My buddies Shane Thrapp and Braden Young have started the DadDHD Podcast, and I'm helping them with their launch!  So, I'm featuring episode 5 of their show where they interviewed me about fatherhood and ADHD.  I hope you enjoy it.

So anxiety management techniques will help.
Pass it on.

In this episode of the ADHD Essentials Pod, I interview Bradley Smith II about how restrictions help ADHD & creativity thrive. We discuss the nature of creativity, ways that ADHD can lead to small scale mourning, and how to set useful limitations.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

There isn’t a secret bonus final episode of Stranger Things, and you don’t hate the ending as much as you think. You’re just sad the show is over. And that’s okay. You’re allowed.

When my sons were born, I set a goal to earn my black belt and write a book by the time they turned five. Stuff got in the way and now they’re sixteen.

That said, I earned the black belt two weeks ago and the book comes out in September.

Keep moving forward.
