Christine Syrad: Subtitles, procrastination & fermentation
09/19/22 • 70 min
Episode 103 with Christine Syrad.
“Our attention is like a river. Sometimes you could do with a dam because you can’t stop yourself from focusing. And other times you go through massive droughts.”
Christine is a gastronomist and fermentation enthusiast who also happens to speak 5 languages. She grew up between the UK, Japan, and Italy and has spent the last decade or so in Switzerland, where she now resides with her husband and daughter.
She is also the face of fermentable, where she not only teaches workshops to other chefs about the art of fermentation, but also packages and sells her own fermented products.
Christine and I talk all about her globe-trotting childhood and mixed-race heritage, and how her ADHD contributed to her many varied career paths over the years, as well as how her hypersensitivity helped her learn so many languages over the years.
We also talk about her years living in Japan and how ADHD is viewed in Japanese culture.
Christine is an absolute delight and a wonderful storyteller — I truly hope you love this interview as much as I did!

Dr. Janina Elbert: ADHD & executive functioning coaching
Episode 102 with Dr. Janina Elbert.
“I’m not sure if I would call ADHD my superpower, but certain strengths or ideas I get from my creative brain is definitely a superpower.”
Dr. Elbert has a PhD in clinical psychology with an extensive background in prenatal risk factors and child development. She is also an ADHD advocate and a certified ADHD coach.
Through her ADHD Empowerment Coaching practice, Dr. Elbert helps individuals with ADHD to learn, understand, and work with their unique brains to reach their full potential and feel empowered in their life.
She also recently moved from Germany to Connecticut with her boyfriend.
We talk all about executive functioning coaching and what it entails, as well as the difference between therapy and coaching as different treatment modalities for ADHD. And we discuss when it’s time to get coaching versus therapy.
We also talk about how ADHD is regarded in Germany, and some of the differences and similarities faced by women seeking an ADHD diagnosis in Europe versus North America.
