Episode 16: ADHD | Flexible Thinking, Working Memory, Self-Monitoring

We are closing up our segment on the 8 executive functions on today’s episode. Before I jump into the content of the episode, I give a little update on my life, specifically what’s been going on with my oldest son Desmond. Then I will break down planning & prioritization, task initiation, and organization. I share more examples of how low executive functioning plays out in my own life and how it could look for a child versus an adult. I hope you enjoy!

You will be getting more ADHD content in today’s episode. Taylor puts the symptoms of ADHD aside and focuses on what ADHD actually is and how it affects your frontal lobes. Taylor answers, “Why do I have ADHD? Why is my brain different from everyone else’s?” The short answer to this question is DOPAMINE. Taylor is taking on dopamine and explaining why dopamine is the main reason why you have ADHD and how low amounts of dopamine can negatively affect your day-to-day life.

The best way I can explain the absence is…I have ADHD. I’m going to be talking about ADHD and what ADHD looks like for me. I’ll explain low executive functioning, how coaching has been going, and what you can expect from the podcast every week. I hope you enjoy!

Hello Tenacious Humans! In today’s episode, we are talking all about the HOW when it comes to emotional maturity. I’ll coach you on how to deal with difficult humans with low amounts of emotional maturity. I’m coaching you on how to increase your own emotional maturity. You’re not going to want to miss the second part to last week's episode. This episode is packed with coping skills and strategies to help you be your best self. The homework this week is a questionnaire I got from the work of Dr. Lindsey C. Gibson. Her work on emotional maturity is incredible.

In today’s episode, I am answering my husband's question, “What do you do when validation doesn’t work?” This led me down a rabbit hole called, “Emotional Maturity”. I talk to you about what emotional maturity is and the big differences between someone who is emotionally mature versus someone who is emotionally immature. Your homework with week is to answer these 4 questions through journaling:

1. How did you respond to a recent stressful situation?
2. How have you coped with unexpected change?
3. Are you often fed up with everyone and everything?
4. When things go wrong, do you usually pin the blame on yourself or others?
