Life is joyful, stressful, chaotic, and never seems to slow down. Between the laundry, emails, deadlines, and all the things you want to make time for (like rest, hobbies, or time with your people), it’s no wonder your brain feels maxed out. In this ... more

  • Very good systems and tidbits

    I love the short, information-filled pods Sarah gives her listeners. She has so many good systems she discusses and guests she talks with. She, like, says “like” a lot, and, like, that is annoying, but her insight, like, and knowledge is, like, worth it.

  • Terrific & very practical podcast

    I have been listening to Sarah’s podcasts as someone who is just starting to learn about executive functioning. What I love most is how practical it is. The concepts and systems are explained clearly and can be easily applied in real life.

    I’ve used several of these ideas with my high school daughter, and both she and my wife and I have seen positive change.

    Highly recommend this podcast to anyone that wants to better understand and apply executive functioning systems in practical ways.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

073: Dopamine, Food, and Focus: The ADHD Nutrition Connection You Need to Hear with ADHD Nutrition Expert Annika Angelo
Q: What practical steps can someone take to make eating easier on days when energy is low?
Use the four S framework (stir-fry, sandwich/wrap, soup, and sauces) plus batch-prepped components, ingredient prepping, and social accountability to lower decision fatigue and make meals quick, flexible, and enjoyable.
073: Dopamine, Food, and Focus: The ADHD Nutrition Connection You Need to Hear with ADHD Nutrition Expert Annika Angelo
Q: Why is it so hard for neurodivergent folks to feed themselves, and how does hunger signaling work in ADHD?
ADHD can blunt hunger cues due to dopamine dynamics, while medications and interoception gaps make it hard to translate internal signals into action; recognizing these signals early helps initiate eating before energy dips, with structure and support helping to bridge the gap.
073: Dopamine, Food, and Focus: The ADHD Nutrition Connection You Need to Hear with ADHD Nutrition Expert Annika Angelo
Q: So can you walk us through the connection between nutrition and brains?
Nutrition influences neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, and it also affects neuroplasticity via BDNF, so what you eat can change how your brain functions and adapts, which directly links to focus and executive function.
070: Simple Systems for ADHD Home Organization (How to Declutter Without Overwhelm) with Allison Converse
Q: Can you introduce yourself and share a little about what you do?
Allison shares her background as an occupational therapist-turned-coach, downsizing her own home to simplify life, and explains how her coaching approach tailors simple systems to each person's brain and daily life.
060: How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important: 5 Prioritizing Strategies for Women Business Owners
Q: Can someone else do this task? Can I ask for help or delegate?
This question encourages seeking support, recognizing that not all tasks must be tackled alone.
