Here’s my list of what I’m exploring this week.

What I Said

I was a guest, along with Dr. Ellen Littman and Dr. Carol Robbins on CHADD’s Ask the Expert podcast.

Listen to all three of the sessions- all on women/girls with ADHD- HERE.



What I WILL Be Talking About Tomorrow (Thursday) at the ADHD Women’s Palooza

The Highly Sensitive ADHD Woman: When Life is Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Chaotic

The ADHD Women’s Palooza is THE place to get information and resources for- surprise! – women with ADHD. There have been amazing guests all week, including Sari Solden, Dr. Ned Hallowell, Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, Linda Walker, Dr. Ari Tuckman…shall I continue? The top ADHD experts in the world.

It’s not too late to join the excitement, the fun, and most of all, the incredible information you will gain.

Register now if you haven’t already HERE.



What I’m Reading

This book is taking my breath away.

What Happened to You, by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey
“Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?’”

I believe there is a huge overlap between childhood trauma and ADHD and this book, though not specifically about ADHD, explains how that can be.

What I’m Excited About

I get a lot of emails and guess what the #1 question I get is:

Where can I find a professional in my area who can help me?

I’ve researched the handful of ADHD directories online and decided that I’m going to develop the best one, ever. One that is user friendly. One that doesn’t frustrate you or make your eyes hurt. One that is comprehensive, where you can find therapists, doctors, coaches, educators, clinics, etc. One that is up to date, and much more.

We’re almost ready to launch, but if you are a professional or have a service or product and would like to be first in line or want to know more it, email me at support@addconsults.com.

ADHD-Friendly Recipe

5 – Minute Tacos
2 Servings (4 Tacos)

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 taco sized tortillas or 8 mini tortillas
  • Purchased salsa fresca or pico de gallo
  • 1 handful thinly sliced red onion
  • Torn cilantro leaves (optional)
  • Hot sauce


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and kosher salt, and whisk until combined.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the eggs and cook over medium low heat, scraping as the eggs solidify, about 3 to 4 minutes total. As you scrape, they’ll start to form together into a meat-like texture. Don’t scrape too much or you’ll make too small of pieces: just enough for that it comes together!
  3. If time, warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm.
  4. Top with salsa fresca (drain extra liquid before serving), thin sliced red onions, torn cilantro leaves, and hot sauce.
