My conversation with Maria about her journey in being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Please listen to her story and learn more about ADHD and how you can support those with this neurodevelopmental disorder. About having ADHD Maria says "Our brains are wired differently, and that doesn't mean you are less than or not smart compared to others. We as divergent thinkers have so much to offer, we're creative, innovators, and we can be passionate with what we are interested in and love to do. We are driven and work great under pressure."

In May of 2020, I did an IG TV interview with Rick Green - Founder of totallyadd.com on the topic of why ADDers have challenges starting tasks and even following through. Rick shared so many practical insights and approaches that I wanted to capture and share the audio file here. These are some of our talking points : Why it is important to get clear when starting How overwhelm can get in the way of starting a task BoringTasks that have a lot of emotion behind them how to work with your strengths to get through a task how self-esteem plays a big role in task initiation and follow-through the power of visualization can make a difference in your approach Perfectionism is another hurdle to overcome when it comes to task initiation and follow-through why it's beneficial to get have a support system around you to hold keep you on track (towards the 20 min mark, this piece of his approach really was beneficial for me) About Rick Green: Rick Green, M.C., OOnt, BSc, is an award-winning comedy writer, producer, and director with over 700 episodes of radio and television to his credit. After he received a diagnosis of ADHD he began a 20-year exploration of this disorder. In 2009 he and his wife, Ava, created the ground-breaking program, ADD & Loving It?!, the TotallyADD.com website, a PBS sequel, ADD & Mastering It!, a dozen full-length programs on ADHD featuring top experts, and over 100 short videos that cover every aspect of ADHD.

Rather, it is meant to supplement your doctor's visit and explain why your doctor asked what they asked, and help explain the diagnosis and common treatment plans.Doctors often have very different styles and approaches to a patient and their diagnosis. If we discuss a question or treatment plan that your doctor didnt mention, that doesn't mean that they are a bad doctor.

Kali’s father recently passed away: this podcast is dedicated in memory of her father. Kali Stanton joins me on this episode of the podcast. She lives in Minnesota and is a teacher, wife and mom. Her most recent hobby she enjoys are piano lessons. I previously interviewed Kali in Season 6. She has had many changes in her life since then, including moving to a new town and a new job. Kali was diagnosed in 2015 with ADHD and has now been told she now does not have ADHD. In the last three years, Kali has had many changes in her life, including having her ADHD “undiagnosed”. The new clinic which treated her sent her to a psychologist for a more accurate diagnosis of Kali’s situation. Kali wasn’t sure what to do, then decided that instead of focusing on a diagnosis, she would focus on how she felt and if the therapy and methods she was practicing were making her feel better or not. Kali has learned how having empathy for other family members and assisting them when they are diagnosed can help the entire family be better together. She also realizes there are times you need to take a break with another who you are in a relationship with to preserve the relationship for the future.

Todd Ellis joins me on this episode of the podcast. Todd is 43, is a grandfather of one and works for Microsoft Corporation outside of Seattle for the past 18 years. He was diagnosed at age eight. He recalls being a “spark plug” for his parents. As the youngest of three and the only boy, his parents didn’t understand his behavior. His parents moved around quite often because of his parent’s work, so he was often the “new kid” at school. He found school boring and dull, except for science classes. He skipped most of high school, In the last few years, Todd has “discovered an inner joy in helping people realize and reach their potential. Through this crazy tenure I have found space to reflect and what I have discovered has shaken my core.” His fulfillment is expressed in more “humanistic ways” with CrossFit, cookies, mindfulness and service to others. His personal mission is “To inspire and cultivate within everyone I meet, the reality that we all can stretch and reach milestones which lay far beyond what we comprehend as our current limit.” Todd has learned through trial and error that he doesn’t have to be pegged into a socially “normal” role.

When he found out as a child he could take care of animals for a living, Paul knew what he wanted to do as an adult.

Yes, in fact, there are two sides, and approaching those closest to us with news that something is not as they’ve always understood it in your relationship can be jarring.

Rick Green and Jeff Copper, an ADHD and attention coach, agree. They don’t want you to have to take ADHD medications. But if you are like most other adults with ADHD, not taking meds and or doing the research on the pros and cons, there is a good chance you’re suffering needlessly from ignorance. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Rick Green of Totally ADD (www.totallyadd.com) around the making of his biggest project to date – a five-video series covering every aspect of ADHD medication. Rick talks about the challenge of weaving together interviews with dozens of experts and 18 adults who have ADHD and were willing to tell their medication stories. He also shares insights on ADHD meds and insights gained from producing the documentary. He now has a very different view of the potential and the limits of medication and a clear sense of the role of medication in a holistic treatment plan. It’s become clear that people’s fears about medication are misplaced. If you have been diagnosed with or are impacted by ADHD, it is huge mistake to miss this show.

Brody Bricker was one of my best friends growing up. He lived to cause trouble. He would do anything to get a reaction out of someone. He had absolutely no conscience, and the only time I ever saw him smile, was after causing any kind of mayhem. In this Episode we discuss why I would have been friends with such an incredibly bad kid. The things he did defy reason. I did not want to spend the time it would take to tell all the stories so dependng on the strength of this show, perhaps there will be a second and a third show to finish his resume of terror. I have changed his name, the names of his victims, and the names of any businesses that might have suffered at the expense of his campaign of terror. I dont condone his actions but in a dark way I really still think much of it is funny. Thanks to Rick & Ava Green of Totally ADD.
