There is a lot of misunderstanding in the world – even in the medical community  – about ADHD. If you don't live with the condition, you don't really have a grasp on how ADHD can affect your life. In this episode, I address seven common myths about ADHD and explain the true facts about this neurological condition.

In this episode, I discuss 10 benefits that travel can provide for the ADHD brain. You might think that since traveling can be stressful, it must be even more stressful for the ADHD brain. However, in my experience, there is a counterintuitive nature to travel. Rather than stressing me out even more, I find that I do far better with my ADHD symptoms when I am traveling, especially traveling internationally. 

I find that being in a new country with a different native language and new sights provides a new form of stimulation in real time that I do not normally achieve in my routine, daily life. From learning and cognitive engagement to gaining a new sense of confidence and independence, travel provides all sorts of benefits for those who have ADHD.

The popular artificial intelligence app, ChatGPT, can do a lot of great things. Including helping those who have ADHD. From generating self-care ideas to giving context to a lecture to explaining clearly how to cook salmon, ChatGPT has many uses for assisting with neurodivergence. Start with the free 3.5 version and use the suggestions I mention in this episode for how to leverage this product with ADHD.

ADHD is often stigmatized due to a broad misunderstanding of its nature in the wider culture. In this episode, I go over three common stigmas and talk about how to rethink them:

"You can't focus."
"You're lazy."
"Try harder."

All of these are fundamentally unhelpful at best and insulting at worst. Listen to this episode for my take on how you can rethink what is going on when you hear these stigmas and understand better how to see yourself.

I am pleased to have Steev Hodgson back on the show in this episode. I am starting a new series with Steev that is slated to run once per month, where we review products made specifically for people with ADHD. Steev goes through each product and either "picks" or "pans" the product based on his experience using it.

In this first mini-episode, I talk about a strategy I use to handle the difficulty of transitioning my mindset over from one plan to another when something unforeseen comes up. Transitioning from one task to another, one goal to another, or one plan to another is often difficult for those with ADHD.  Listen to hear my strategy for transitioning from one plan to another when circumstances change.

What do you do when you face a multi-step process? If you're like me, I see tasks such as cleaning the kitchen as an entire, singular task with no obvious step-by-step process underneath it. This makes chores seem daunting and overwhelming and leads to procrastination. So, I came up with a strategy some years ago: I thought download the necessary steps and then organize those steps separately. This process can be scaled up or down, applicable for everything from doing the dishes to starting a business. Listen to learn more about my strategy for handling priorities with ADHD.
