Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast James Ochoa is back and this time he's brought family! You'll hopefully remember James from our conversation with him last year — author of Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD, and founder and director of The Life Empowerment Center in Austin, TX. James joins us with his son Jules, recent grad of the fine Clark University and researcher in cognitive neuroscience… and podcaster! The Ochoas are here to introduce their new podcast, The Complex, a fiction show that aims to unravel the complexities of ADHD through a cadre of eclectic tenants of an apartment.

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast We get lost with ADHD. Lost in feelings of struggle, lost in time of hyperfocus, lost in loneliness. It doesn’t take long before we build habits around the experience of negativity. But what if you were to change those behaviors and learn to celebrate the positive outcomes of even your smallest achievements? Our guest is Jennifer Kampfe, a certified ADHD coach with Fantastically Focused. Jennifer works with children, teens, college students, parents and adults with ADHD and she’s here today to talk about her program, Hearts for ADHD. She’s helping parents and coaches celebrate the strengths and achievements of kids with ADHD, and teaching them to celebrate the same in themselves!

This week on the show we’re talking all about organizing our learning — books, classes, podcasts, conferences, and more.

That’s because often the people creating the tools for you — even tools that are specifically for ADHDers — don’t actually understand ADHD themselves! Creating supporting tools for the ADHD brain is hard work, and has to be crafted for a special kind of learner. Today, Nikki has some suggestions to help you sort the good from the bad when it comes to building your ADHD support tool chest! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast We may start our days with the best intentions. We have our lists and routines, our goals and objectives that we think we’re ready to accomplish. But what happens when you’re thrown off track? What happens when that unexpected phone call delivers some bad news, or the kids get sick, or the car breaks down?  If you don’t have some accommodations in place to account for these surprises, you won’t be able to bounce back! You’ll be unconsciously sabotaging your own day. On the show this week, we’re talking about the things you can do today — and every day — to build your resilience so that you can make more of your days terrific and fulfilling!     ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
