134 | Discovering You Are Enough This Week’s Guest: Jo Meleca-Voigt is an accomplished school teacher, wife, runner, social activist, and travel consultant. Jo was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45. I invited Jo to come on the podcast since she is just now starting her ADHD journey. In this conversation, you will hear some of Jo’s thoughts as she starts her ADHD journey. She shares how she is documenting everything. Jo was named “Teacher of the Year” in a district with over 1,000 teachers and she shares some of her thoughts on teaching and learning strategies. For years, Jo has been an advocate for same-sex marriage. She shares her opinions on the similarities between being gay and having ADHD. On days when Jo feels like she’s having more difficulty with ADHD, she is more self-conscience in one-on-one conversations. These situations bring her a lot of stress and anxiety. In the hot-seat portion of this discussion, we dig deeper and come up with some strategies that Jo could implement to help herself in these situations. Connect with Jo Meleca-Voigt!

133 | Free to be ADHD This Week’s Guest: Brandy Wynn is a self-identified marketing maven in-the-making. Diagnosed at the age of 30, now at 40, she’s enjoying her freedom from the box. In this conversation, you’ll learn what “freedom from the box” means. Brandy has been an entrepreneur from an early age. You will hear her describe her life and entrepreneur journey. As a student in her 40s, Brandy describes why she is pursuing her MBA, despite the popular opinion that entrepreneurs don’t need to achieve this level of education. She also shares her experience with advocating for herself in the world of education. When Brandy sits in the hot-seat, we look at her strategies in her education. In this discussion, I suggest that Brandy outsources will-power via Kitchen Safe. I also suggest she use Waze. Brandy shares some insight into her personal views on ADHD, and in particular, her brand of ADHD. In describing her “freedom from the box”, she talks about being comfortable in your own skin. This leads to a discussion on “people first” language and how individuals might prefer to describe themselves and their diagnosis. Connect with Brandy Wynn

She introduces herself as a “second chance enthusiast positive change facilitator.” Her work includes helping over-40 individuals turn the “maybe somedays” into “today”. Liz was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, after her son pointed out that she had a lot of the symptoms. In this discussion, we start off by looking back on Liz’s ADHD journey. She talks about what her life was and how ADHD impacted areas of her life, specifically in her first marriage. It was actually ADHD reWired that helped Liz realize that she needed structure and medication to get her ADHD in check and live the life she wanted. She shares some of her strategies, including KanbanFlow. Liz balances her personal work, including her podcast, Midlife Schmidlife, but she also does virtual support work. Balancing these two spheres and going from task to task is a challenge for Liz.

128 | How to ADHD with Jessica McCabe This Week’s Guest: Jessica is the creator and host of the How to ADHD YouTube Channel. Jessica has ADHD herself, and discovered that medication is only part of the solution. Jessica created her first show as an ADHD toolbox. This was a friendly mix of useful tips and techniques that she shared based on her research and her own personal experience. Jessica says, “I make mistakes so you don’t have to.” Jessica provides her 10,000+ subscribers with new episodes every Tuesday. Jessica’s background in acting helps make her videos compelling and pretty clever. Reach Jessica McCabe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/howtoadhd Twitter: @HowToADHD
Jessica talks about her struggle (and unexpected success) with consistency in producing videos for the How to ADHD YouTube Channel. One thing that makes her feel comfortable in this area is the level of forgiveness in the ADHD community. People within the community appreciate the authenticity and we like to see that others struggle with the same things that we do. Jessica shares that some individuals find that she speaks too quickly, yet some appreciate the way that she speaks because they struggle with people that talk slowly. This illustrates that point that no matter what you do or how perfectly you do it, you’re not going to be for everybody. Jessica does get some feedback that ADHD is a serious topic and “no laughing matter.” She sees the seriousness of this topic, which is why she researches so much to try help things, but if you can’t laugh, it just gets too depressing. Jessica illustrates the humor of ADHD by telling a story about burning her face with a steamer. Jessica was a productive student in elementary school and chose to always have her nose buried in a book. She believes she enjoyed reading so much because she was bored by reality. When she entered Junior High, the added responsibilities of daily school life and independence magnified some of these ADHD symptoms. She was provided with medication and that was the only treatment, so she wasn’t learning how to manage her life. Jessica shares that she almost called the show “How not to ADHD” because she had a better idea of what NOT to do. Her boyfriend pointed out that might not be the best name and she’s glad she listened. This leads into a discussion on relationships. Jessica has a relationship history that she calls “not a pretty thing” and points out that this area of life one that does not get discussed enough in the overall ADHD discussion. She was always “good” at new relationships. Things were exciting and new. As those things changed and things weren’t as new and exciting, she would blame the boredom on the relationship. This is not an easy thing for Jessica to discuss, but this is important and worth sharing. When starting her current relationship, she was very honest about her bad choices in previous relationships. As an actress, Jessica struggles with memorizing lines and she has found some tools to help herself in this area, including an app. She also feels that being put on the spot is the best way to remember lines. Nobody wants the embarrassment of not remembering lines and this is a strategy that works for her. She also did a series on tricks to help improve working memory. Simply reading material is not the best way to learn. Jessica also shares how she’s used the Mind Palace strategy. She points out though, that not every strategy works for every person. A strategy that works for a person isn’t guaranteed to work every time. It’s about having a tool box with different strategies that you can implement. Jessica also talks about her struggles with to-do lists. She’s currently excited to use the app Epic Win. We challenge her to open her to-do list and share some of the overdue tasks on her list. As it turns out, correctly identifying the type of task something is actually helps with accomplishing the task and completing it. Another alarm that might help with accomplishing tasks is Freaky Alarm. Throughout this discussion, she realizes her resistance to these types of tools. She is afraid of being “boring” through routine.

