to enter a fiery sinkhole known as the “Doorway to Hell.” Erik Klemetti is an associate professor of Geosciences and volcanologist at Denison University. He works on volcanoes all over the planet, from Chile to New Zealand to the Cascades of Oregon and California. His research focuses on how crystals record the events inside a volcano before and between eruptions. For the past 9 years, he's been teaching all the “hard rock” classes at Denison. He also writes for Discover Magazine. His blog, Rocky Planet, have been running since Fall 2017. Before that, he wrote Eruptions, a blog about volcanoes, for Wired Science for 9 years. You can also find him on Twitter (@eruptionsblog), variously tweeting about volcanoes, baseball (mostly Red Sox and Mariners) and his love of punk. George Kourounis is a renowned global explorer and storm chaser who specializes in documenting extreme forces of nature including: tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, deserts, caves, avalanches and more. He is an Explorer In Residence for The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, served as the Chairman of the Explorers Club Canadian Chapter, and has received several awards and medals for his efforts. He frequently finds himself driving into the eye of fierce storms, or descending ropes into actively erupting volcanic craters, often while hosting television programs including “Angry Planet” and others. He has given five TEDx talks, and has addressed the United Nations Environmental Emergencies Forum. George's expeditions have taken him to over 80 countries on all seven continents to such far-flung places as: Madagascar, Turkmenistan, Vanuatu, Greenland, North Korea, Myanmar, and Antarctica.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's episode, Ken dives solo into a sweet subject—faith. Is faith really just about feelings, or have we misunderstood what it means to believe? Drawing from scripture, chocolate milk cravings, and even some TEDx talk wisdom, Ken Williams challenges the idea that faith is just a warm fuzzy sensation, inviting us to reconsider how we approach the things we hope for and pursue.Through playful analogies—like journeys for discounted Halloween candy and the arduous process of finding the right TEDx stage—Ken explores the practical, everyday acts of faith we often don't notice. What happens when things don't go according to plan? Is disappointment evidence that our faith is misplaced, or could it be a sign that belief is more about action than emotion?Listen in for fresh questions and unexpected answers as Ken Williams helps reset your expectations about faith, belief, and divine direction. If you've ever felt doubt or frustration, this episode will help you find hope (and maybe even the world's best chocolate milk) where you least expect it.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Today, I interview Robin Humphreys, who once felt her voice caught in her throat and her body tense with fear. She shares how creative expression became her lifeline, helping her release what she couldn't say out loud.Growing up sensitive and full of imagination, Robin later faced experiences that taught her to hold back her voice.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Dr. Claudia Six. Money and sex are two of the hardest topics to talk about, and yet the ones that touch every relationship. Dr. Claudia Six has spent decades helping people open up about both, and what she's learned may surprise you.

This week, Ash is joined by Frank Elaridi, certified energy worker and former journalist, for a powerful conversation on healing, spiritual awareness, and finding peace in the present moment. After experiencing burnout in his journalism career, Frank turned inward and reconnected with his soul, leading him into the self-development and energy healing space. He shares how the mind can be both a tool for growth and a source of suffering, and how practices like breathwork foster resilience, clarity, and inner calm. Together, Ash and Frank explore the tension between ego and spirit, how the ego seeks control while the spirit embraces acceptance and liberation. They dive into the deeper truths of manifesting, the role of karma in shaping both comfort and struggle, and the courage it takes to choose peace amidst fear, stress, and ambition. The conversation also highlights the importance of attachment, detachment, and discerning intuition from fleeting feelings. By embracing life as a continuous ceremony, they remind us that fulfillment comes from being, not just doing. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How Frank Elaridi transitioned from journalism to energy work and healing. Why the mind is both a tool for growth and a source of suffering. The role of breathwork in cultivating peace and resilience. How ego seeks solutions while the spirit embraces acceptance. Why manifesting is about liberation, not material gain. The influence of karma in shaping comfort and struggle on the spiritual path. How to navigate attachment, detachment, and intuition. Why presence and being are key to fulfillment and transformation.

“If you don't make the video with audio in mind first, that's the difference between, you know, a 14% click-through rate versus, you know, a 2% click-through rate. And a lot of people don't tie those two together, that it matters. It's something that people should be focusing on with a lot of time and energy.” – Nikolaj KlochThis week's guest is a videographer, content creator, and former aerospace engineer who helps speakers, entrepreneurs, and brands elevate their presence using impactful video that actually delivers. With a background in both engineering and creative production, he brings a rare mix of precision and artistry to his work, and he's worked with speakers from TEDx stages to Fortune 500 boardrooms, helping them stand out, connect with audiences, and grow their influence.His name is Nikolaj Kloch, and he's passionate about the power of sound and its impact on visuals. Stay tuned as he shares his insights on why audio isn't just important – it's essential.

(0:00:00) - The Power of Audio in MarketingAs we start off our discussion, Nikolaj recalls one of his first memories of sound, a Lego commercial his brother starred in when they were children. “They actually had to bring in a mic and he just hit the blocks over and over to get the sound crumbling,” he recalls. “And you know, you don't put those together as a kid until you get older, but I can always hear those blocks crumbling.” He shares how his background as an aerospace engineer took a surprising turn towards audio production, and the common threads between the two. “A lot of people think they don't translate as much,” he explains, “but it's one of those things where, you know, audio is a great example of the nitty gritty. There are specific engineers that dive into this every single day, and spend nothing else for their time.”(0:09:12) - Mastering Precision Audio RecordingWe talk about precision audio, just what that phrase really means, and the extensive background that getting the most out of audio can require. “It's kind of like Picasso saying he won't sell his little picture on his napkin because he's taken so much time learning this,” Nikolaj says. “And I feel like that directly ties into this, because it's really precision. You know they have to line up perfectly.” As the first half of our talk wraps up, Nikolaj shares how he aims to create the ideal environment for an on-site recording and how he helps clients work around some less-than-ideal ones. “I'm going to be reusing this over and over,” he says. “So I'm always like, please, let me at least talk to them and see what their setup is, let's dive into it a bit. They usually get a little annoyed, but it makes a big difference.” Episode SummaryHow videographer Nikolaj Kloch transitioned from aerospace engineering to sound design.Nikolaj's work with precision audio, from live recordings to film...
