The ADHD Skills Lab

In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we sit down with Tevis Houston, the mind behind Friends Everywhere, a studio that partners with major brands like Levi's and Vans. We dive into the impact of late diagnosis, the power of ADHD strengths in the creative industry, and the importance of building supportive communities.
Since we are so close to the holidays, I have taken some of the core ADHD strategies Tevis discusses and dressed them up for the holidays! You will find this list below!
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
Here is a list of 3 tips to survive this holiday season with ADHD:
1. Leverage Your Natural Strengths

• The Tip: Tevis mentions her ability to "pivot quickly" is a benefit in her creative work.
• The Action: Over this next month, embrace multitasking in ways that fuel you—like decorating while listening to festive music or brainstorming gift ideas while cooking.

2. Prioritize Breaks to Rest and Reset

• The Tip: Tevis shared how taking breaks is her way to “reset.”
• The Action: Schedule short breaks throughout the day during the holiday rush. Use them to step outside, do a quick breathing exercise, or enjoy a cup of tea.

3. Sleep on Big Decisions

• The Tip: Tevis recommends “sleeping on it”.
• The Action: Apply this to holiday spending or major planning choices!!! Write down ideas and revisit them after a good night’s sleep.

Impulse spending is a product of more than just ADHD impulsivity, and we’re excited to untangle what that means!
On this week’s episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we went looking for a research-backed financial decision-making framework—and what we found surprised us! There isn’t as much research on ADHD and financial decision making as we expected, which makes this episode feel even more special.
Curious about what’s inside?

• Discover your financial decision-making style!
• Why impulsive spending might have less to do with ADHD than you think...
• Explore the paradox of ADHD: A blessing or a curse for your career?

Thanks for being here! Until next time,

Hello! Thanks for tuning into another week of The ADHD Skills Lab!
Skye brings us an interview with the wonderful E. Prybylski, wearer of many hats. They cover the essentials - daily ADHD strategies - but the conversation really gets interesting when they delve into, "how to write" and "how to get published."
I will personally be relistening to the bit on connecting authentically so I can feel that spark again.
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah (Podcast Producer)
ADHD Skills Discussed:

• Chunking & prioritization