127 | Running Routines and the Drive to Be a Better Dad
This week’s guest, Andrew Wilcox is the creator of “Eat Live Dream ADD”, a blog about his experiences living with ADHD. It explores topics such as routine, exercise, running, health & wellness, motivation, fear, acceptance, self-loathing, sex, emotions, adult tantrums, relationships and parenting. Andrew is married and a father of three and the only person in his home diagnosed with ADHD. He was diagnosed at age 5 and took Ritalin on and off for most of his life until he was 28 and made the decision to regulate his ADHD through coffee, exercise and routine.
Medication: Having been diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and having to take medication to manage it left a big impression on Andrew and his views towards medication. He tells the story of how he was shamed by a teacher in front of his whole class for failing to understand a math problem and then thrown out of class when he retaliated. Being singled out for being different from his peers and constantly being judged for it made him make the connection that medication was bad. After suddenly quitting medication at the age of 17, his life began to take a downward spiral until a friend intervened and had an honest conversation with him. His father offered him a place to stay and to get him back on medication. Recognizing this as “fork in the road moment”, he got back on medication and began to piece his life together. Today it has been 7 years since he has given up medication in favor of managing ADHD through exercise, coffee and a routine. He has at this time, made the conscious decision that while medication can be effective for some individuals, he will choose a different path to regulating his ADHD. Regarding medication, Andrew believes that just as it is important to wean yourself off medication when you decide to stop taking it, it is important to get back on it gradually. He also believes that our bodies will take some time to adjust to the dosage and not giving up during this transition period is key to making the medication work for you.
Routine: According to Andrew the hardest thing about staying on an exercise routine is (1) allowing yourself to have an “off” day where you choose to do a less intense version of your regular workout (2) stop beating yourself up when you do break the routine and instead channel that frustration into your workout when you get back into it.
Coaching: In the coaching segment of the show, Andrew talks about how in the face of a stressful situation he is likely to react poorly and he would like to work on keeping this reaction in check. An example of this situation is when Andrew is trying to get his two daughters to bed. How can he keep himself from letting stress takeover in such a situation? Eric gave him the following strategies to help manage this:
Andrew will follow up with Eric in 2 weeks to talk about how he is using these strategies to manage his stress reaction.

