Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast Limiting beliefs can sneak in when we least expect them. And when they do, they can send us down frustrating and debilitating paths of distraction and angry self-talk. But understanding where those voices come from can help us accept them, even embrace them, and move on with our lives.  Our guest today is Michelle Chalfant. Michelle is a speaker, therapist, author, and educator and she has crafted a model for approaching the way we interact with the world that that can help you fight those voices, the limiting beliefs, and the blocks in the middle of your road. She’s also a podcaster, host of The Adult Chair with Pete elsewhere on RashPixel.FM so, yes, worlds collide today in all the best ways!

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast Today, we’re talking about the stories we tell ourselves to justify our feelings. Sometimes, they help us to rationalize our own place in the world. But most often, these stories cement in us the belief that the reason we can’t change — finish a project, move ahead at work, create fulfilling relationships — is somehow based in fact. Surprise! It’s not based in fact at all. And today, we’re going to share a way of understanding our relationship with limiting beliefs … and move beyond them! 🎓 College Coaching for ADHD Students is Now Enrolling!Starting college with ADHD?

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast This week on the show, a story of technology failure. No, it’s not the story of some tool that doesn’t work for us. It’s not the story of some new digital planner that has a bug. It’s the story of the emotional and psychological challenge that comes when one of our trusted tools breaks, and our back-up support is not available.  First, it’s a story of technology. Second, it’s a story of ADHD and the continuous surprise it offers. Finally, it’s a story of irony. If this kind of failure can happen to us, it can happen to anyone!

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast According to our guests today, over five million women go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, yet live with ADHD. While the patterns and outcomes of a life with ADHD between men and women are similar — particularly as they age — the underlying reasons and conditions for diagnosis for women are unique.  This week on the show, founders of ADHD Women’s Palooza, Terry Matlen and Linda Roggli, join us to share their experience working with adult women with ADHD. The Women’s Palooza pulls women together from around the world to serve as resources for one another; therapists, coaches, educators, and physicians.

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast This week on the show, we take on a listener question from Liz. Her challenge: Overcoming the anxiety and fear that comes with getting married and becoming a new parent, and how to navigate these experiences in the face of living with ADHD. Changes in medication, hormones, not to mention the practical realities of learning to live with a spouse all contribute to this very natural fear. Today we offer strategies to move into this fear head-on, to face it, and to seek out the support you need to beat it with confidence.

If just reading that word causes you to pause, shudder, maybe get a little squeamish, you should read on.  Today, we’re talking about paper clutter. For you, it may manifest in small piles of mail stacked on a few too many tables. It’s not so bad, you tell yourself, and you could surely catch up in no time. But if you’re living with ADHD, those few piles may never be touched again. Mail, magazines, bills, notices, they grow with inattention and the physical clutter they create leads to mental clutter, stress, and anxiety.  Not only are we talking about the issues that come with paper clutter today, we’re providing a plan and it comes in the form of a new online course: The Paper Solution. It’s an ADHD-friendly organizing system and an approach to paper designed to help you clear both the physical and mental clutter that comes from out of control paper in your life.  Thanks for joining us today.
