Today, we’re talking to Mindy Katz.

When Mindy learned that she and her daughter had ADHD, it led to her becoming an ADHD coach, and eventually a Social Worker. She’s a big proponent of positive psychology, and developing resiliency in our kids.

In today’s episode, we talk about how to manage our sabotaging thoughts, upward spirals of emotion, and the power of curiosity.

Alright, let’s get rolling.