126 | Emotional Distress Syndrome Emotional Distress Syndrome Emotional Distress Syndrome, discovered and coined my James Ochoa himself. James had training working with people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In time he saw similarities in some of his clients and the people with PTSD with one exception. For some, it wasn’t going away. Some of his clients, were not getting better in the way people with PSTD generally did. These clients of his suffered from the exact same thing:
He determined that for these people he would have to rebuild their internal sense of self. EDS is manageable and treatable thanks to the work James is doing. Coaching Session James has difficulty being consistent with singular systems. He tries many things such as post-it notes, phone apps, etc. He prefers to write things down. Currently has four systems and he is not able to follow through with any of them. He finds himself not having enough time. Eric has James scrounge up a pen and paper to write the following
James was excited and eager to begin using this system when he left the show.
About James Ochoa James Ochoa is on a mission. In a way he always has been. He was born the seventh of eight children in Houston, Texas and almost immediately began to feel the faint hum that all ADHD sufferers feel. It would be safe to say that his journey to find answers for his issues began as early as is humanly possible. Then, at the age of four, he had a traumatic accident that would alter his life forever. While playing on his parent’s car, he fell, hitting his head on the concrete. After the doctors examined him they were not hopeful, and everyone prepared for the worst. While in the hospital, James had what he describes as his first spiritual experience, one that he can still recall with great clarity and emotion. His father had been in Vietnam working a construction job, and he took a leave from his contract to come visit James in the pediatric ward of their local hospital. As his father walked toward him, James remembers seeing a blue orb-like structure above his bed. In his mind, this was a sign and he knew it immediately. His father didn’t see the blue orb, of course, but James remembers that he was stunned to hear James announce, “Dad, I’m not gonna die. I’m here for a reason.” As it turned out, many decades would pass before James truly understood what that moment and that proclamation meant. In fact, it mostly eluded him until the summer of 1989 when he was working at an ADHD summer program for kids. “It was total chaos,” he says. “But the lights and intrigue that these kids came to the table with was like…Oh my God, they’re brilliant and we’re not seeing it.” He immediately recognized his calling and resolved to spend his life trying to find answers for himself and others. For almost two decades, now, he has done just that. His work with patients and extensive personal study of the neuroscience of ADHD has allowed him to find answers that work. His new book Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD is just the latest mile on a many-long miles journey he is on. His discoveries and success in his own life and with his patients have made him a much in demand speaker these days. James lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Edie. They have two sons, Gabe, 25, and Jules, 20. How to Reach James Web Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheLifeEmpowermentCenter/?fref=ts Twitter @adhdinsights

125 | Success Despite ADHD
Hello everybody. Tom Nardone here, This week, we had the pleasure of speaking to Dan Spears. Dan learned of his ADHD as a result of the problems it was causing in his marriage. This episode hit especially close to home for me. Dan saw a therapist in the fall of 2015. He was diagnosed and given a prescription. The therapist he was seeing at the time recommended he read, “Driven to Distraction” which was somewhat helpful. While the book spoke of helping with strategies, it was the emotional side of things that presented the biggest challenges in his life. Dan speaks of his experience with procrastination, accountability and memory. These issues have caused problems for him, and consequently for his wife in their communications with one another. Dan cannot recall the simplest of things to memory when his wife engages him, in what should be a normal conversation. He has trouble not just remembering names, but entire events of which he was a part of. He often has only vague memories of things they have done or places they have been to. Those of us with ADHD know this feeling all too well. Our inability to focus on the things we are doing, prevents us from being able to recall them later. This causes those who know and love us to feel like we are not interested in them or in the things they say to us or do with us. This is not just a problem with our families. We struggle at work where forgetting something can present a completely different set of problems. We see the so called “regular people” and wonder how they seem to master interactions and tasks with little to no effort. We wonder what they have that we do not. We ask ourselves, “Is it something we will ever learn?” We ask ourselves, “How to they do this without having to look for a strategy” For many of us, this is where we begin to feel inferior or not good enough. Those of us with ADHD will usually take one of two paths. We will simply give up or mentally check-out and accept defeat, or we will seek the help of a professional. Thankfully Dan Spears has chosen the latter. Dan works in IT and a big part of his job is preparing time sheets. This is very important because it is the way they ensure that clients are billed properly. This is where Dan struggles the most. He has tried many different methods to achieve this but nothing has worked for him in the long term. We invite you to listen as Eric discusses solutions and helps Dan not only develop new strategies, but leaves him with a genuine enthusiasm about their implementation on this 125th episode of ADHD reWired.
Bio: Dan Spears
Dan is a 36-year-old native of Liverpool, England, who unfortunately does not sound like one of the Beatles. He immigrated to the US in 2005, landing in Texas, then ventured north to Ohio in 2010, where he lives with his wife, 3 step-children, and 2 cats and according to Dan, a rabbit that hates him.
Dan was finally diagnosed with ADHD in 2015. Stay tuned to ADHD reWired for follow-up sessions with past guests who have allowed Eric to help them and keep up with their progress. Hey!

