Consistently Inconsistent

In this episode we are joined by Chris Wang, founder of Shimmer, which is an ADHD coaching service focused on providing bite-sized affordable ADHD coaching sessions, and providing member with the resources and tools they need to work with their ADHD, not against it.

We chat about the benefits of ADHD coaching and how they can be helpful for anyone, even people already in therapy or life coaching. 

We also talk about the wide world of venture capital, and how it can be used to jumpstart a business, as well as how to disconnect your self worth from the success of your ventures. 

In this episode we're joined by materials engineer turned therapist Lina Fang. Lina is diagnosed with both ADHD and autism, and we discuss some of the correlations between the disorders as well as some strategies you can use in your everyday life to work with your brain instead of against it. 

Have you ever wondered why ADHD people seem to be motivated by different things than neurotypical people? Today we dive in and learn why through the INCUP acronym - Interest, Novelty, Challenge, Urgency, and Passion. 

In this second half of our interview, Dave and I discuss how medical understandings of ADHD are constantly changing, how external pressure can affect your mental health, as well as combatting perfectionism. 

In this first entry in a two part series with Dave, we explore the mental health toll involved with content creation and the thought processes behind content creation. We talk about how tempting it can be to chase high numbers on posts, but the cost that can also sometimes be involved. 

We also touch on conflicting views within the professional side of ADHD research, and how that translates to the mainstream. 

Part 2 is coming next week!

In this episode we speak with Matt Raekelboom who is an ADHD business owner and content creator. He is an ADHD coach, and also has founded an online community called Journey2ADHD where members can join support groups, chat with one another, and learn about ADHD. 

We talk about all kinds of interesting information, but some of the highlights include how ADHD interacts with dopamine, social media, and addiction. 

Today we are lucky to be joined by a fellow ADHD content creator and entrepreneur, Hayley Honeyman!

Hayley has nearly 400 thousand followers across her social media platforms which are all focused on ADHD, autism, and other facets of mental health. She is also a co-owner of Journey2ADHD which is an online ADHD community and educational resource. 

We talk about unique difficulties surrounding ADHD & entrepreneurship, how to organize your space, and how to determine interests from opportunities. 

If you have ADHD, you may struggle with time blindness and time management. Time blindness is having difficulty perceiving the passage of time, and can result in being late for appointments, struggling to get through boring tasks, and making scheduling a nightmare. 

We also talk about some time management tips curated specifically for ADHD minds to help you alleviate the negative effects of your time blindness.
