Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure

In this episode, Catie and Erik sit down with Kim Kizito to talk about supporting your neurodivergent students and how the IEP process can be a part of that. We discuss tips and tricks for parents starting (and working) through the process, what (and why) an IEP might be right for your ND student, and a whole lot more! You can find Kim on Tiktok at @theiepstrategist or on her website Kizito & Associates | The IEP Strategist (kizitoandassociates.com) Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude    Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

In this episode, Catie and Erik sit down to talk about their vacation and what it did... and didn't accomplish for them. Catie gets very, very honest about some of the stuff she's been dealing with (and is already feeling very awkward about this episode. Thanks, RSD). We talk about being tiktokers, about personal and professional expectations and we touch on what it's like to never, ever, ever be less than slightly bored.   Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude    Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

In this episode, we speak to artist and journalist Karl Gude, who was 50 when he was diagnosed with ADHD, and his lovely wife Dorsey Gude, who has depression. Oh, also, they just happen to be Erik's mom and dad.

Ah, how the turns have tabled. In this episode, we swap role and this time, it's Erik in the hot seat as we delve into just how Erik became...well, Erik. And speaking of tables, we talk a lot about how dinner table conversation shaped little baby Erik into the Very Excellent Person he is today. (Also this is probably a good time to teaser trailer the fact that Erik's parents are going to be our guests this week on our Thursday episode!).    Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude      Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

In this episode, Catie sits down to have a candid conversation about parenting with Dr. Kimberly Douglass, Owner and CEO of Remote Learning Solutions (and pretty awesome Neurodiverse tiktoker). Originally we planned for this episode to be about school, but we wound up talking about something far more important- how to support your Neurodiverse kid. We talk about advocacy in and out of the classroom and how parents can work with their kids' neurodivergency, not against it.     Find out more about Dr. Kimberly Douglass here:  Website: drkimberlydouglass.com https://linktr.ee/Kimberly_Douglass     Find us on TikTok and Instagram at:  @catieosaurus  @heygude            Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com  Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

In this long-awaited episode, Catie and Erik start the (very, very raw and vulnerable) process of unpacking their ADHD-high-performing-burnt-out-gifted-and-talented-kid experiences with music, rehearsal and performance. They offer (a few) insights on how to effectively rehearse and manage with ADHD, but...honestly y'all, this one is just a lot of strong, important feelings and vulnerability about our experiences.    Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude    Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

After narrowly escaping from the harrowing confines of an anomaly detector, Blumken and Helvetica venture deeper into the ADHD headquarters in search of answers. Spoiler #1: they don't find many, but we do learn just *how* much thought Chris put into this.  Spoiler #2: It's a whole, whole bunch. Also Catie's new favorite character MOD shows up ... a whole bunch more, so that's fun. We're also on twitch!

Welcome to a new Infinite Quest feature called Fan Girl Friday, where we fangirl over folks we think you should know. This week, Catie and Erik sit down with historian, author, researcher and Knower Of Things Ruth Goodman, who, we cannot stress this enough, is just The Coolest. We talk about the history of doing the washing up, learned cultural differences, time travel and Catie finally settles a years-long debate over her favorite and least favorite Victorian cookbook authors because of COURSE she does. Ruth Goodman's new book is called "The Domestic Revolution: How the Introduction of Coal into Victorian Homes Changed Everything" and it's FASCINATING and you can pick it up here: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B085TBZVYL&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_R2Y5SMQNWX6VM7BA2GRM Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com