124 | 5 Ways to Crush Procrastination
124 | 5 Ways to Crush Procrastination
This week, Eric and the staff at ADHD reWired welcome back one of our fan favorites. Alan Brown returns to discuss “5 ways to Crush Procrastination”. Productivity knows few if any greater foes than procrastination. This can manifest itself as a feeling of being stuck. Sometimes, even though we want something to be completed, our lack of ability to focus on one thing prevents us from even starting the task or project. Today, Alan brown will show us that when you have a big meal to eat, it is best to devour it in a series of courses instead of a single bite. Alan speaks of a cycle of procrastination.
If you have had the pleasure of ever seeing Alan Brown’s award winning ADD Crusher videos you may remember hearing Alan say: “YOU ARE JUST KICKING YOUR OWN A$$”
Alan’s method of crushing his procrastination is primarily achieved through his asking himself specific questions. For example, Alan will ask himself, “Are any of my to-do’s a problem right now?” Sometimes the things we believe to be the most critical have the least amount of significance in the end. Alan helps us by offering methods to determine what is truly important and how to attack these tasks.

123 | 5 Principles of a System Marina Darlow There are many people with ADHD, who aspire to be entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur requires a focus on many areas. Creativity, management, products and projects to name a few. People with ADHD have difficulty with some of the tasks that are necessary to keep it on track. Many people are so overwhelmed with the smallest things. However, this is often where the majority of their time is spent. Without systems and strategies in place it can be near impossible for the entrepreneur with or without ADHD to succeed. It would be nice if there were professionals who focused on the needs of ADHD entrepreneurs. If only there were people whose job it was to develop and help implement real useable strategies catered to the challenges of people with ADHD who want to succeed in business. Well, those people do exist. ADHD reWired is proud to introduce such a person. Meet Marina Darlow as she joins Eric Tivers in the ADHD reWired virtual studios. Marina Darlow works with creative people to help them develop strategies and methods for freeing up time that allows them to focus on what is really important. Marina got into this because she wanted to make the world a less violent place. After she came to the realization that she did not want to be a field agent with the CIA. She worked as a project manager for several non-profit corporations and then she became a Systems coach catering mostly to those with ADHD. Marinas “Five Principals of a System” are:
COACHING SESSION Marina puts her career in Eric’s hands as she confides in him about an upcoming challenge. Marina has to make contacts and reach out to some venture capitalists.

122| Making Friends with Adult ADHD
Please join us as we welcome Alex Hofeldt back to the show. Some of you may recognize him from the Beautiful Dust Specks Podcast. This week Eric and Alex discuss the effect ADHD has on Making friends and social situations, such as remembering names, conversation, and general awkwardness. For people with ADHD, life can be very difficult when in social situations. This is even more so the case in small to large groups of people. We cannot expect everyone we know and interact with to factor our “condition” into everything we say think or feel. People are generally impatient when it comes to these things and for those who are interested in fitting in, this can be a very disheartening circumstance. Forgetting names is common and people can sometimes feel they are not regarded highly enough by you for you to take the time to actually remember their name. Blurting out can be considered rude in that it is generally taken as an interruption. Sometimes people with ADHD are just different and therefore misunderstood. This can even be the case with other people with ADHD. Those of us with ADHD do tend to stand out and it can be frustrating when one day our peers depend on us for entertainment and the next day just can’t seem to deal with us. Some of us have been in a similar circumstance when we are treated as the court jester among our “friends”, as if we are there for the sole purpose of their amusement when they want us to perform. Eric Tivers (host of ADHD reWired) was kind enough to try to help Alex with his specific problems in this area. Alex mentions many of the problems as stated above and goes further with some more specific things. Eric offered Alex what I felt was some really sound advice. It was not just general tips we have all heard before. It was catered to his specific problems, which is what an ADHD coach should always do. Alex was kind enough to agree to come back on the show to discuss how his problem has changed as a result of the coaching Eric provided him. Please stay tuned to ADHD reWired for the follow-up with Alex.
On a personal note: “During this episode I found myself able to identify with Alex. I felt and still feel a strong empathy for him. I was reminded of the being in similar situations during certain times in my life. Alex held nothing back and was very forthcoming in the things he shared. I am happy to know the ADHD community has a person like Alex in it. His honesty was inspiring and I was reminded of the reason for my own commitment to spread awareness about one of the most treatable mental disorders we know of.” T.

