I get as many emails about breaking bad habits, as I do about creating new ones. “It is remarkable how little friction is required to prevent bad behavior. When I hide beer in the back of the fridge where I can’t see it, I drink less. When I delete social media...
There are tons of articles and podcasts out there screaming at you, How to Master Your habits with ADHD, or something similar. My favorites are the ones that use words like, "Take Control of Your ADHD." They make it sound like if you could just double down on...
I'm learning how to listen with ADHD, all thanks to Netflix! No but really, I have a love/hate relationship with streaming. On one hand it entertains me while I'm on the treadmill. On the other hand, it can be a time suck that allows me to numb out and avoid my life....
Mornings suck in my house. From what I can tell, most ADHD adults hate mornings just as much as I do. You know what I mean - something always trips you up as you try to start your day. Sometimes you're missing a shoe. (or a child) Other times, you find...

So as I wrote in this post, I usually get pretty stressed out this time of year. I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I want everything to be beautiful and smell really good. But somehow the idea of getting my house together and socializing is too...
You might feel like the idea of a building happier life with ADHD seems out of reach. Sorta like the size four jeans I wore in high school. The word happy is misunderstood in our culture. We think we should feel good all the time and never have any negative emotions...
I recently stumbled upon another annoying ADHD symptom I hadn’t notice before. It started during a fight with my mother. "Maybe I should tell YOUR friends about you." The statement hung in the air. The absurdity of it wasn't lost on me. Forty-one years old, and my...
I didn't set out to write a guide about meal planning. If we're being honest I don't even like cooking. But you don't have to like cooking to feed your family. This is where I tell you a story. My aunt and I were working to clean out my grandparents house when I got...
