ADHD. The Devils Advocate in You
04/28/2025

Hey All!

We usually have the devils advocate within. We just have to listen to what it has to say.

Living with ADHD makes it easier to be creative and find the advocate inside.

Don’t be afraid to use it.

The Starbucks Syndrome
04/23/2025

Hey All!

Are you a Starbucks fan? Do you hang in a Starbucks to talk with friends or do some work?

There’s nothing wrong with hanging in Starbucks. Just know you’re getting fed a tom of information while sitting there which can be great.

Let me know if you have Starbucks syndrome like I do.

What a Mess!
04/22/2025

Hey All!

Most days it’s like Groundhog Day (the movie). Same thing, same tasks, same same.

Today is one of those days.

Diagnosis. Feelings. Thoughts. Yay!
04/16/2025

Hey All!

When you were diagnosed with ADHD, did you have a YAY moment? I know when I was first diagnosed I was too young to understand. What I was older and was able to truly understand what was what, I had that YAY moment.

When was your YAY moment?

Some Issues About Coaches I Was Made Aware Of.
04/09/2025

Hey All,

Recently, a few friends and acquaintances have brought up some issues about their coaches. Most complained about their coach not helping them with their anxiety or depression and asked if I could help.

Coaches and mentors like myself cannot and should not say they can help you with depression as a profession. If they are friends, that’s one thing, but not in their official capacity as your coach.

If they are your coach, they should not be your friend on a personal level since they can use that to their ad...


Here’s a Dumb Question. Did You Listen to Yourself?
04/08/2025

Hey All!

Well, did any of you go home and do what I said yesterday, ā€œListen to Yourself?ā€

It’s important even if it was just for a few minutes. It’s an exercise in listening which to me is a lost art of life, and business.

If you can listen to yourself and figure things out, you can listen to anyone and do the same.

Be Well!

What Do You Need? What Do You Want?
04/03/2025

Hey Friends!

It’s all about wants and needs and your ADHD. If you don’t have needs and wants now, one day you will. It’s good to take an inventory right now of what you have, what your skills are, and what else you may need or want to move foreward.

Listen in for the details.

Creatively Unorganized in Life

I’m what I like to call creatively unorganized. In simple terms I don’t schedule most things. I start each day with a clean slate and go from there.

I talk more about this on today’s podcast.

Why am I organized? It keeps me on my toes creatively. Or at least I think so.

Forget Hump Day. It’s Rejuvenation Day!
02/12/2025

Hi Friends!

I know I make changes a great deal from one day to another, but that’s what happens when you let creativity flow during your day.

I try not to forget ideas. I either give them a try or ask others to try an idea created for them. If it doens’t work we go back to the drawing board, as they say.

I enjoy being creative, but I do need a day to rest and rejuvenate.

Be Well!