Aaron mentions, “Sometimes the voice in our limitations is louder than the voice in our dreams” Aaron was also kind enough to discuss some secrets from his book. One of which, is “The Commitment Compartment”. The place where all the things we are going to do are kept. This was a fantastic show and it was just a lot of fun listening to Aaron who is such a normal guy who was and is achieving extraordinary things.

Episode 18 | Could it Be Bipolar Disorder Be Bipolar Disorder
Could it Be Bipolar This Week on Episode 118 of ADHD rewired we are joined by Dr. Roberto Olivardia. Eric and Roberto discuss the many of the ways we can determine if our ADHD is our only passenger. ADHD and Bipolar disorder are very commonly misdiagnosed. Roberto shared with us some amazing statistics.
Dr. Olivardia shared many important facts about Bipolar Disorder.
Dr. Olivardia stressed the importance of getting a proper diagnosis. Many clinicians know little to nothing about ADHD and it is best to get a mood disorder expert. Dr. Roberto Olivardia is a Clinical Instructor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School and Clinical Associate at McLean Hospital. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Lexington, MA, where he specializes in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), executive functioning issues, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). He also treats the various issues that accompany learning disabilities, such as stress and negative self- esteem. He is co-author of The Adonis Complex, a book which details the various manifestations of body image problems in men. He has taught courses at the University of Massachusetts Boston and Boston College. He has presented at many talks and conferences around the country. He is on the Scientific Advisory Board for ADDitude Magazine, a publication serving the needs of individuals with ADHD and Learning Disabilities.

Episode 117 | David Goodman This episode could easily have been called “Helping Your Doctor Understand ADHD Part II”, and may still be pending approval. This week Eric managed to track down Dr. David Goodman. Dr. Goodman is widely known in his circles for publishing a 50 page book, consisting of mostly tables to help clinicians diagnose and treat patients. Eric Tivers refers to this as the cliff notes for ADHD. Dr. Goodman sites three types of physicians:
The most amazing thing I heard from this episode was the fact that ADHD is the most researched conditioned all of medicine and this is according to the Scientific Council of the American Medical Association. Eric Tivers and Dr. Goodman then speak about a host of other topics including:

116 | Helping Your Doctor Understand ADHD
ADHD reWired is proud to have Dr. David Pomeroy join us in the virtual studio. Dr. David Pomeroy founded Brain Health NW in 2005. He is a Family Medicine physician with over 25 years of office practice experience, with the intent of providing thorough evaluations and holistic medical treatment for Attention Deficit Disorders and mood disorders in children, teens, and adults. Mission Statement: “The mission of Brain Health NW is to provide compassionate, informed and up-to-date high-quality care to individuals and families affected by behavioral, psychological or psychosomatic disorders. This was a very unique show in that Eric and Dr. Pomeroy discuss issues surrounding ADHD at the Clinical level. To be clearer, Eric tailors his questions to doctors who may not me up on the Latest ADHD research need to know. There is a problem in the medical community surrounding not just ADHD but mental illness. 15 minute monthly appointments in many cases. This sort of drive by delivery of patient care is just not satisfactory. Another problem is fear. Many doctors are fearful of lawsuits resulting from medication. They when through a host of different medications and discussed side effects, effectiveness and criteria for subscribing them. Dr. Pomeroy has had extraordinary success by monitoring and testing and re-testing. This show is a must hear for Doctors. If you have a doctor with whom you are friendly, We here at ADHD reWired would encourage you to share this show with them.

