In today’s episode, we have a listener question dealing with the root cause of ADHD and whether or not ADHD comes from trauma or it's something we're born with.

Hey team! No interview today - getting back to some monologue episodes - and completely off topic here, but I just have this negative connotation to the word monologue, like, in my head it sounds like it’s supposed to be something boring?

February 05, 2024 10:00 - 27 minutes - 19 MB

Hey Team!This week we’re joined by Ying Deng, known as ADHD Asian Girl across social media. I was able to get to know Ying a bit at the recent International ADHD Conference and thought she’d be a great guest for the show.

Hey team! This week I’m talking with, Jesse Mecham, the founder of the hit budgeting software, You Need A Budget - or as it’s more commonly abbreviated YNAB - now I understand, that the term, “hit budgeting software” does come off as a little strange, but it is honestly something that has quite the cult following.

A Fresh Start (rebroadcast)

August 28, 2023 09:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MB

In just one more month we're going to be coming up on the halfway point of 2021 — I know, I have no idea how it got here either. But with this mark in time we're starting to see a shift going on - while COVID certainly isn't a thing of the past, the vaccine role out has opened up a lot of possibilities for what we want our future to look like. At the end of 2020, I did some planning for 2021, but I knew that a lot of it was going to be uncertain so I didn't make too many specific plans. Bu...

Meeting Yourself Where You're At (rebroadcast)

August 21, 2023 09:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MB

As we've been working on goals one place I want us to take a step back on and think about is meeting ourselves where we are. As we get going with our planning we tend to decide that well we want to do all of the things. And I mean why not, there are a lot of things that I want to do, if I don't start now, when am I going to start? I can't tell you how many ill-fated adventures I've started because of that whole "if not now, when?" line - there are so many things that I should be investing m...

Caffeine Deep Dive (rebroadcast)

August 14, 2023 09:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MB

Trimethylxanthine is the world's most popular psychoactive drug - for many caffeine is such a ubiquitous substance that calling it a drug seems like a misnomer. How could something so widely used that has so few regulations around it be a drug? But a drug is simply a chemical substance that affects our nervous system function and can result in changes to our perception, mood, cognition, and behavior. I feel like caffeine ticks the box pretty well on all those accounts. In today's episode, w...

Too Much (rebroadcast)

August 07, 2023 09:00 - 14 minutes - 9.67 MB

Over the last few weeks, I have hit a number of points where it all just felt like too much - now there are a number of things that have contributed to this, but one of the keys always behind when I get overwhelmed is doing too much. This is despite the fact that even when I have too much on my plate it always feels like I should be doing more. That I could squeeze in just a few more things and then… well then I’d probably also still be trying to add more things to do. In today’s episode, w...

Seasonal Planning (rebroadcast)

July 31, 2023 09:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MB

One of the ideas that I’ve been playing with lately is how to go about my planning in a more natural way or perhaps a better phrase would be functional, because while I love the idea of planning it doesn’t always work out how I want to it to. And to be clear, I don’t mean that my plans don’t work out, what I’ve been grappling with is that often when I do my planning I’ve failing to do it in a way that encompasses both my professional and personal life. I think this is an aspect of layering ...

Creativity and ADHD with Saman Kesh (rebroadcast)

July 24, 2023 09:00 - 54 minutes - 37.3 MB

Understanding the ADHD Subtypes (Rebroadcast)

July 03, 2023 09:00 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MB

When it comes to understanding our ADHD it can be a bit of a minefield to navigate - one of our most pernicious problems is that often we're never really educated in what it means to have ADHD. And to top that off, what we learn from pop-culture just reinforces stereotypes that don't really reflect what ADHD is actually about. One of the most important ways to help manage our ADHD is to accept it, but that can be really hard to do if we don't actually have a good grasp of what having ADHD m...

The Before We Get Started

June 26, 2023 11:00 - 11 minutes - 8.29 MB

Hey team, I’ve recently been thinking about task initiation a lot, but while working on the first draft of this episode, I realized that there were a few ideas that were important to explore first.

