Episode 156 with Nelly Lin & Juno Lee. [Replay].

Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. For various reasons, I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so maybe you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. 

This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Nelly Lin & Juno Lee, which originally aired as Episode 38 in June of 2021. I discovered Nelly & Juno through their podcast Two Addys and a Coffee, Please. I listened to every episode and just fell in love with them and their friendship and their honest and vulnerable banter and all of their f-bombs, so I decided to interview them together and it was a real treat. I chose this episode because our conversation about the anxiety and perfectionism that come along with ADHD has really stayed with me, and it was really eye-opening to listen to their experiences as Asian American women with ADHD.

While they haven’t recorded an episode in quite a while, the podcast is still out there and it’s as fabulous as ever. Sincere thanks to Nelly and Juno for what they’ve put out into the world, and for the mark they’ve left on me. I trust they are both doing great things wherever they are now!

Episode 155 with Sarah Wheeler. [Replay].

Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. For various reasons, I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so maybe you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. 

This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Dr. Sarah Wheeler, which originally aired as Episode 98 in August of 2022. I chose this episode with Sarah because I think it’s probably one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve had — Sarah is hilarious and we had such a fun time. But she’s also really perceptive and thoughtful and a lot of what we discussed stayed with me, plus I got a lot of positive feedback and a lot of “me too!”s when this originally aired. 

Bonus Update:

Make sure to stick around because, at the end of the episode, I check back in with Sarah to talk about what she’s up to now, including some of her recent writings about women and ADHD, which are linked in the show notes, and some more of her brilliant observations about ADHD and neurodivergence.

Sarah’s recent articles:

“I’m A Psychologist Who Specialized In ADHD. Everything I Knew About It Was Wrong”

“A new study shows the benefits of an accurate ADHD diagnosis — so why can't women get one?”

Episode 154 with Anna Lopez. [Replay].

Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so hopefully if you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. 

This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Anna Lopez, which originally aired as Episode 29 in April of 2021. This episode was transformative for me in many ways — Anna was the first psychotherapist I interviewed for the podcast, and I had so many questions and she was game for all of them. I was particularly interested in her perspective on diagnosis and her thoughts on the recent uptick in diagnoses in adult women. Anna is so interesting and brilliant and she has so much curiosity and thoughtfulness

Bonus Update:

Make sure to stick around because, at the end of the episode, I check back in with Anna to talk about the work she’s doing now, especially her somatic therapy work. We also discuss the fact that we’ve both self-identified as autistic since our initial interview and the parallels in terms of self-diagnosis vs. formal diagnosis.

Episode 153 with Taucha Post. [Replay]

Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so hopefully if you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. 

This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Taucha Post, which originally aired as Episode 18 in March of 2021. 

I reached out to Taucha because she was on Instagram as @adhd.yoga and I wanted to talk about the benefits of yoga and mindfulness when you have ADHD — and we do talk a lot about that — but what really stayed with me after this conversation was her vulnerability as we talked about school and work and difficulties balancing multiple tasks and the different ways that has affected us in our lives. Taucha is so delightful — I instantly fell in love with her and I know you will, too.

Bonus Update:

Make sure to stick around because the end of the episode, I check back in with Taucha to get an update on her life since the original interview. Not only is Taucha a mom now, she and her husband bought a house, and she is a newly-certified ADHD coach. We talk about her decision to go into ADHD coaching and her plans for the future! I’m so excited for Taucha’s new path and for all of her future clients — she’s a real gem!

Episode 152 with Raegan Cotton. [Replay]

Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so hopefully if you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. 

This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Raegan Cotton, which originally aired as Episode 21 in December of 2021. 

Raegan had reached out to me because she had been an avid listener of the podcast and while she related to many of the stories of my more seasoned guests, she wanted to share the perspective of a 20-something who had recently graduated college, was facing independence and young adulthood and had recently been diagnosed. 

Plus, a lot of younger listeners reached out at the time to express their appreciation for this episode — and Raegan is so wise and thoughtful and insightful and adults of any age will relate to her story. 

Bonus Update:

Make sure to stick around because the end of the episode, I check back in with Raegan to see what’s changed for her since the original interview, including her advocacy and non-profit work, and what it’s been like going off her parents insurance and navigating the medication shortages in the US.

