Oooh I’m a big fan of Jessica McCabe. Now seeing her talk relationships, yes!!

I’m on a trip to my home town, Kansas City. More specifically, at the moment: Overland Park, Kansas. I forced myself to go on a run. We can do hard things!!!!

I’m here for my dad’s heart surgery and it feels miraculous. I mean, actually, It’s less miracle and more science/modern medicine but wow. They wheeled him out of surgery and he already looked better, with his defibrillator/pacemaker making sure his heart doesn’t beat too slow. A little computer in his body, attached to his heart. Holy mackerel. The team at KU Medical Center was incredible.

I was running and enjoying those endorphins and enjoying that delightful Kansas Vitamin D and thinking how well we’ve all gelled on this trip. Someone asked me yesterday: how’s everyone getting along? I said proudly: “Terriffic!! So far…!”

By the time I made it back from the run, I discovered that the first disruption had occurred. Because these are people I know very well and I knew I could get away with it, and because I was all run happy, I kindly barked at all parties: “go actively calm down and come back when you can talk without escalating!” Then I winked at myself. Hey, girl. Therapy, books, mental health reporting, coach training. You’ve learned a helluva lot. Granted, I wasn’t the one who was triggered here. I had the easy job, but still!

Have a happy, sunny day, everyone!

Okay, it's lame to post your Facebook story as a post also, but this just tickles me to no end and I want to share it on its own.

This was the song I had to post with it and I finally found it.

(For those of you who don't recognize it, it's the legendary Led Zeppelin except- a cover!)

Here’s the link to us live on Clubhouse. Hope you can make it! If not, you can listen to the replay after!

That feeling when….one of your family’s sweet moments gets captured in the .

AND…it’s also about your beloved PNW’s dark dark darkness!

My favorite antidote to the darkness and potential winter glums, particularly for kids with ADHD, who are more prone to depression? Get to the trees. Legit scientific data says trees and nature reduce anxiety.

“Examining the physiological and psychological effects of a day-long session of forest bathing on a working age group demonstrated significant positive effects on mental health, especially in those with depressive tendencies.” study

Some people have a hard time understanding why their partners have extra challenges with…..

🤣🤣🤣 I’m only talking about the dishes, guys!!!

Truthfully, this is a fantastic explanation of ADHD and focus and hyperfocus, particularly for people who are not afraid to talk about s*x. 🙋🏼‍♀️Although…oh yeah, we are not even talking about s*x!!

Note, an overall lack of focus is not the right description. Ask my ADHD-brained kid who can spends hours on her drawings.

Come to me for your ADHD-related relationship questions. I’m here for you. 😘

Apparently, I love on the last day of the year! Complete coincidence so I had to redo the photo. Look at these photos - babies!! Not babies! And wow all the trials and tribulations I’ve gone through over these years and also all the wins and all the love. So much love.

Goodbye, 2022. Hello, 2023.

Please, my friends, be gentle on yourselves as you roll into the new year. I look around and I see a lot of ambition and a lot of being too hard on ourselves. I know I am.

I closed my eyes yesterday and asked myself what word I needed to hear and it was “gentle.” I told myself: “be gentle.” To me.

We can still accomplish our relationship goals without the blissful Big Dream. What’s yours?

Toss it and instead take one little baby step. The baby steps add up. Make each baby step the big, bad goal.

Happy New Year!

Happy! Freaking! Holidays from me and these two and Truss Love ADHD Coaching. 🥳❤️😘

What an incredible year, my friends. I couldn’t be happier about my decision to dive the heck on in to coaching. ADHD has been my obsession for years and working with clients is the most rewarding experience ever. Why? I suppose it’s because I have a thing and I want to share the thing and then when I get to, it’s just magic.

I have awe and gratitude when I look at 2022 even though it includes some of the hardest days in my life. How about you? Where are you at? Message me and let me know.

May your next days be what you want for them, whether that’s celebrating Christmas or finishing up Hanukkah or whatever it is for you! I hope it is just what you want it to be. Or message me if you want to talk about lightening your load and managing expectations ha!! Because the holidays can also be overwhelming! Kisses to you, beautiful people!

And may you fellow Jewish friends enjoy delicious Chinese food tomorrow night, our important U.S. Jewish Christmas Eve tradition. 😂😂 but true! And fun!

JOIN US! Part 2 had to happen! We couldn't help it!
Wednesday December 7 at 10am Pacific on Clubhouse!
**ADHD & Relationships**

Pic is from last week's conversation. We didn't know it would be bananas riveting. We didn't know we would extend it by 30 minutes and also schedule a part 2!

What do you want to know about ADHD & relationships? How does ADHD play a part in the relationships with people you care about?

I'm talking to YOU, neurotypical partner of someone with ADHD.

I'm talking to YOU, ADHD-brained partner of someone neurotypical.

And what the hey, I'm talking to all of us!

Because knowing more deeply about our neurodiverse world has shifted the way I look at things and helped me in countless ways!

As we strive to be better, inclusive humans, we need to know about neurodiversity. ALL of us.

JOIN me and the glorious Val Nichols!

I'm so glad I dove back into Clubhouse last week, like the olden days in peak pandemic times. I found a lovely, familiar party there and it warmed my heart.

Bring your questions or simply hop in and listen. No rules.

SEE YOU THERE! LINK IN COMMENTS!

That feeling when….you see old friends (20 years?!) and make a bunch of new BFFs and they’re all talented AF making art and you just sit back and take a moment to revel in life and the moments of gritty joy. I mean, I did exactly that. That’s the first picture here. It’s me and I’m thinking: damn, I am happy right now.

And you know what was cool? I got called an innovator for my approach to ADHD coaching. Awwww. That was in reference to my focus on people without ADHD, as well. It’s relationships and bridging gaps in understanding! Yes!!

We had incredible convos and at one point I looked around and realized every person at the table at that moment was either ADHD-brained or partnered with someone ADHD-brained. I am grateful awareness about it is growing. And hopefully, stigma is shrinking!

Last night, one new BFF (seriously, she is) asked me: what’s the one ADHD-related piece of advice you’d give if you had to pick just one?

I chose this: when someone says “ADHD,” we can’t assume we know what that means. My daughter’s ADHD is not my son’s ADHD. Every person is different and ADHD is different one person to the next.

Revel in the gritty joy, friends!!! And see some live music. It’s good for the bones.

(And if that is you in Portland tonight 11/26, see Punkadelick omg! Or along down the west coast for the next week or so.)