115 | Your Weight is Not Your Fate
Sam Lomeli is a hero to many people prom the ADHD community and may not even be aware of it. Sam is certainly a hero of mine. Sam grew up being picked on and was the butt of many jokes. Sam was overweight (like Eric was) through the years he spent in school. It was Sam’s calling to ultimately be a champion for people he would meet much later in life. Sam began his crusade by volunteering at charitable organizations such as: The Salvation Army and The Special Olympics. His biggest accomplishment was his volunteering to build wheelchair ramps for disabled veterans and non-veterans who could not get in or out of their homes. He has built over 250 wheelchair ramps for people without the ability or means to have them any other way. Today Sam helps people believe that they can lose weight like he did. While speaking to his wife Kristen, he ran the idea of a podcast by her. She told him she never saw her light up like he did when he talked about helping other people, and so the “Tips of the Scale Podcast” was born. Eric and Sam discuss these things in depth at the beginning of the show and then get more into the psychology of people who are overweight. Sam mentions he has found so much of a person’s self-worth is tied to their own perception of their appearance. Sam talks about the things people tell themselves about what their self-worth is. His clients feel like their value is determined by their looks and achievements. He further states that these same people have a tough time when asked when is the last time you remember being happy. They believe that to be happy they must obtain the validation of those who judge them, or of those people who do not struggle with being overweight. Sam teaches his clients their happiness comes from them feeling good about themselves. Sam is truly a hero if ever I have heard of one. He has made a career of helping people who are seemingly unable to lose weight and/or feel good about themselves alone. We hope you listen and learn more about Sam and about the “Tips of the Scale” podcast. To contact Sam: Website: Follow him on twitter: To join the ADHD reWired Coaching and Accountability Group go to

Super Amazing Awesome Pants Scholarship Fund http://erictivers.com/awesomepants
A member of the most recent ADHD reWired Coaching & Accountability Group is paying it forward.
After Jessica’s ADHD diagnosis, she spent years trying to learn as much as possible about her condition and tried every strategy she came across with little success. Despite all her efforts, she continued to have trouble keeping up at work and home, and believed that she simply needed to work harder and longer. She would regularly wake up at three or four in the morning to try and get caught up, yet fell further and further behind. She was mad that things were so hard, angry that she had ADHD, and was looking for the missing piece of the puzzle that would allow her to get her work and home life under control. While listening to the ADHD reWired podcast, she heard about the Coaching & Accountability Group and knew it would be a game changer.
Jessica was determined to find success and thought that participating with an intensive group coaching program would provide her with the tools she needed to meet her goals. She felt the frequent meeting times, supportive accountability, and productivity tips might be the only way she would ever achieve inbox zero.
Despite understanding how helpful this group would be, she knew she simply couldn’t afford it. It wasn’t until her Grandfather passed away and unexpectedly left her with a generous inheritance that she was able to use his gift to invest in herself. And she did, by joining the ADHD reWired Coaching & Accountability Group.
After the group finished, I spoke to Jessica about her 10 week experience. What she shared with me was amazing.
Jessica joined the group because she desperately needed help with her productivity. She thought the missing piece of the puzzle would be strategies, techniques, and technical know-how to get to inbox zero. But after 10 weeks, she found that that the biggest benefit was something totally unexpected; she learned to accept herself and her ADHD. She learned that the missing puzzle piece was being kind to herself, and for the first time in her life, showed herself kindness.
Jessica did improve her productivity. She even hit inbox zero once. But the improvements she saw extended far beyond her daily work. She drastically improved her sleep. She even reported that there have been significant improvements in her marriage. But to Jessica, learning to accept her ADHD was the greatest benefit of all. And that, she said, was really unexpected.
Jessica is now eager to pay it forward. With her gift of $1400, we will be awarding two $700 Scholarships to two people who like herself herself, are highly motivated to do the work to get their ADHD reWired, but are not able to make the investment.

Episode 113 | Markers for ADHD
Dr. Brown and Eric Tivers began the 113th Episode of ADHD reWired by discussing “Cookies and Accountability”. It was a great story about Dr. Brown and his wife and the temptations of a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Eric got a lot of information out of Dr. Brown and this show will most likely call for a second or possibly third listen to get it all. 2 conditions under which those with ADHD do well.
Most ADHD people have no problem focusing on tasks they are interested in or tasks for which they are afraid of consequences.
Dr. Brown went through the 6 different markers he looks for when diagnosing and during treatment of his ADHD patients.

Episode 12 Improvement through Improv Rachel Hamilton is currently attending the ADHD rewired accountability group with Eric Tivers and 11 other people. We are fortunate she was able to take time to be with us this week to share her story. Rachel was diagnosed with ADHD not long ago. She was at the Burning Man event when a friend of hers offered her a Ritalin. Rachel is now aware of the repercussions of taking ADHD meds recreationally, but nevertheless she did indulge years ago, and it had a profound effect on her. After taking a Ritalin she felt organized and together. Things just felt right and she had an unfamiliar awareness she had never before experienced. This made Her curious and she began to learn more about ADHD through the reading of books and articles. Rachel tells of the fact that nothing has been a bigger eye-opener for her then the interactions she has had with the others in the ADHD reWired Coaching and Accountability Group About Rachel Rachel began teaching almost twenty years ago and she feels passionately that Improv skills are great training for both theater and for life. Her teaching style is upbeat and nurturing – she creates a safe space where everyone can feel safe and supported, and where everyone can do their best work.

