Breaking blocks, fighting fear, and getting unstuck!
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- You know the feeling. You may not be a writer, but you certainly know writer’s block. You may not be a psychic, but you know when stars are misaligned. You know the feeling.
It’s that feeling you get when life feels hard. When the things you know are supposed to be falling into place in your life are falling out all over the road. You’re walking uphill through quicksand. Every move feels like a disaster waiting to happen … on your head.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can train yourself to fight the friction, dissolve the stickiness, and get yourself moving forward again. This week on the show, Nikki Kinzer and Pete Wright share techniques for doing just that, and feeling even stronger as a result.

Digital — Getting Fit with Tech
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- So much of how we feel in life is determined by how we feel in our skin. That means we have to take the time to evaluate how well we’re treating ourselves — are we eating right? Are we eating the right amounts? Are we exercising? Are we sleeping enough? It’s all too easy to let the world — work, kids, family — eat into our lives to the point that we’re just not healthy anymore.
This week, Pete Wright and Nikki Kinzer share digital tools for monitoring and managing our fitness and diet. From wearables that track your movement to the apps and services that help you define and achieve your health and fitness goals, listen in this week for the tools you’ll need to get started!

Problems vs. Possibilities
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- Problems! We all have them. They crop up when we least expect them, and they have the potential to truly derail us. But what if we train ourselves to disconnect from the negativity of our problems? To shift our perspective slightly, and turn our problems into challenges empty of emotional baggage, less intimidating? Less frightening?
This week on The ADHD Podcast, Nikki Kinzer and Pete Wright talk about problems, and the work it takes to reframe them into possibilities full of hope, energy, and power!

The Money Management Mindset and the Tools that Support It
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- When we think about managing our money with technology, it’s pretty easy to fall into the “tools trap,” that if you could just find that one great tool to manage your finances, you’ll suddenly be smarter, more in control, and better looking. The reality is, no one tool can do it all if you don’t establish the money management mindset.
We’re taking on both sides of this particular coin this week, creating the right money management processes to help you stay on top of your spending, and finding the right technical tools that support you along the way.

I hear you and I see you!
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- Today, we offer three sentences. They are three simple sentences that may just change the way you talk to your children. And once you see how your relationship with your children changes, you may find yourself wondering how these three sentences will change the way you talk to your partner, your spouse, your team at work. You may find that these relationships grow stronger, and that you grow a bit, too.
Or, you may find you’ve discovered a great new TV show, but you’re going to try different sentences all the same.
Either way, you should listen to the show this week. Nikki Kinzer and Pete Wright share three sentences that have inspired them in the way they talk to their own families. And sometimes, listening to others get inspired is an inspiring enough journey all by itself.