Episode 151 with Kerry Mead. [Replay]

Welcome to my Top 10 Replay series, featuring 10 of my favorite past episodes!

After reaching the milestone of 150 interviews with women with ADHD, I've been reflecting back on this anthology and decided I'd like to re-release some of the interviews that have stayed close to my heart in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the vulnerability of the conversation, or some particular nuggets of wisdom that have deeply affected my way of thinking.

I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — in the hopes that maybe you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again!

First up, my interview with Kerry Meed, which originally aired as Episode 21 in March of 2021. I think the reason why this conversation has stayed with me so much is because of how raw and openly we spoke about the trials of being a mom with ADHD, especially during the pandemic and lockdown. I found it incredibly validating and healing, as did many listeners!

Bonus Update:

At the end of this re-released episode, Kerry gives us an update on how she’s doing, how her kids are doing, how her Master’s is going, and whether she’s still writing that book. We also get into it again about the NHS in the UK and the current state of ADHD diagnoses.

Episode 149 with Emily Jankowski Newton.

“We tend to talk about ADHD likes it’s an academic issue but it’s so much more than that. If your kids aren’t struggling academically, they're probably struggling socially.”

Emily is a passionate perinatal mental health advocate, and the Director of the Climb Out of the Darkness Program with Postpartum Support International (PSI). Attending a local Climb Out of the Darkness event helped connect her with other parents, find the help she needed, and was the beginning of something incredible. A combination of treatments including talk therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes helped her recover from Postpartum Anxiety, Depression & OCD. Now Emily works tirelessly raising awareness, building community and connecting folks worldwide to life-changing perinatal mental health resources.

Emily is also the co-host of the I Am One podcast, where PSI staff and volunteers reflect on their own lived experience during the perinatal period (pregnancy + postpartum).

Emily was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 8, but was told she would outgrow it (spoiler alert: she did NOT). We talk about navigating ADHD and pregnancy and babies, as well as our experiences with perinatal depression and anxiety. We also talk about the experience of being neurodivergent parents to neurodivergent kids.

If you struggled with the transition to being a parent, or struggled with depression and anxiety with a baby or a young child, you do not want to miss this raw and deeply personal interview!

Episode 148 with Meg Casebolt.

“I went into my doctor's office and said, ‘I think I have ADHD. I printed out the checklist. I filled it out. And then I left it on my desk.’”

Meg is the founder of Love At First Search, an agency singularly devoted to helping online businesses get found in search results (like Google, YouTube & iTunes) & turn those new readers into leads, subscribers and sales. Meg loves to help business owners spend less time trying to hack the algorithms and instead creates SEO content that attracts their ideal audience to your website while helping entrepreneurs cut their dependency on social media for their business visibility.

We talk all about running businesses with ADHD, time management, and Meg’s new book. We also talk about SEO practices, digital marketing, and how to cut back or break up entirely from social media.

Also, we talk quite a bit about AI tools, so when I ask Meg what she might call ADHD, she suggested I consult ChatGPT. So, I decided to ask ChatGPT what it would call a condition based on my list of the 60 “not so obvious” traits from my “Hey, it’s ADHD!” online course.

Here are the 5 alternate names ChatGPT would give ADHD:

1. Time Perception Deficiency Disorder
2. Chronic Emotional Overwhelm and Impulsivity
3. Executive Dysfunction Hyperactivity Syndrome
4. Impulsive Focus-Attention Impairment
5. Inattentive Emotional Dysregulation

Episode 147 with Morgan Meredith.

“My therapist had me make a list of the things I love about myself and a list of things I wish I could change. So many things about me were on both lists.”

Morgan is a “gifted kid” turned ADHD entrepreneur, as well as the founder of AccountableHero, a service that helps coaches streamline their entire business into one platform and turn software frustration into confidence and ease. 

We talk all about how AI tools can be helpful for neurodivergent brains, especially ChatGPT and Goblin Tools. We also discuss her positive experiences with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for her depression.

Morgan is also the wizard behind the creation of my “Hey, it’s ADHD!” online course. She’s also a graduate of my group coaching program, and we talk all about her experience with my group coaching program and how her life has been transformed as a result.

Episode 146 with Gina Marie Rodriguez.