110 | A Healthier Relationship with Medication guest Stephen Tonti
Stephen’s primary focus is writing and directing for film and various other multimedia projects. On top of being a film director, Stephen also tours as a public speaker advocating for men and women diagnosed with ADHD. In 2013, Stephen was selected for the Carnegie Mellon University TEDx Student Speaker Competition. He gave his first speech on the subject there, in front of over 700 fellow students, professors, and various educators. His talk is on YouTube and has gathered almost 680,000 views to date. Stephen is yet unsigned, but will begin giving an updated version of his TED talk on tour later this year. Stephen graced the ADHD reWired virtual studio this past January. Stephen is quite a character. Stephen, like many ADHD people is quite stubborn, to the tune that he while having an argument with his girlfriend about whether he was ADHD or simply had ADHD, he proceeded to give a public talk to further affirm his point of view. This lead to the end of that relationship. Stephen has since grown in his knowledge of ADHD. Once believing that medication was only a last result for adults only, he now does not advocate one way or the other. Stephen states that medication alone is no guarantee of success, and that medication too often gets the credit. Stephens’s ADHD life philosophy is:
DISCOVER Discover it exists UNDERSTAND Understand and research to find out what ADHD is. Get the whole picture ACCEPT ADHD is real. You have ADHD. ADHD is not made up SSUPPORT Get support for your ADHD. Support others who have ADHD. Give ADHD. Avoid shame at all costs!
Today it is quite normal to see and/or hear Stephen Tonti talking to himself. That is talking to himself out loud. He does this even if others are around. There is no need to be frightened this is just one of his own methods he uses to coach himself. If you would like to contact Stephen you can reach him at |

It is the very lovely, very playful, and Returning Guest, Dr. Kirsten Milliken gracing the virtual studios of ADHD reWired for her second appearance since episode 26. Eric and Kirsten discuss her new book “PLAYDHD”. She wrote this book three times so that we could read it once. Kirsten and Eric discuss the book and a very wide array of topics, including:
Dr. Kirsten Milliken takes a unique approach to treating ADHD as she combats this with play. She explains those of us with ADHD as we go through our daily routine do so with less dopamine than other neuro-typical individuals. While many of those with ADHD use a variety of things to deal with their own challenges, perhaps there are alternatives to the methods commonly employed. As is always the case with which Kirsten is associated, this episode is no different. Kirsten discuses some of “The players” from her book. The Joker This is the most primitive. This might be the class clown, or anyone who is constantly seeking attention The Explorer The explorer is in a constant search for what else might be out there. Perhaps not content with things the way they are currently in their lives. Others include the performer, and the collector. You will just have to wait until April 1rst to see the category into which you fall.

ADHD ReWired Episode 108. Meet Shelly Collins Shelly has been organizing businesses, homes, and people since 2011 She does what she loves for a living every day. “Organizing is a means to an end: being organized gives me the time, room, and clarity to live a life I love.” Shelly Collins Hear from Shelly: I have a great sense of humor. I hope you do, too. Organizing doesn’t have to be scary or depressing. I love laughing my way through a session with my clients. It makes the time pass quickly and makes the work seem fun! That doesn’t mean you won’t have a bad day or a tough session, but I’ll be there to help support you so we can get back to laughing through our sessions. Organizing can be fun. I promise. Yes, I am a real person! A really real, really non-judgmental person. My house gets messy too. Sometimes my office looks like someone set off a paper bomb. I truly believe that sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes on your space when you are too overwhelmed to organize on your own, which is why I occasionally call in reinforcements by hiring an organizing colleague to help dig me out of my own mess. Clients often ask me if they are the worst case I’ve ever seen. Honestly, there is no worst – you are an individual and your situation is unique. I can assure you, though you may look at your space and only see clutter, I’m busy thinking ahead to the many organized possibilities. Contact:
