When living with ADHD, assigning value to things that we believe are important to us can be challenging. It’s easy to underestimate the emotional weight we’re giving to something we want, which can lead to clutter, disorganization, and expense, and of course this can lead to shame and stagnation. So it’s important to get a handle on our ability to rationally think through the value you ascribe to our efforts before it gets out of hand! This week on the show, we’re talking about invented value, the value we ascribe to things that is ultimately made up, but that defines our emotional approach to them all the same!

The Accidental Q&A Episode Feb 21, 2017

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast

Today was supposed to be a Digital episode full of a discussion on the whims of our individual value systems around our processes. It was going to be great, trust us. But then we got all this great feedback from listeners and it all sort of stacked up on us. Before we knew it we were talking about a doctoral thesis in the UK, helping a partner better understand ADHD, the perils of working with the school system on a child’s diagnosis, learning to say “I don’t know,” and overcoming limiting beliefs that lead to more road trips and conquering bridge driving! These are great questions so we ended up devoting our entire conversation to it! Thanks to everyone for writing in, and look for that epic value episode coming soon!

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.

Learning to Pivot around your Limiting Beliefs Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

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!

Digital — Surrender: A Tale of Technology Failure Jan 31, 2017

Show notes

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!

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. The event occurs online from February 6-11, 2017, registration available now!

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.
