In this two-part conversation we take a deep dive into behavioural patterns and habit forming with the challenges of ADHD. We explore how behavioural science can help you peel back the layers and examine why you’re doing what you’re doing, instead of operating on autopilot. Lilly talks about: • observable vs. internal behaviour traits and why that’s an important distinction in the scientific study of ADHD • how our behaviours are learned on an unconscious level • why Lilly assesses her client’s external environment to create modifications for habit success • why emotions can also be learned behaviours • how emotional dysregulation contributes to overwhelm and executive dysfunction • how our brains create positive/negative associations unconsciously • the all important question... why we always crave junk food when watching TV • plus so much more!

Today I'm bringing you a conversation with Laura Sgro, who's a licensed therapist based in California who was diagnosed with ADHD in her late 20s. Laura and I crossed paths when she bought my ADHD planner and reached out to say how much she was loving it. We traded emails back and forth and had sooo much to talk about when it came to the female experience of ADHD and understanding the complex emotional journey that comes with being diagnosed late in life. We talk about so much good stuff, including: Laura's story being diagnosed with ADHD, neurodiversity in females compared to the stigmas and research about males Laura's thoughts about the Future ADHD planner from a therapist lens and her favourite pages De-stigmatizing labels like ADHD and neurotypical and the value of 'bridge labels' unconscious and limiting beliefs and understanding the language of our nervous system the role of shame, negative self critics and guilt when it comes to ADHD, and how to begin the journey of healing our wounded inner child even when self compassion feels impossible therapeutic modalities like EMDR, breathwork, somatic therapies, and narrative therapy that really support you as you learn more about your brain, and start to heal parts of yourself that weren't valued by society and systems in your childhood and so much more! Laura gives loads of actionable tips and wise advice from her therapeutic lens, so I hope you get lots of value from our conversation. Show notes: https://futureadhd.com/podcast/ep-4/

Our modern, industrial world has conditioned us to believe that productivity comes from consistency. It can, and for many people there's a strong link. But doesn't always. I've been exploring consistency and why it might be time to re-think society's obsession with it being the only link to success. What if being inconsistent could provide just as many routes towards achieving our goals and creating incredible things as being consistent could? Here are 4 unconventional things I've discovered by playing with being inconsistent more, and learning to work with my spontaneity and impulsivity.   Show notes: https://futureadhd.com/podcast/ep-3/ ﹌﹌ Thanks so much for joining me for today's episode... and if you're keen for more, we have a LOT of free resources on our website futureadhd.com, where you can also buy our planners and support tools.   Join 20K neurodivergents who have downloaded our planners and say that this is the first planner they've ever been able to stick with... because it's designed to work with your creative, inconsistent, divergent, non-linear brain.
