Attention Talk Radio

The Squirrtle is coming! The Squirrtle is coming! What's a Squirrtle? It's Wilma Fellman, part squirrel and part turtle, and the author of "The Other Me: Poetic Thoughts on ADD for Adults, Kids, and Parents." In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, you'll find less radio, more concert. Both host, Jeff Copper, and co-host, Kirsten Milliken, introduce Wilma, put on some soft background music, sit back, and listen as Wilma shares her favorite excerpts and poems from the book. In developing the idea for this show, co-host Kirsten corresponded, “I remember Wilma reading one of her poems at the ADHD Coaches Organization conference. Everyone in the room was in some state of apparent emotional response when she finished. Her writing is terrific and the emotions she captures are poignant. The way she read the poem at the conference was also entertaining.” If you have ADHD, you're going to want to download this show and listen to it on your iPod on long walks, while soaking in the tub, or when just relaxing at the beach or poolside or, in the backyard.

Terry Matlen feels your pain.  This ADD mother of two daughters, one of whom also has ADD, got her “failing forward” degree as a mother, graduating with honors from the school of hard knocks!  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken interview Terry Matlen, the ADD professional—not as a professional but as a mother.  Yes, an ADD mother who deals with the same everyday struggles other ADD parents with ADD kids do.  We warn you though. If you are looking for a high-level overview, this is not it, but if you are looking for practical examples of what worked for Terry and her family, then this is the show for you.  Listen in and learn about Terry’s two-adult rule, her structure around toy clean-up, and other successful tips such as the joys of adult timeouts, the power of the word “no”, floor time, messy zones, mealtime for the picky eater, breaking rules to make them work, why ADD working moms shouldn’t go straight home, and a bonus around the most important feature she insisted must be in her kids’ IEP plans.  If you’re impacted by ADD with ADD kids, you have to find time to listen to this show.

“My intuition tells me....” “I have a hunch!” “Go with your gut.” What does that mean? What is intuition? Are intuition and attention related, or is intuition just the object of attention? Should those with ADHD be concerned with or pay attention to intuition? In this episode, guest Dr. Ari Tuckman and co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken deconstruct intuition like never before. Why? Because the more you understand how something works, the easier it is for you to manage it. Understanding the nature of intuition can be very helpful for those with ADHD.

Set priorities, chunk it down, set up small but specific goals, take breaks, and reward yourself for reaching small goals… These are all obvious solutions when it comes to managing procrastination, but the question is: What do we do when these obvious solutions don’t work? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken interview ADD coach Sunny Aldrich around her concept of emotional procrastination.  Sunny discusses how she uses that concept as a lens to help others move past procrastination when the obvious solutions don’t work.  If you struggle with procrastination, this show will give you insight on other not-so-obvious ways to manage procrastination, which becomes obvious after you attend to them. Listen in as the three of them share important thoughts on the topic.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken interview Dr. Phil Anderton, an expert from the criminal justice system, on helping youngsters with ADHD avoid the criminal justice system.  The conversation includes discussions around markers that represent important times, called tipping points, when those with ADHD are vulnerable and could head down the wrong path. They discuss how parents can be proactive to catch these things before they happen and identify resources that are available to help parents.  Finally, they discuss what to do after an unexpected call from someone in the criminal justice system.  If you are a parent of an ADHD adolescent, this episode is a must for you.

Got ADHD?  Ever make it to an appointment on time?  Ever complete a task or a group of tasks?  Ever complete a project without procrastinating?  If so, “How Exactly Did You Do That” (HEDYDT)?  Seriously!  Critics are quick to point out what those with ADHD are not doing, but what about the things they do right?  Those with ADHD are so focused on what they do wrong that few recognize what they do right; but when they do, only a few realize how or what they did to achieve success.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Dr. David Nowell. He talks about strategic behavioral inquiry and how to use it to recognize what you do right to help you discover specifically what you did and how you did it, making it easier to reproduce your success again and again.  If you know you are capable, if you realize you do things right, then this show is for you!  Don’t miss it!

Wilma Fellman, ADHD career counselor, is called to help those with ADHD find a career that suits them.  She believes that too many career service providers get it wrong when working with the ADHD population.  In this episode, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Wilma to gain insight on her process so you may begin to pay attention to how you can go about casting yourself in the right role at the right job.  For those who are serious, we suggest you listen to her two previous shows: “Talents: Enough Talk, Let's Identify Them” and “ADHD: Finding Talents in Your Role in Life.” Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.

For those who survived our previous show, "Talents: Enough Talk, Let's Identify Them" (a bit of a prerequisite for this show), host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Wilma Fellman, ADHD career counselor.  They begin by removing all the things that may get in your way to finding the right job and career.  For example, Wilma powerfully illustrates why you look at career first and then the disability, but also the reason job characteristics, tasks, and environment should be the focus over career categories.  If you are tired of being miscast in your job and long to be cast in the role you were born to play, then you need to listen to this show and study it in depth.

Those with ADHD are said to be impulsive and distractible, losing hours within a day.  So how do they determine what is important and stay on task?  With two questions, says Dr. David Nowell. In this episode host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Dr. Nowell around these two very powerful questions, put them in perspective, talk about what determines what is important to them, and then discuss specifics about how those with ADHD can use them daily to move forward.  If you want to know what is important to you and then to be able to focus on it, you don’t want to miss this show!