“I feel like I’m more ADHD than ever before because I’m just now learning how to fully be myself.”

Gina is a curly hair specialist, hairstylist, and educator in Northern California. 

Like many of my guests, Gina was always moving from one idea to the next with lightning speed and was somehow able to hold everything together and appear successful after having children and experiencing extreme bouts of depression and anxiety and the soul crushing feeling of being unable to manage it all. 

After beginning the Autism diagnosis process with her younger daughter, she started to question her own experiences and began to unravel a whole hidden interconnected web of neurodivergence in her own family.

Gina talks about her medication journey and the internal experience of what she calls “ADHD episodes.” We talk about the pressures of giftedness and never feeling like we’ve reached our potential. We also talk about unmasking after a diagnosis and embracing our eccentricities, and we talk about the science of hair and how being a hairstylist can actually be a great fit for someone with ADHD.

Episode 145 with Kay Rohloff.

“I can meet someone, hear their entire life story, and remember every single detail and still not be able to tell you their last name to save my life.”

Kay is a pastor who lives in southern Minnesota. She is also the co-host of Nerds at Church, a podcast about themes shared between the Bible and various areas of nerdery. Kay was diagnosed five years ago with ADHD, and she wrote an article for Sparkhouse about some of the ups and downs of life as an ADHD pastor and she is a moderator for a Facebook group for pastors with ADHD.

We talk all about some of the specific benefits and challenges of being a pastor with ADHD, including being held to a higher standard by their congregation. We also talk about how her diagnosis has helped her reframe her approach to her job and what support she seeks out from others, and how she’s helped several colleagues seek help and get diagnosed.

Episode 144 with Tara Breuso.

“ADHDers have such intense empathy. When I was 10, if I saw another child upset at a party, I would zero in on them and want to make them feel better.”

Tara is a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor based in Australia. She runs an online private practice working with ADHD clients, helping them to gain clarity around eating and to stop dieting and binge eating for good. As an ADHDer herself, she understands that food, eating, and weight can be a turbulent experience for people living with ADHD. Her passion is helping people with ADHD find food freedom using a scientifically proven approach.

We talk about the principles of intuitive eating and food freedom and how these concepts can often be misunderstood or rejected by people with ADHD. We also talk about common difficulties we have with feeding ourselves, including sensory issues around food, executive dysfunction around meal prep, and decision fatigue.

And we talk all about snack hacking and Tara’s beautiful printable food lists — one of them is a visual aid for combining ordinary items in our pantry, and she also has a visual shopping list and simple recipes — it’s fantastic so make sure to check them out!

Episode 143 with Caryn Gill.

“Other people say, ‘Oh, that's on my 5-year plan.’ And I think, I don't have a 5-year plan. It's now or never.”

Caryn is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders, and now ADHD thanks to her own diagnosis late last year. She currently works in private practice but has worn many hats in the past: as a clinical trainer and educator and as a music therapist working in hospitals and various clinics. She lives and works in Pennsylvania and is also licensed in CT, CA, and MO.

Caryn talks about how her diagnosis has changed her work with clients, and her choice to be open about her own diagnosis when some therapists with ADHD tend to "hide in the shadows" about their condition.

We also talk about neurodivergent anxiety and burnout and some of the root causes, and the need to develop boundaries and give ourselves space to be under-stimulated and underwhelmed in order to self-regulate and move beyond overwhelm.

Episode 142 with Vicky Quinn Fraser.

“There are bees in my brain. It's a constant buzzing and they're all flying in different directions.”

Vicky is a writer and entrepreneur who teaches misfit small-business owners how to write and self-publish amazing books. She is the creator of the Moxie Method: a framework for writing books with the power to change hearts, minds, and lives.

She’s the author of How The Hell Do You Write A Book, and for the last 10 years she has used the Moxie Method to take aspiring authors from blank page to book. 

We talk about some of the difficulties we face when it comes to getting started with large projects like book writing, and Vicky talks about some of her writing strategies and tools and tips for writers or aspiring writers with ADHD.

We also talk about the trap of “must-erbating” and discuss the nuances of motivation, inspiration, momentum, and how to use tiny beetle steps to get started.

Episode 141 with Taylor Elyse Morrison.

“My ADHD is more internal, so I would often worry I was looking for excuses or tricking myself into thinking I had ADHD.”

