Journey With Me Through ADHD: A podcast for kids

HAPPY NEW YEAR my fabulous ADHD warriors!!! Let's charge into this year with purpose and start the year off zooming into the targets you create!  In this episode, I will recap the difference between a goal and a target, as well as the different between motivation and momentum! Our busy brains need targets to practice shooting for and momentum maker to keep us refocusing on that target you've made! Practice makes progress every time!  Be ready to talk to your trusted adult about a target you want to create and how you want to shoot for that target! Is it the target of getting to school one time in the morning? Or finding your calm when a sibling is bothering you? Or creating a bedtime flow routine that you can move through so that you can get better sleep and feel the best in your mind and body? It could even be a target of being a better active listener when spending time with friends and family!  Once you identify the target, then you can practice shooting for it with tools and strategies you've built in your toolbox? Do you need a visual morning flowchart, alarms set, grounding bedtime strategies, thought reframing/positive self-talk practice, etc... What does your brain need to success at hitting that target!? The beauty of a target is that you don't get a bullseye every time and it's what you do when the shot falls short... We will talk about that next week!    Please reach out to me at www.katelynmabry.com to share your targets for the new year! Always here for you! Love you all! 

Are you putting your oxygen mask first before helping others!? I LOVE how your BIG feelings comes with a compassion compass that can be such a gift to others! Let's pause and talk about how we need to be sure that we are actively regulating our own big emotions in order to have the capacity to use the gift of helping others with their big emotions!  In this episode, you will meet my dear friend and ADHD brother, Coach Ryan Mayer! He has a super fun way of talking about the importance of putting your oxygen (regulation/self-care) mask on, how to choose friends wisely, and how to be mindful of who and what you are choosing to spend your time and energy with/on!  Coach Ryan's Free Productivity Guide Link: https://guides.ryanmayercoaching.com/?which_resource_are_you_most_interested_in=Productivity&_gl=1*1bfrz3p*_gcl_au*NzM0NzM0ODcuMTc1ODExOTQ4MA Coach Ryan's Free Coaching Session Link https://book.ryanmayercoaching.com/networking   Visit me at www.katelynmabry.com for to connect or find more resources on your journey!

On our ADHD journey, we are often faced with many frustrations and feelings of failure...this is WHY celebrating little WINS is so very important on the path toward thriving with ADHD!  In this episode, I want you to cozy up and connect with the ones you love to talk about how you too can create tiny targets to shoot for during this big season of holidays, transitions, and a whole new year coming up!  What is a cozy target? It's a tiny , kind goal- something small and doable that helps your ADHD brain feel calm, focused and proud. It's that ONE thing that you can pause and say, "good job me!" For example: Helping with a chore without being asked, saying something kind to a siblings, taking a breath and a break when a big feelings strikes, using a memory tool to remember to pack something for school! What is your cozy little target this season?  Here is the truth...little wins build big confidence. It tells your brain, "I can do hard things!"  Always remember that your big seasons come and go, but your little wins add up to something amazing!
