Welcome to the thirtieth episode of Harness Your ADHD Power, and the thirteenth "Ask Dr B" Show. I’m so glad you could join me today. I get SO excited to create episodes that you my listeners ask for. You send me questions or issues that you are struggling with and ask for insights and solutions, which results in inspiration and another great episode. You have no idea how happy that makes me; or maybe you do. Based on Monday’s episode 029, I hope you all get just how important it is that we develop executive function skills; just not something we should skip over or take lightly. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, I recommend you do so you’ll understand what I mean. There’s no short cut here. These skills are the pre-requisites to the more advanced skills we need to learn and master in adulthood; and we can’t jump to advanced skills without the basic foundational ones in place. Correction…we can jump there, but we can’t stay there because we don’t have what is needed to succeed. And what about your questions? Did you wake up with any this morning? If so, and you’re looking for answers, consider sending your questions over to me so I can answer them or find the answers for you. I’d love to do that! Just click here and you can Ask Dr B directly. Just click here if you want to make your needs known to me via the quick little 6-question survey. To help out the show: Leave an honest review on iTunes.

A free video and e-book about getting your ADHD needs met from mental health professionals A free tips e-book on decision-making, since life’s filled with making decisions ADDventures in Achievement, my innovative online coaching and educational program. After 30+ years of working 1:1 with adults with ADHD and hearing from many who wanted to work with me that they couldn’t afford to do so for any meaningful period of time, I worked out a solution. Because the program includes lots of 1:1 work, I limit enrollment to ensure the success of all current students. New enrollment opens again on August 15th so get on the Waitlist if you want to receive additional information before the 15th to know if this might be right for you. A Favorite Quote: Tony Robbins said, “We are defined by the stories we tell ourselves.” The question I have for you at this point of our journey together is “What are the stories you are telling yourself about YOU that are defining you? And are there others stories you could tell yourself that would define you differently and serve a higher purpose than tearing you down or having you relive your past mistakes daily?”
