  • S4 EP12: Dyscalculia & ADHD A Story Beyond the Numbers with Dr. Sharnael
    Jan 30 2025

    "Dyscalculia & ADHD: A Story Beyond the Numbers with Dr. Sharnael" explores the unique journey of Dr. Sharnael Wolverton Sehon, a naturopathic doctor and energy worker, as she shares her personal experiences with dyscalculia and how it has shaped her life and work.

    This episode dives deep into Dr. Sharnael’s challenges with mathematics, spatial perception, and time management due to dyscalculia, a condition she didn't fully understand until her mid-20s. She discusses how this neurodivergent condition impacted her education and self-confidence, particularly in comparison with her academically gifted sister.

    Despite these challenges, Dr. Sharnael discovered her strengths in reading, social skills, and leadership. Her journey led her away from conventional medicine to explore natural healing modalities after a cancer diagnosis and the side effects of taking 33 different medications.

    She now uses a range of biohacking equipment, energy work, and quantum physics in her practice to help people find their destiny and live their best lives.

    This podcast episode also delves into:

    * Dr. Sharnael's approach to natural healing, which includes red light therapy, lasers, hyperbaric chambers, infrared, and ozone therapy

    * Her unique approach to understanding the body's biofield, including her work with remote biofeedback and conscious language

    * Her personal experiences with overcoming a cancer diagnosis, which led her to explore alternative approaches to health

    * Her five published books, covering topics from spirituality to the science of miracles and the ketogenic diet

    * Her experience of overworking, which she realises may be connected to overcompensating for her challenges with dyscalculia

    While the podcast series is focused on ADHD, this episode offers a glimpse into a different kind of neurodivergent experience through Dr. Sharnael’s story, highlighting the themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of natural healing.

    Listen to learn more about how she has turned her challenges into strengths and now helps others find their own path to wellness.

  • S4 EP11: Can You Really Sell with ADHD? with Debra Bowers
    Jan 28 2025

    Okay, let's craft a podcast description for "Can You Really Sell with ADHD?" that takes your personal story and aspirations into account, drawing from the podcast source material and our previous discussions.

    This episode dives into a topic that's likely close to the hearts of many: can someone who doesn't see themselves as a ‘salesperson’ actually succeed in sales, especially with ADHD in the mix?

    This is a question that resonates deeply if you've ever felt that the traditional sales world wasn't quite your natural habitat. You might think, like you did, that sales is just not for you, despite having a natural inclination for helping others.

    We'll explore whether ADHD, often associated with challenges like distractibility and difficulties with focus, can actually be a hidden strength in the world of sales. We’ll be drawing on the experiences of Debra from the podcast, who has built a successful career in sales despite her own ADHD.

    She highlights that sales is a transfer of enthusiasm and that her authenticity is a strength in her sales career.

    The podcast suggests that many people with ADHD are great at thinking outside the box and that their natural creativity can be an advantage. You mentioned that people often point out your natural ability to help others as an effective selling technique, which aligns with this idea.

    The podcast host also points out that authenticity is the most important skill in sales. In this episode, we'll discuss how you can use this kind of innate drive to connect with customers in a genuine way and transform it into an effective sales approach.

    We'll also be candid about the real challenges that ADHD can present. The podcast also highlights the concept of "listening ADHD", where there are differences between a person’s written and oral comprehension.

    In a sales context, this is important because active listening is crucial to understand a customer's needs. We will touch on how to overcome these barriers, and highlight that skills such as planning and time management can be developed over time.

    This episode will also touch upon your journey of wanting to learn sales skills, and your desire to continue to improve. It will also cover how your natural inclination to help others may in fact be your greatest selling technique.

    It's about finding your own path in sales that plays to your strengths, while understanding the challenges that come with ADHD, which are often coupled with the need to adapt and develop strategies that work for you.

    Ultimately, this episode isn’t just for those with ADHD. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fit the typical ‘salesperson’ mold, and it might be for you, who have already recognised their own potential for sales through their natural desire to help others.

