ADHD Friendly Lifestyle50: the one about talking so a doctor will listen“A weird trick to get doctors to listen to you,” by journalist Carolyn Liddell caught Moira’s eye when she was considering how to successfully raise another medical concern. People with ADHD are at higher risk of gaslighting and not receiving adequate medical support. Moira shares her journey with multiple health conditions & self-advocacy. When we can figure out what might be wrong, how do we bring it up to our doctors without offending them and be heard? Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

2023-02-1623 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle48: the one about setting the stageIt's so easy when we have ADHD to skip, jump ahead, forget or avoid any stages needed to get something done. So, we're not spending any time on what happens then! Instead, we are returning to some unfinished business from Episodes 40 and 41 to look at how preparation can help. When we set the stage for success, we consider including preparation in ways we like to increase our ease, ability and happiness. Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

2023-02-0220 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle46: the one about getting real with timeIt’s true: ADHD significantly impacts our ability to care for our needs and responsibilities and to do so on time. Today we’re talking about how to get out of that bind. Life feels lighter when we are more accurate about how long things take and what is possible in a day. Getting real with time includes questioning what doesn’t work with typical advice, how it can lower stress and overwhelm, and allow more of you in your day. It’s time to experiment with what works for us to end the fight with time. Thank you...

This includes sharing Moira’s struggle to see and accept limitations such as 24 hours in a day, and things we can do to make time awareness easier by continuing our series on ADHD & Time, following ep. 44, the one about time blindness.

Somatic WisdomS1 E30 - Community and connection as self care (even for introverts)I reflect on being relieved that political season has come to an end (mostly). Then I dive into the benefits of community and how I was reminded how important this is, especially as I had the privlege of talking with Moira Maybin and Valerie Martin. Community and connection are valuable to our wellbeing, even if we are introverts. We are wired for connection and we need to reach out when we are lonely. I talk about one response to stress as the "tend and befriend" impulse, rather than the usual ones: flee, fight, or freeze....
2022-11-1012 minSomatic WisdomS1 E29 - Evening focus, work cycles, and hybrid daysThis episode is on the energetic cycles we experience in a day. I recorded in the evening, at a time I'm much less focused. I want to keep it real in letting you peak behind the curtain in terms of a less energetic time for me. My focus med has worn off, and even reading a script and sticking to the plan feels harder. A recent medicine shortage put me into a bit of a tailspin. Thankfully, I didn't have to use caffeine as a substitute for too long, since that's hard on my adrenal system.

2022-10-2430 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle42: the one about doing my bestMoira has an impromptu end of season 1 message for you. Not getting to a softball game on time, so many thoughts, feelings, and unrealistic expectations, and how that connects to ADHD, time management, and podcasting, are all fair game today. Moira needed to take a moment, take stock, have a reality check, get honest, be compassionate, and come up with a plan to continue with her day. That’s not even all of it—it was a busy 9 minutes!

With ADHD it's also easy to forget hard-won insight and knowledge, a personalized insiders' guide captures that. Moira shares breaking down what needs to be done, and having what needs to be on hand—to really do the things. Not sure if you are ready for that? She covers what to do if you are dipping your toe into the waters or are on a deep dive like her—when...

2022-04-1404 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle40: the one about slowing down to speed upGetting started, continuing, and finishing are more complex with ADHD. Time and energy are limited supplies too. Trying harder or giving up aren't the only solutions. Slowing down to speed up has short- and long-term benefits. Continuing her progress with one particularly hard task, Moira discusses reducing effort and stress levels by creating ADHD friendly routines we like and work for us. Slowing down (and not refilling it with something else) creates capacity, effort, and time to develop our methods, then we speed up. Not by wiping the slate clean but by drawing from many convenient resources.
2022-04-0728 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle39: the one about hurdlesExpect delays. Time blindness, resistance, procrastination, perfectionism, and indecision are hurdles that can cause slowdowns, stumbles, or create roadblocks. It’s even harder when we don’t see them. Tired of stumbling between hurdles and roadblocks Moira shares how she’s easing the discomfort just enough to make it easier to lower or clear the hurdles.

2022-03-3127 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle38: the one about being consistently inconsistentMoira’s talking about ways to see and measure growth when it’s hard to notice or even recognize. With ADHD one thing we can consistently count on is inconsistency. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Two steps forward and one step back is still forward. It does take us in the direction we want to go. Moira once again lets us into her life sharing a brief writing activity, her ADHD metaphor—a horse named Mabel and taking an ADHD friendly approach to change (aka an inconsistent one) that surprisingly, made a big difference. It has made...
2022-03-1726 minADHD Friendly Lifestyle37: the one about a dopa menuIf ADHD is more about losing interest and motivation than it is about attention and concentration what does that mean for living with ADHD? Everyone uses dopamine for motivation, experiencing pleasures and rewards, but it works differently in ADHD brains. Understanding our dopamine differences and what our options are can help us on one level--to feel good and have more fun, on another it could be life-changing to be able to know what to do when we need more dopamine to get and stay motivated or ways to deal with being overstimulated. We are going to explore the idea o...

ADHD reWired416 | When I'm 64 with Lorri HollingsworthIn this episode, Eric is joined by Lorri Hollingsworth who was officially diagnosed with combined-type ADHD about two-and-a-half years ago at the age of 64, having reached retirement without suspecting any neurodivergencies. Yet, she always felt herself to be the "misfit" given the expectations set by friends, family, coworkers, and society at large, and forever assumed the role of "Inadvertent Perpetrator" with all the guilt inherent therein. Lorri will share her journey shaped by the absence of an ADHD diagnosis in early childhood, which inevitably led to numerous comorbidities over the decades, as well as the never-expected hope that she now ex...

We can’t care for others if we are spent. If we want to parent well, then we need to know how to care for ourselves. Moira discusses what helped with how, when, and where things were hard for her that led to taking better care of herself and her family. She also reminds those who aren’t tired, exhausted parents what we can do to help all of us suffer less.

2022-01-111h 08ADHD Friendly Lifestylethe one about compassionHi, I’m taking a little time off and will be back with new episodes in January. I’m sharing an episode from the archive that builds upon the latest episodes. Today we’re discussing how self-compassion improves our ability to get started, deal with challenges, keep going and get along with others. We’ll be talking about proven strategies, and ideas. They won’t prevent us from making mistakes, but when we do, and we treat ourselves with compassion, the cost is not as high-- because yup, Self-compassion also reduces stress, self-criticism, and makes our life more ADHD Friendly.
