419 | February Live Q&A with Brendan Mahan, Will Curb, MJ Siemens, ADHD reWired Coaches Moira Maybin & Kat Hoyer, and Lisa!

Join the ADHD reWired Podcast Family & more of the ADHD reWired Team every second Tuesday of the month for the monthly Live Q&A! In this Q&A episode, you’ll hear Eric, Brendan, Will, MJ, Moira, and Kat answer your ADHD-related questions!

Questions & Topics in this Episode:
(The following questions have been paraphrased.)

What are some ADHD-friendly organizing resources when preparing to relocate?
Emotions can be really big and dysregulated with ADHD. Do you have advice on dealing with surprise disappointments that come up?
My dad loses his temper a lot and it’s very difficult to talk to him. If I didn’t know better, I would have felt that some of the things he does could be borderline abusive. I don’t blame him because a lot of this is involuntary because of the ADHD, but if this continues, it’s not good for the family as a whole. I’m not sure how to deal with this.
How can I improve my sleep hygiene with shift-work?
I am currently caring for my mom who has early dementia. I’ll be trying to work on my tasks, but I keep getting off track. How do I manage interruptions?
How do you decide if “This is an ADHD thing” and “it should not be this much of a struggle so I should find a work-around” versus, “This is hard, but everybody struggles to do it, so I will struggle to do it!”?
What suggestions do you have for finding an ADHD-friendly workplace?