    This is an opportunity to re-think what sales can be, and how to be both successful and true to yourself. It will be about embracing your unique qualities, finding your confidence, and using them as a sales superpower.

  • S4 EP10: ADHD - The Wheel of Fear and Freedom with Rhonda Britten
    Jan 23 2025
    Imagine feeling like you're constantly swimming against a tide, always battling feelings of "not good enough", or "why can’t I just do this?". Rhonda Britten is an Emmy award-winning individual with a career marked by significant achievements in the realm of life coaching and television.* Rhonda has been a life coach since 1995, making her one of the first original life coaches.* She has written four books, including Fearless Living, Change Your Life in 30 Days, Fearless Loving, and Do I Look Fat in This?* She has done over 600 episodes of reality television.* Rhonda was the first life coach on TV in the world to change lives.* She has had three TV shows.* She has been with OprahThis podcast might just be the life raft you've been searching for. It's not your typical self-help show, it’s more of a compass and a map to help you understand your own internal world of Fear.Rhonda Britten, isn't some guru on a mountain top; she's someone who has navigated the messy bits of life. She shares her own journey, which includes struggles with addiction and suicidal thoughts, making it clear that she knows what it's like to feel lost. It's this honesty and vulnerability that makes her approach so accessible and relatable – especially for those of us who might feel different or misunderstood. The podcast is designed to help you move past simply managing your fear, to truly understanding it.The title itself, "The Wheel of Fear and Freedom," gives you a clue about Rhonda's unique approach. Think of it as a visual model, like a bicycle wheel. One part of the wheel represents the patterns of fear that might be holding you back, those feelings of overwhelm, procrastination, or self-judgment that can feel like a constant companion. For many people, especially those who are neurodivergent, a clear framework like this can be incredibly helpful. If you're someone with ADHD, the structured approach can help you make sense of what's going on inside your head. And if you're someone with autism, you might find the visual aspect helpful in understanding the complex emotions that you feel. It's a departure from conventional methods, offering a fresh perspective on why you might be struggling.“a unique approach to understanding how fear operates, offering practical steps," is really the heart of the podcast. Rhonda doesn't just talk at you; she walks you through a process. She helps you understand that many of the things you think are character flaws – like being “lazy” or “unmotivated” – are actually fear responses. She also touches on the idea of a "core fear" that was developed when you were a child. This can be very helpful because it helps you separate the things that you do as a mechanism to help you, and who you are. This shift in thinking is very important because it removes the blame and judgment that many neurodivergent people feel, allowing them to approach themselves with kindness.The podcast also presents "The Wheel of Freedom", the other half of the journey. This is where you will begin to move towards living a life that aligns with your true self. It's about finding your “essential nature” and embracing your individuality. Rhonda will challenge you to move beyond the black and white thinking that so many of us get caught up in. You will learn that life isn’t about "good or bad" or "right or wrong", but it’s about understanding your fear responses.Crucially, Rhonda emphasizes the importance of taking action. This podcast provides not only the "why" but the "how." She presents a process that involves making a decision to change and then following that decision with practical action. For someone who struggles with feelings of being stuck, this clear, step-by-step approach can be life-changing.Rhonda offers practical resources to help you along the way, including her website and videos. These tools can help you to continue the learning at your own pace and in a way that suits you. For neurodivergent individuals who may appreciate additional structure or different learning styles, this can be very valuable.Ultimately, "The Wheel of Fear and Freedom" is more than just a podcast; it's a companion on your journey to understanding yourself better. It’s an opportunity to gain valuable insights and tools to live more authentically. By tuning in, neurodivergent listeners can find encouragement and practical steps to live a life aligned with their own unique strengths, regardless of the challenges they may face. This is a podcast that can give you hope, perspective, and a path to live a life that your soul intended.Connect with Rhonda:https://FearlessLiving.org/riskDiary of a ADHD Strategist | ♉ +📣 =👂🏽 is a reader-supported publication.
