As our world shrink and our access to other people is limited, there is a need for us and the people in quarantine with us to set healthy boundaries so that we don't sacrifice our own well being to meet the needs of those in our households. This week, Cam and Shelly discuss setting boundaries and managing expectations both in the context of quarantine and in general as adults with ADHD.

This week, Shelly and Cam continue our discussion of ADHD experience in the context of the current coronavirus pandemic. Though the pace of life may be slower for many of us, our bandwidth is being stretched by uncertainty, powerful emotions, and the effort of trying to find our new normal.
Using Cam's DAM model, we discuss how to manage the mental and emotional overload brought on by these uncertain times by evaluating and adjusting what we can control: our behavior.

This week, Cam and Shelly discuss how different clients are experiencing the slow down in the pace of life as they practice social distancing amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As the number of urgent items that need our attention decreases, our clients are turning our attention to activating on items that are important but not urgent.
Using several recent client examples we discuss how our clients are uniquely experiencing reduction in urgency and demands on their attention as adults with ADHD. Using these examples, we then discuss how listeners can adjust in the absence of urgency by looking for the opportunities created by this slower pace.

As coaches, Cam and Shelly are working with clients on managing the many disruptions caused by the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The individual challenges are as unique as our clients, the individual impacts they are experiencing, and their individual ADHD experience.
In today's episode, we bring that conversation to our listeners by discussing what we and our clients are working through: lost or reduced income, loss of crucial supports (environments, people, routines, structure), managing time when everything happens all under one roof, and more.

As adults with ADHD, we often do do not see the many resources available to us. However, when we are operating from a place of strength, we can start to identify and access those resources.
In today's episode, Cam and Shelly discuss the importance of approaching resources from a place of strength, identify several areas in which to look for and identify resources, and give examples in a few crucial resource areas.

This week we continue the conversation around strengths by looking at Shelly's client Sally and her limiting belief that she had to "pass as neurotypical" to be successful. Cam and Shelly break down how Sally shifted from this limiting belief to a strengths based perspective. We also discuss why this shift is so important and why it is often the place we begin with our clients.

As adults with ADHD we often have a black or white view of hyperfocus. On one hand we see it as a powerful elixir or superpower that allows us incredible focus and productivity. On the other, we know that hyperfocus can distract us from what is important by dragging us down Alice in Wonderland style rabbit holes.
In today's episode, Shelly and Cam discuss how to create awareness around hyperfocus by distinguishing when we are hyperfocusing on tasks that are timely and relevant from tasks that are not. We bring in examples from our own experience, discuss popular examples of hyperfocus portrayal, and discuss how hyperfocus differs from flow state.

As adults with ADHD we often view time as the enemy, because many of the effects of ADHD look like poor time management. Today, Shelly discusses her experience working with neurotypical adults and adults with ADHD in the areas of time management and breaks the differences in experiences. Shelly and Cam then distinguish time management challenges from ADHD challenges.
We also discuss how effects of our ADHD challenges are often mistakenly believed to have cause in time management issues, both by ourselves and the neurotypicals around us.

Transitions are difficult for those of us with ADHD. Often we can become stuck in one of two gears: the neutral gear of "the planner" or the 5th gear of "the doer" with little access to the gears between the two. This inability to access other gears tends to keep us stuck in either a pre-action or reaction mode.
In today's episode Cam and Shelly discuss how to identify which gear you tend to be stuck in, and how those of us with ADHD can begin to access the gears between neutral and 5th.
"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
