• 402: Is Your Kid Forgetful—or Just Being a Kid? Executive Function Decoded with Tori Cordiano, Ph.D.

  Ever wonder why your kid can recite every line from their favorite YouTube video but somehow “forgets” their shoes, homework, and to throw away the empty cereal box… all in the same morning? Before you pull your hair out, take a breath—this might not be laziness at all.  In this episode, Dr. Tori Cordiano, a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Director of Laurel's Center for Research on Girls in Shaker Heights helps us decode executive functioning: what it is, why your kid struggles with it (spoiler: their brain’s still under construction), and how you can stop expecting skills they literally don’t have yet.  You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh in relief, and you’ll finally get why socks end up everywhere.

• 400: ADHD Shame and Self-Worth: Because Being Late Doesn’t Make You a Bad Mom with Rebecca Tolbert, LICSW

  Ever shown up late (again) and thought, “Ugh, why can’t I just get it together?” That’s not just forgetfulness, mama—it’s ADHD shame taking a swing at your self-worth. In this episode, we sit down with therapist and ADHD coach Rebecca Tolbert to dig into why women with ADHD are so hard on themselves, how shame spirals keep us stuck, and why more productivity isn’t the answer. Rebecca shares science-backed tools to calm your brain, regulate your nervous system, and finally stop believing you’re “the worst.” If you’ve been beating yourself up for not following through, always running late, or feeling like you’ll never measure up, this conversation will feel like the hug (and the reality check) you desperately need.
