Finding That Balance

Our ADHD can feel like a weight on our backs. But what happens to you when you stop, take stock, and celebrate what is going right?

This week on the show, TCA Coach Lynn Warner joins us to discuss celebrating our Wins with ADHD. But it's not just about knowing that cakes come on birthdays. Today's lessons are about retuning your brain, training yourself to see the wins around you — big and small — and finding ways to reward yourself appropriately. This means learning new language, and seeing the world with fresh, more positive eyes.

Learn more about Lynn at TCA.

As a bit of follow-up this week, we answer a few listener questions that were originally addressed to dietitian Nicole DeMasi Malcher. Listen to the show for details, but here's the handy list of snacks we reference on the show. Thanks Nicole!

1. peanut butter sandwich or any sandwich with meat - choosing whole wheat bread will help to keep you fuller longer
2. yogurt or cottage cheese & fruit
3. pita/bread and hummus
4. tuna & crackers
5. protein bar
6. deli meat roll-ups
7. dates and peanut butter
8. roasted edamame or chickpeas
9. smoothie made with both fruit + protein
10. leftovers! (just not leftover chips!)
