In this episode Jamie discusses the epidemic of shame and how large a role it plays in the life of those with ADHD.  It can be a paralyzing aspect in the day to day existence of those who are diagnosed with ADHD and are not receiving proper treatment, as well as to those who are living life undiagnosed and walking around feeling like they are completely broken.  Give it a listen, and maybe you will be better equipped to help someone you love. 

In this episode Jamie discusses the concept of ADHD and Self-Worth.  Self-worth is such an important foundation of our being, it gives us identity, it gives us direction.  But when we have struggles that are different than most of our peers we begin to believe that something is "wrong" with us and all of that sense of self begins to diminish and we start to find ourselves in difficult situations more often.  Listen in and learn about how that can happen unintentionally and what we can do to help it!
