In this episode, I share a recent personal experience on how multitasking caused me a major personal/professional embracement. It was a great reminder for me to be so mindful of my tasks throughout the day, and ensure I am only doing one task at a time from beginning to the end so that I avoid making errors that not only will cause a personal disappointment but also high jack my brain into a state of stress and anxiety.
In this episode, Eric is joined by Jonathan Kidder! Jonathan is a “kidder”, through and through – bringing comedy through character, as a puppeteer, content creator, and comedian. His big claim to fame is as a puppet character, Busy the Bee, on Waffles + Mochi on Netflix! The L.A. Gay Scene knows Jonathan as Miss Phoenix, The Ultimate Party Foul: Poolside Tarot Card reader by Merman Kidder, and through his party portraits he calls “Kidder-atures”, Kidder makes things fun using the power of personification and character to help him keep track of time!

In this episode, I open up about my personal story about seeking support to further manage my ADHD through Trauma Therapy. I knew that this method of therapy was going to be effective and I have always been a huge advocate of therapy but what I didn’t expect was the rapid results that I experienced.
“In total, some 20–50% of children with a history of Childhood Trauma have clinical levels of ADHD (Glod and Teicher 1996; McLeer et al.1994).”
Receiving support for mental health is a journey, from long waits to getting the right doctor to finding the right treatment and medication that will work and also the energy that it takes to keep at it. But once we do get the right support, magic can happen. I am beyond grateful to have found the right support team to move through this stage of my life. If you relate to this post and also to this episode, please don’t give up on your healing journey, keep going! I am cheering for your success.
Today, Eric is joined by Ian Siegel, who has been doing test prep and college consulting for a decade. In that time, he has delivered some of the highest improvements on SATs and ACTs in the country, and has helped over 90% of the students he worked with get into their top-choice colleges. Ian is also the author of “School Sucks, Your Child Doesn’t: The Secret to Unlocking Your Child’s Untapped Potential” where he details his philosophy and illustrates the overlooked reality that every leader, thinker, and doer has had an expert tutor or mentor. In this episode, you’ll hear Eric and Ian talk about adult learners, why having a high IQ doesn’t necessarily make it easier for someone to learn, emotional intelligence, how stress impedes our learning states, why self-judgment prevents learning and the importance of self-acceptance.

What are some ADHD-friendly organizing resources when preparing to relocate? Emotions can be really big and dysregulated with ADHD. Do you have advice on dealing with surprise disappointments that come up? My dad loses his temper a lot and it’s very difficult to talk to him. If I didn’t know better, I would have felt that some of the things he does could be borderline abusive.

How can I improve my sleep hygiene with shift-work? I am currently caring for my mom who has early dementia. I’ll be trying to work on my tasks, but I keep getting off track.
