Those of us with ADHD brains know that no matter how vigilant we are, slip-ups are bound to happen, especially when sleep deprivation is thrown into the mix. We can only do so much to prevent mistakes, but we can control how we react to them. In this episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach and reformed people-pleaser, Leslie Robbins, who took an embarrassing ADHD moment and turned it into a brilliant teaching opportunity.
Like me, Leslie believes that what we pay attention to grows, good or bad, so we might as well learn to focus on the good. Besides, there's no such thing as mistakes anyway, right? We either get what we want or learn something even more important. Join us as Leslie shares her late diagnosis story, some ways to stop from spiraling into rejection-sensitive dysphoria, and the importance of not taking ourselves too seriously.

Reading is everywhere and in everything we do, but most reading curriculums taught in schools aren't aligned with the current research on the most effective way to teach reading. Kathleen Germs, a second-grade teacher and Instagram educator, is on a mission to change not just the way reading is taught, but the entire dynamic between teachers and students in the classroom–starting with asking kids what they need to learn best.
Unsurprisingly, Kathleen's students adore her because she makes learning as easy as possible and helps them feel empowered and valued in the classroom. Join our conversation as Kathleen explains how she adjusts her lessons to meet her students' needs, the importance of bringing mental health into the classroom, and how her ADHD makes her the phenomenal teacher that she is.

Hypnosis is often thought of as a sensational magic trick used for controlling minds and embarrassing people on cruise ships, so I admit I was a bit skeptical when I heard about hypnotherapy being used in ADHD management. However, I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to alternative treatments, which is why I wanted to sit down with hypnotherapist Meggie Houle to discuss the science and research behind it.
Meggie, now a certified hypnotherapist and self-hypnosis teacher, and author of "Finish What You Start: Breaking out of the 'Busy Mind, Restless Body' Trap to Create a Life You Love Even with ADHD," first discovered the benefits of hypnosis after experiencing a life-altering paragliding accident. She found that self-hypnosis not only reduced her stress and PTSD symptoms after the accident, but it also helped her manage her ADHD for the first time. In this episode Meggie gives us an introductory lesson into what hypnotherapy is exactly, the growing research behind it, and how she uses it to calm her nervous system in moments of stress.

Here's the text formatted properly:
Instagram: @authorcarolinemNew seminar starting Dec 7th: Adults with ADHD Social Skills Training: How to Get Along with Everyone carolinemaguireauthor.comFree download: Calming Intrusive Thoughts at carolinemaguireauthor.com
No matter how much we learn about our ADHD, there is always somehow more to uncover. One of my personal ADHD blind spots has always been social skills; for some reason, I was convinced that I didn't have any difficulties with social skills and had escaped this ADHD trait. That is, until social skills expert and my guest this episode, the wonderful Caroline Maguire, brought me back down to Earth when she told me the areas of social intelligence that she likes to talk about and I realized I actually struggle with every single one. Who knew!
Luckily, Caroline is the founder of a revolutionary social-emotional learning methodology that helps teach social skills to children, teenagers, and young adults, so she came ready with some helpful insights on why we struggle with things like giving TMI and hating small talk and what we can do about it while remaining true to ourselves. Her work may be designed for children--her book Why Will No One Play With Me? was awarded Best Family and Parenting book of 2020--but all of her concepts and learning materials are just as applicable to adults. In her words, "It's all the same dilemma, it's just whether or not you're 5 and you can't articulate it or you're 60 and you know darn well what's going on."
Caroline doesn't want us to change or hide who we are, rather, her goal is to help ADHDers of all ages learn how to be present in each moment in order to demonstrate the greatness that we all possess.

Many listeners and A-OK students have suggested I invite author Lisa Woodruff onto the podcast, and after this incredible conversation with her, it's clear why they were so insistent. Lisa is an author, former teacher, and parent who has spent the last 20 years researching ADHD and applying solutions to support executive functions in our home life. Not only are her ideas about home organization unique, such as organizing by the stages of life and a time-saving "Sunday Basket" system, but her approach to teaching contains so much kindness and understanding that home organization starts to feel possible.
In this episode, Lisa takes us through her systems and why they work so well for ADHDers, shares the script she taught her own children to use when they're feeling overwhelmed by where to start, and explains why we need to stop using our incredible computer brains as to-do lists. Lisa believes we should all be spending as little time as possible doing household work so we can live our unique callings in life and I couldn't agree more.

My guest this week, Juliana Hock, gives a whole new meaning to the word 'resilient'. Seriously, this woman does not give up on herself; Juliana recently fulfilled her dream of becoming a realtor after 12 attempts at the Real Estate exam. Her difficulty with written tests is something I know many ADHDers can relate to, but where many people would have given up Juliana pushed through, knowing that once she overcame the hurdle of passing that exam she would thrive in the job itself.
Juliana credits her resilience to a strong support system, a passion for everything she does, and a positive mindset, among many others. She wakes up every morning saying, "This is going to be the best day ever!" and then goes forward to make it so. My conversation with Juliana is a great reminder that prioritizing fun, passion, and self-determination is so important to living a fulfilling life.

'Intuitive eating' is a term we hear more and more these days, but in a culture where restrictive diets are king, the concept of listening to your own body may seem foreign and even "woo woo." My guest this week, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Becca King, admits that she also thought intuitive eating was pretty "woo woo" when she first heard about it, but after closer examination, she discovered that intuitive eating wasn't too out there at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite: intuitive eating helped Becca heal her relationship with food and her own body and started her on a path to help others, specifically those with ADHD, heal those relationships too.
Whether you're curious to learn more or you still need some convincing, in this week's episode, Becca will teach you the basics about intuitive eating and provide you some helpful eating tips for the ADHD brain.

In Episode #88 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy shares her personal experience with rumination. She discusses how even when you’re in your own zone of interest and genius, doing what you really love, it’s still difficult to be on even the smallest platform because you will be roundly rejected by some.
She shares insights about her critics on Reddit, information on essential oils and medication, and her biggest fear around delivering this podcast every week. Tracy also talks about how she feels about paying it forward, what it means to be a Karen, and her commitment to BLM: diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. She highlights her favorite podcast for learning how to be anti-racist and explains why you’re no different than she is, what to do when things don’t go so well, and the importance of getting back in the arena regardless.
Tracy emphasizes why what people say about you is none of your business, how ADHD women are meant to lead, and which ADHD women struggle the most.

In Episode #83 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy talks about the things you can do to increase your productivity, stop procrastinating, and just start when your ADHD brain doesn’t want to cooperate. Tracy shares her experience working with the incredible women in her Your ADHD Brain is A-OK! Program and her new discovery about ADHD women and their need to make a difference and live to their potential.
