Lots of discussion about ADHD and ways to support. For example, the most recent episode #211 is specifically on ADHD:

“On episode 211, Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Brooke Schnittman, founder of Coaching with Brooke and author of Activate Your ADHD Potential. They discuss the barriers faced by ADHDers, the strengths of ADHD brains, the influence of the neurodiversity framework, the shift in our understanding of ADHD, the importance of structure and systems, her favorite tool for getting thoughts out of the head, and more. It’s a great conversation with plenty of usable advice and ideas.”

“On episode 210, we dive into a topic that resonates with many of us: the struggle between wanting to achieve our goals, and a lack of motivation. Today, we're exploring all of it with a guest who has transformed this challenge into an art. Emily chats with Dani Donovan, a renowned author, ADHD advocate, and the genius behind those viral illustrations that have likely caught your eye on social media. Dani's groundbreaking book, 'The Anti-Planner: How to Get Stuff Done When You Don’t Feel Like It,' offers a perspective on navigating the complexities of motivation and procrastination. We'll delve into the intricate relationship between our emotions and our drive to initiate tasks, debunk the myth that procrastination is simply laziness, and give you practical tactics for overcoming those daunting challenges.“

For background, from Emily Kircher-Morris’s bio:

“My path to this career has been one that evolved over time.  It began when I was growing up as a misunderstood twice-exceptional (2e) gifted/ADHD kid. I knew I wanted to make the world different for kids who were like me, so I entered the field of education. My first year teaching was as a third grade teacher in Liberty School District (outside of Kansas City) in 2001.  Soon after that, I began working on my master's degree in education with a certification in gifted education (K-12).  Teaching identified gifted students was wonderful, but I knew that the work I wanted to do was even deeper than what I could provide through the schools.

This led me to earn a second master's degree in counseling and family therapy. Currently, I provide mental health counseling for kids, teens, and adults at my private practice, Unlimited Potential Counseling & Education Center, in O'fallon, Missouri. Around the time I began working in private practice, I founded the local nonprofit, Gifted Support Network, for high-ability kids and their families.

My husband and I began The Neurodiversity Podcast in 2018 to bring more awareness to parents, educators, and other professionals supporting neurodivergent kids. Hosting the podcast gives me the chance to get in touch with other amazing researchers and advocates to find the best ways to understand and support people who learn and think differently.

I'd always had a goal of writing a book and these experiences culminated in the publication of my first book, Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom (Free Spirit Publishing, 2021). My second book, Raising Twice-Exceptional Children: A Handbook for Parents of Neurodivergent Gifted Kids (Routledge, 2022) also focuses on supporting twice-exceptional kids, but through a parenting lens.

The neurodiversity movement is changing the way the world views people who think and learn differently. I love being a part of the conversation. I provide trainings for educators and mental health professionals, both virtually and in-person, and speak at conferences as a keynote speaker or for breakout sessions.”
