11/18/20 • 36 min
Are you telling yourself stories or reliving your past failed attempts and making that your reality today? You’re probably not doing this consciously, however, many of us base our current reality on possibilities of what you’ve done in the past. Statements like, “this is just how I am” or “this doesn’t feel like me” or “I can’t see myself living that way” are common.
The good news?
Executive Function skills can be learned, no matter what age you are. No matter where you are located in the world. All it takes is the right training, strategies and support.
In this episode Dr B talks about:- What can happen when ADHD and under-developed executive function skills are lumped together for diagnosis and treatment
- Giving a new meaning to ADHD and under-developed executive function skills
- The importance of celebrating your wins
- Enrollment opening now for the January 2021 ADDventures in Achievement Foundational Skills program

“Shelf-Help” Can Do More Harm Than Good - 079
According to government statistics, last updated in 2018, there are a lot of unhappy people that are suffering in the world. In the U.S. alone:
- 32 million people suffer from anxiety
- 17 million suffer from depression
- Around 12 million suffer from PTSD
And, according to Forbes magazine, the Self-Help industry generates over $11 billion annually. What I find interesting is that many of the self-help books and videos that get purchased sit on the shelf collecting dust. So for today’s podcast, I wanted to explore this phenomenon and help you get curious about what does work and why. How much time do we have? Not much. So let’s get to it.
And, if my podcast show is the first time you’ve been hearing about the difference between ADHD and executive function skills, you're not alone. If you’re an adult who received a diagnosis of adult ADHD, executive function skills should also have been assessed and discussed with you, in my humble opinion. The odds of having under-developed executive function skills along with ADHD are very high; in fact, almost a given that you will. It's also highly probable that you will have under-developed executive function skills if you've lived with chronic depression, chronic anxiety, trauma, addictions, or chronic illness.
In this episode Dr B talks about:- How shelf-help can do more harm than good
- The kind of help we need to really advance and heal
- The importance of celebrating your wins
- Open enrollment NOW for the ADDventures in Achievement program until Thursday, July 2, 2020!!
Developing your Executive Function Skills and shifting your limiting beliefs is the fastest and most effective way to overcome ADHD limitations, find focus, gain confidence, and newfound freedom in your life!

If Your Feelings of Overwhelm Have Kicked into High Gear - 081
Feeling overwhelmed isn’t automatically a positive or a negative experience; it depends on the emotion and on the meaning you give to the emotion you’re feeling. You could be overwhelmed with gratitude and self-love or overwhelmed with grief and shame.
The meaning I give overwhelmed is that it implies “too much” or “more than someone can comfortably handle.” Is that you?
Every time I imagine what life is like WITHOUT well-developed executive function skills before the pandemic, and then imagine it during this pandemic, the impact just 10x’d itself in terms of the negative overwhelm and impact that it is having on your lives. And so many of you are telling me exactly that.
The good news?
Executive Function skills can be learned, no matter what age you are. No matter where you are located in the world. All it takes is the right training, strategies and support.
In this episode Dr B talks about:- What it takes to stay out of overwhelming feelings
- Strategies for shifting your feelings
- The importance of celebrating your wins
- Enrollment opening in January for the ADDventures in Achievement Foundational Skills
- Free Executive Function Training Series coming very soon