Taylor is a founder, facilitator, coach, and serial entrepreneur making well-being and personal development more accessible. Through her company Inner Workout and her book of the same name, Taylor supports people’s journey to know, care for, and become their full selves. 

Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she builds businesses, content, and experiences that make well-being and personal development more accessible. 

Taylor and I talk about why exactly neurodivergent brains struggle with self-care and so often end up in burnout mode. We talk about how self-concept and self-talk lead to emotional dysregulation, how to listen to our bodies and what they’re actually telling us, and the importance of community and support when it comes to self-care (and what that looks like when you have ADHD).

Episode 140 with Jennifer Salzman.

“The alcohol was dulling the anxiety and the stress, but it was also dulling the joy and the happiness.”

When Jennifer was diagnosed with adult ADHD in her 40s she realized that she had spent more than 20 years self-medicating her symptoms with alcohol. Drinking was the easiest and fastest way to shut off the constant chatter in her brain. She also discovered that alcohol abuse among people with ADHD is much more common than it is in people without the condition. 

Jennifer now coaches others to help them find freedom from alcohol, gain a new outlook on life, and improve their relationship with themselves and their neurodivergent brains. 

We talk about our own experiences with alcohol abuse, the link between ADHD and substance abuse, the dangers of mixing alcohol with stimulant medications, why AA isn’t always neurodivergent-friendly, and some of the ways we can develop healthier coping mechanisms for managing ADHD.

Episode 139 with María-Victoria Albina.

“I'm a ‘get it done now or put it in a doom box and forget about it forever’ kind of gal.”

María-Victoria is a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, a Somatic Master Life Coach, and the host of the popular Feminist Wellness podcast.

She describes her narrative as the typical “kid with ADHD” story. As a child, she was in the gifted & talented program but always getting in trouble because of “behavioral issues.” It wasn’t until she was falling behind in grad school that she was diagnosed, and like so many others say, she finally understood her non-linear thinking habits.

We talk about her winding career path from midwife to herbalist to nurse practitioner to somatic life coach & meditation guide. We also discuss somatic practices and how they can support ADHD adults when it comes to regulating our nervous systems and reconnecting with our intuition.

Episode 138 with Sara Kelly.

“The only reason this is a disability is because neurotypical standards are outside of what comes easy for us.”

Sara is an ADHD Mindset Coach from Vancouver. Despite studying mindfulness and trying countless coaching programs, she still couldn't find the inner peace and happiness she desired and struggled for years with depression, anxiety, and overwhelm. 

It wasn’t until she discovered she has ADHD and Autism that she realized traditional coaching programs with their 'just try harder' mentality wouldn't work for her, and that’s when her signature program, ADHD Mindset Mastery, was born.

We talk about how our mindsets shifted after an adult diagnosis, and how that has affected our self-esteem and self-confidence while reframing the way we view our strengths and our struggles.

⛔️ TRIGGER WARNING ⛔️ Brief talk of attempted suicide.

Exclusive Women & ADHD discount: When you book a discovery call and mention you heard Sara's episode, you'll receive $200 off your coaching package! https://www.adhdmindsetmastery.com/bookacall

Episode 137 with Michelle Swerin.

“I can't tell you how many jobs I had as a teenager. I mean, easily 20. I was never fired, I just lost interest really quickly.”

Michelle is a licensed therapist, certified meditation teacher, and certified instructional designer. She is also a neurodivergent mother of two and the founder of Create Space Health, a telehealth clinic focused on incorporating meditation into mental health therapy.

Michelle saw big changes in her own life when she began practicing meditation. Since then, she has become a certified meditation teacher and has been able to merge her clinical training and meditation experience into her practice to help those struggling with mental health challenges. She is passionate about bringing mindfulness and meditation into the clinical space, where she believes it can have a larger impact on the treatment of mental health disorders.

Michelle and I talk about ADHD-friendly approaches to meditation, and we also talk about high-functioning anxiety and the negative effects of masking, and how meditation and mindfulness therapy can help.

This interview was also recorded the day after Michelle and I hosted an Instagram Live on “Advocating for Neurodivergent Mental Health Care” — it was a fantastic conversation, so if you love today’s episode, I highly recommend you check out the recording.
