Risks vs. Benefits of ADHD Medication and Treatment

In this episode of "The Busy Brained Saint," host Kamden Hainsworth explores the risk-benefit analysis of ADHD medication inspired by Dr. Ratey and Dr. Hallowell's book "ADHD 2.0." Kamden poses three key questions for listeners to consider: Have they learned as much as they can about ADHD from reputable sources? Are they doing everything they can in terms of non-medical treatment and lifestyle factors? And how much is ADHD negatively impacting their lives or the lives of their loved ones? Through insightful discussion and expert insights, Kamden navigates the complexities of ADHD management, empowering listeners to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Learning to Breathe: An Interview with Stacy Luckey

Join us for a transformative episode as we sit down with Stacy Luckey, a breathwork coach, ADHDer, life coach, and trauma-informed coach. Over the past few years, I've had the joy of getting to know Stacy, experiencing her incredible coaching firsthand. However, it's her remarkable story that will truly inspire you this week.

In this episode, you'll not only learn from Stacy's life experiences but also discover the power of transformation and breathwork. Tune in to gain insights and inspiration from Stacy's story of overcoming adversity with grace and strength.

Non-Emergengy Success

In this episode, we explore a unique perspective on productivity, particularly for individuals with ADHD. While many people rely on a sense of urgency or crisis to fuel their productivity, those with ADHD often experience a different response. Due to structural and chemical differences in the brain, individuals with ADHD may find that a crisis actually calms them down, allowing for improved focus and problem-solving. However, this episode challenges the notion that crisis is necessary for productivity. We discuss the importance of learning to tolerate negative feelings, such as boredom or understimulation, and reprogramming our approach to productivity. By recognizing that not everything needs to be "on fire" to be worthy of our time and attention, individuals with ADHD can cultivate a more sustainable and fulfilling approach to productivity.

The Paradox of Hyperfocus

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint we dive into the topic of hyperfocus within the context of ADHD. Hyperfocus is a state of intense concentration on a specific task, often to the exclusion of everything else. While it can be a powerful cognitive strength, hyperfocus also presents unique challenges for individuals with ADHD. We explore the definition of hyperfocus, its differences from regular focus, and the role of dopamine in the brain.
Discover the positive aspects of hyperfocus, such as increased productivity and creativity, as well as the challenges it poses, including difficulties in time management and shifting attention. Gain practical insights into managing and redirecting hyperfocus effectively, and learn strategies for creating a conducive environment for hyperfocus. Whether you have ADHD or know someone who does, this episode offers valuable insights into the fascinating world of hyperfocus and its impact on attention, productivity, and daily life. Join us to learn how to navigate the complexities of hyperfocus and harness it as a unique cognitive strength.

ADHD: Is it Just a Label?

In this deeply heartfelt and spicy episode, we dive headfirst into the world of ADHD. We challenge the notion that ADHD is merely a label and argue that it's actually a profound explanation of how our unique brains operate. Far from being a stigma, understanding ADHD can be the key to setting ourselves up for greater success, peace, joy, and fulfillment in life.
Many of us shy away from the idea of an ADHD diagnosis, fueled by fear and the societal stigma attached to it. But what if this fear is preventing us from embracing our true selves and reaching our full potential? Avoiding discomfort can lead to a whole host of other problems that we need to confront head-on.
People with ADHD deserve to feel understood, seen, and embraced. For many, this journey begins with an official ADHD diagnosis. Join us as we explore the transformative power of understanding and accepting our ADHD, breaking down barriers, and creating a path to a more fulfilling life.
