This week I had a great conversation with leadership coach Leigh Collier. In this episode we go over the process of how she helps individuals discover the best version of themselves by overcoming limiting beliefs.
This week I’m talking with Dez Rock, an entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience and currently serves as the CEO at SIEMonster - a web security company. But today we’re focusing on her ADHD and how she believes it has made her into an exceptional leader.
With ADHD we get to hear a lot of advice on how to get past our various symptoms. Sometimes that advice isn’t so bad, sometimes it’s pretty good - I mean that’s what I’m trying to do with this podcast. But more often than not the advice we get for how to deal with our ADHD is downright bad.
In this episode we’re going to be exploring some of this unhelpful advice and what makes it bad and hopefully how we might be able to turn it around into something useful.
In this episode, I talk with Maria-Victoria Albina and we delve into practical tools and empowering practices to support your journey toward wellness. We get started with some definitions and then navigate through self-care, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and so much more.
Finding Your Path with Shell Mendelson
This week I had a great conversation with Shell Mendelson, a career counselor who specializes in working with adults with ADHD.
In this episode, we dive into the nitty gritty of ADHD and how advice for neurotypicals often doesn’t work for those of us with ADHD. We often hear about the need to be consistent, but with ADHD, not only is that hard, it can feel downright impossible. Instead, Kristen and I discuss how we can embrace our inconsistency and instead focus on being persistent.
Hey team, this week I’m talking with Dawn Barclay about her book, Traveling Different: Vacation Strategies for Parents of the Anxious, the Inflexible, and the Neurodiverse. Regardless of whether or not you have kids, traveling can be difficult when you have an invisible disability, such as ADHD.
This week I’m talking with Natalie Lue about her book, The Joy of Saying No. Natalie is the author of the popular relationship and self-esteem blog Baggage Reclaim, as well as the host of The Baggage Reclaim Sessions podcast.
With ADHD, we can often end up as people-pleasers, always putting other people’s needs above our own. And while being helpful is a great trait, we also need to make sure that we’re taking time for ourselves as well.
This week we’re going to be talking about using our tools but, more specifically, getting back into the habit after we’ve stopped using them.
Hey team, this week I’m talking with one of my favorite people Roxie Martin - In this episode, we talk about the difference between cleaning, decluttering and organizing - we get into the specifics of how we can be more effective in our cleaning, how we can better approach declutting and a whole lot more.
This week we’re going to be talking about the upcoming change to Daylight Saving Time in the US - but don’t worry, if you’re not one of those places that experience a spring time switch, there is still going to be a lot of great stuff we cover in this episode.
Hey team - this week I’m bringing you a conversation I had with Skye Rapson about burnout and boundaries.

We’re back at it for another episode about slowing down, but this time we’re looking at activation energy, which is the idea we’re going to need to have a certain amount of energy available to get started on a task.
Slowing Down: Task Management (Memory)
Hey team, this week we’re going to keep up our discussion of slowing down, but we’re going to be focusing on memory - well, kind of. With ADHD, it can be hard for us to remember all of the things that we need to do, so what comes into play is the good old to-do list.
Slowing Down: Time Management
We live a life where we only have two modes, doing nothing and super speed. It’s exhausting, and we often find ourselves missing important things because we can’t keep up that pace.
In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about how we can work on slowing down and trying to find a more comfortable middle ground between those two modes.
Important But Not Urgent (IBNU)
With ADHD we tend to like to go fast with things; we don’t want to wait around. But that’s usually not actually our best strategy. Going from one urgent task to the next can keep us motivated, but it can make it hard to get to anything that isn’t urgent.
What’s life like without ADHD?
Often when we’re talking about ADHD we’re talking about what it’s like to have ADHD, but from my stand point, well I already know what that’s like, so what would it be like if I didn’t have it?
So that the question we’re going to be looking at in this episode as well looking into the terms neurotypical and neurodivergent as well as getting into a little bit about masking.
2023
I’m excited to get going into 2023, but I also don’t want to just be doing everything by the seat of my pants, so it’s time to do a little planning and think about how we want this year to go.

Hey team, in this week’s episode, we’re going to be diving into energy drinks… well, not literally, that would be sticky… and well, that amount of caffeine would probably be lethal.
