You can thrive with ADHD once you have a system. The first step is to eliminate shame! It was a pleasure to speak and meet everyone at the 2024 ADHD International Conference! #keepgoing

Learning how to manage your emotions is an important life skill and leads to better mental health. Like many of the people in my community, I have ADHD so that means I naturally struggle with managing my emotions. Eliminating shame & implementing a system has helped me regulate my mood and make better decisions. This has allowed me to have better financial outcomes, stronger relationships & a better sense of self. Sometimes when we think we have a “money” problem, it’s actually a problem with regulating our mood - and understanding this has been a true game changer for me!
For more information on how I’ve been learning about better financial management, check out my most recent Instagram video to learn about Bank of America’s Better Money Habits 🏆 #bankofamerica #bettermoneyhabits #adhd

Neurodivergent relationships are a unique roller coaster, but it's a ride worth taking!
We're honest, dedicated, and speak a certain language and that's why we tend to choose partners & friends who can relate to us!
Full set from my most recent show at the @fourthwalltv will be out tomorrow (8/23) at noon PST here on YouTube! #neurodivergent #comedy #adhd #asd

l've talked to thousands of suicidal patients (& friends) in my career and I always tell them the same thing: "You probably don't want to die, you're just looking for a new way to live". l've never had anyone disagree with that statement.
Turns out that in order to live and live well, we need a few key things: a purpose for being here, a healthy and safe environment, basic necessities accounted for, and non-transactional
relationships where we feel like we matter.
These are all things that can be very difficult to achieve, so when you're at your lowest you have to BELIEVE that there's hope for things to get better.
And there's ALWAYS hope, it's just that depression, anxiety, grief and other mental health issues make it hard to capture the small moments of joy that are happening around us every day.
There's no perfect moment to turn your life around, but things get better when you start to count up the small wins. In life, some things aren't that important and some things matter a lot, but happiness is always worth fighting for. Keep Fighting! #SmallWins #KeepGoing
