About This Episode

I’m trying out a new solo show style this week, and I hope you love it! I’ve got a bunch of fun segments for you:

First, I tell you all about my trip to Oxford University for a conference on Trauma with some of the biggest names in the industry (Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, etc). Traveling is always a mixed bag for me – exciting and exhausting, and we dive into it all

Next, I share the resource of the week: The Brick

Then I answer listener questions! We cover these 3 topics:

How do I pack for travel as an ADHDer?
Should I go to my estranged family’s birthday party?
How do I easily manage evening time with kids? (LOL)

We dive into this research study about Adverse Childhood Experiences and ADHD.

And lastly, I go on a spicy rant about how Dr. John Delony says that ADHD is “JUST” the body’s response to chaos. Excuse me no. Get outta here with that.

It’s a wild ride today, I hope you enjoy!