Bad Advice

June 05, 2023 06:00 - 13 minutes - 9.23 MB

With ADHD we get to hear a lot of advice on how to get past our various symptoms. Sometimes that advice isn’t so bad, sometimes it’s pretty good - I mean that’s what I’m trying to do with this podcast. But more often than not the advice we get for how to deal with our ADHD is downright bad. In this episode we’re going to be exploring some of this unhelpful advice and what makes it bad and hopefully how we might be able to turn it around into something useful. Support me on Patreon Ask me ...

How to do Hard Things - Part 3 (Rebroadcast)

May 22, 2023 09:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MB

All right, I’m back from my little break and we’re just heading right back into the hard stuff - or at least how we can start getting it checked off our to-do list. Today we’re going to be looking at some more ways that we can adjust our mindset around doing hard things and also looking at some of the reasons we might be choosing to do certain hard things. Then we’ll finish up this series by digging into a few of the more concrete things that you can do so that you can tackle those hard thi...

How to do Hard Things - Part 2 (Rebroadcast)

May 15, 2023 04:00 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MB

Last week we began this series on how to do hard things and looked specifically at how we define hard things and ways that we can work through some of our problems so that they can become more manageable. This week we’re going to be continuing that conversation but with a lens that focuses on why it can be so hard for us to even attempt to do hard things. We’ll be looking at some of the misconceptions we have about doing hard things as well looking at how acknowledging the hard things we’ve...

How to do Hard Things - Part 1 (Rebroadcast)

May 08, 2023 09:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MB

One of my favorite sayings from Brendan Mahan of the ADHD Essentials podcast is that ADHD is life on Hard Mode. The executive dysfunction that comes with ADHD makes everything just a little bit more difficult. From doing the dishes to filling out tax returns we find ourselves needing to put in more effort than our neurotypical peers. But what’s important for us to remember is that while these things can absolutely be harder for us to do, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Today we’re going ...

ADHD and the Fawn Response

May 01, 2023 09:00 - 11 minutes - 7.67 MB

Hey team, Recently when I was talking with my therapist, they mentioned that it seemed like I would frequently go into the fawn response - I was a little taken aback by this because while I felt like I’d heard of the fawn response before, it wasn’t something I was familiar with, or even could even particularly put my finger on what it was. Fortunately for me, I run a podcast where I can dive into topics and gleam a bit more understanding about things I’m interested in. While most of us ha...

Finding Your Path with Shell Mendelson

April 24, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB

 Hey team, this week I had a great conversation with Shell Mendelson, a career counselor who specializes in working with adults with ADHD. We talk about how traditional career advice often doesn’t work as well for ADHD, how we don’t want to dictate success purely on financial outcomes, the importance of deadlines, and whether or not we should consider disclosing our ADHD at work.   Support me on Patreon Ask me a question on my Contact Page Find the show note at HackingYourADHD.com/139 Thi...

The Value of Inconsistency with Kristen Carder

April 17, 2023 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

Hey team, this week I’m talking with Kristen Carder, the host of the I Have ADHD podcast - in this episode, we dive into the nitty gritty of ADHD and how advice for neurotypicals often doesn’t work for those of us with ADHD. We often hear about the need to be consistent, but with ADHD, not only is that hard, it can feel downright impossible. Instead, Kristen and I discuss how we can embrace our inconsistency and instead focus on being persistent. Support me on Patreon Ask me a question on ...

Executive Function (Rebroadcast)

April 10, 2023 09:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB

Executive function is a hot topic around ADHD - and more specifically how we often have a deficit in it. One of the trickiest parts about executive function is that there isn’t a universally accepted model of executive functions - I know that feels kind of surprising because it seems like something that is talked about as much as executive functions is that we’d have something that is generally agreed upon. So for this episode, we’re going to be focusing on Russell Barkley’s self-regulation...
