Ever heard of the Big Brain vs Fast Brain concept in ADHD? It's fascinating how we all process information differently. I'm more of a Fast Brain type, but I want to connect with those who identify as Big Brain. If you're interested in being a practice client, reach out!

One of my ADHD Coaching instructors, Cam Gott, talked about Big Brain vs. Fast Brain with ADHD which were in the Translating ADHD podcast by Asher Collins and Dusty Chipura. I am definitely more Fast Brain but I have clients who lean Big Brain and I want to learn how to work more with them. If anyon...

Going through clients' Halloween decorations is very serious work.

I'm never unsupervised, even when working 'alone' at clients' homes.

Tired of stuff getting underneath your furniture? Try expandable vent covers. You can adhere them to the floor with command strips. I got these for about $5 each.

Friends, as we start to get bombarded with back to school sales, I recommend taking your kids 'shopping' at your own home. With money tight for everyone, let's return to our values and teach our kids that they don't need new stuff all of the time. If you have to shop, try thrift stores (I like Little Wing Relief in Athens:). People donate new stuff there all of the time!

My son makes fun of me, but I think it's ingenious. I label the hangers that my pants go on so I know what's what in my tiny closet. I'm also super into using Sharpie on smooth surfaces and then rubbing alcohol to get it off. I figure if it doesn't come off, it costs me a hanger. I'll survive.

Neurodivergence at its finest people! This is a legend that a client created. Took a bit for us to figure out the correct names for her file categories, but this is what we arrived at. Super proud of the work we did!

I found this pic in my archives and it reminded me of a nugget I often share with clients when deciding which bins to purchase. Basically, I ALWAYS recommend clear bins EXCEPT for one instance - when you need to hide things. This is a picture of the 'gifts' bin which I kept when my kids were little and I still have one now. I kept it up high so that they couldn't reach and eventually, when they caught on, I told them it was up to them. They knew that they could look in and potentially ruin a surprise, so maybe they did, maybe they didn't. All I know is this is the system I used and it's worked well enough for me throughout the years.
