Brooke Schnittman went from being a Middle and Elementary School Administrator, (at my alma matter Jericho high school:), to helping others understand the dynamics of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a coaching business for ADHD'ers called Coaching with Brooke (CWB).   A graduate of Penn State and NYU grad school, Brooke Schnittman worked her ass off and is still turning out great content with a large social media following.   She realized the school system needed more help and she became an ADHD coach, to realize later at the age of 35 she too had ADHD and so does the majority of her blended family. How does she address her journey? Medication? Diagnosis? Ongoing support? Medicating family members and herself  through the Adderall Shortage?!?!    She discusses her earlier experience with a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder and how she dealt with bullying through her ADHD diagnosis, by way of her auditory processing disorder.   My questions about concerns for tolerance levels and getting addicted vs the benefits....in addition to some more shared Brooke Statistics and the fact that ....   PILLS DON'T TEACH SKILLS!!!!   Esteem and Behaviors are always an important component!   Listen up as Brooke shares her stories of Coaching with Brooke!   @coachingwithbrooke on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok www.coachingwithbrooke.com   Contact Jamie https://lightswitchlearning.com/product/bridging-the-gap-between-school-and-home/ [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielevine8/ https://www.instagram.com/teamesteem_/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-esteem-llc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamieblevine https://www.facebook.com/TeamEsteemLLC YouTube https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsK7ONq0Oph1AGTq9tDWHJw Websites: www.teamesteemmethod.com www.jamielevinemsed.com Resources: https://childmind.org/article/one-on-one-help-in-the-classroom/

Rhianonnon Richards and I met in an awkward round about social media type of way and I gladly welcomed her to Mom Esteem ! Listen up as Rhiannon candidly speaks out about her social struggles, like when she realized she was "a little off" and the masking she would do to fit in at school. Feeling like the 3rd wheel, trying to fit in. Figuring out how to interrupt and jump into a sentence. It's a skill! Who knew:) How her mom was always there for her. She describes the difference between neurotypical and neurodiverse and the different thinking tendencies behind that. How we express empathy differently,  misunderstandings . The difference between being honest and open vs undertones of sarcasm and communication nuances. My own social media fears, posting and imposter syndrome. The perfectionist fear that's holding me back! OUCH! Listen up on how her social media posts are helping people... Putting terms out there to be researched  Her most popular "Getting out of bed" post!  How her love for graphic design and ADHD coaching worksheets led her to take over the Coaching with Brooke social media title.  Interesting  ADHD symptom tests - Adapted from an official diagnoses test and her boyfriend, ADHD counterpart!  Being able to affect people, POSITIVELY, with her wide reach through social media posts! Our common struggles .... Of how getting a diagnosis makes you feel "less shameful" in addition to how it  "Helps to approach things differently"  And how meds keep you more sedated...essentially,  more real talk!   Contact Jamie https://lightswitchlearning.com/product/bridging-the-gap-between-school-and-home/ [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielevine8/ https://www.instagram.com/teamesteem_/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-esteem-llc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamieblevine https://www.facebook.com/TeamEsteemLLC YouTube https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsK7ONq0Oph1AGTq9tDWHJw Websites: www.teamesteemmethod.com www.jamielevinemsed.com Resources: https://childmind.org/article/one-on-one-help-in-the-classroom/

Let's just say - it's an anonymous program but zoom, dating during covid, and me meeting Jonathan who consistently attends meetings opened my eyes and heart to a new, very loving way of life. On this episode, I celebrate my relationship with this sober, sexy, and incredibly loving man who teaches me something new every day. How does AA change people? Some of the bigger life lessons that have been shared with me as a result of Jonathan's dedication to this program. He encourages me to be accepting of myself in ways I always wanted to be and to take more initiative but not be so hard on myself. "Take one day at a time, " Jonathan's esteem story and some solid baseball / life advice from his dad that still rings true today.   Contact Jamie https://lightswitchlearning.com/product/bridging-the-gap-between-school-and-home/ [email protected]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielevine8/ https://www.instagram.com/teamesteem_/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-esteem-llc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamieblevine https://www.facebook.com/TeamEsteemLLC YouTube https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsK7ONq0Oph1AGTq9tDWHJw Websites: www.teamesteemmethod.com www.jamielevinemsed.com Resources: https://childmind.org/article/one-on-one-help-in-the-classroom/

Growing up on Jamaican comfort food and hiding out at sleep away camp eating peanut butter cups in my bunk, food has always been a source of comfort for me.     Our emotions drive our behavior, which leads me and others to emotional eating, often times mindlessly.    What I learn from Elle about mindful eating.    This is my struggle or story if you will; the current state of raising awareness of my own thoughts and habits around food. Good and bad, happy and sad. Creative, expressive and mindless or mindful?!?! If you're hungry and your pantry in next to empty, I can help! Learn from me!   I will share tips from working with a helpful nutritionist and more…a helpful book called  Intuitive Eating By Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.     What are kids eating today that's effecting their behavior? What tips can we give them and be aware of so we raise better minded healthier children. What am I doing right and seeing in others?   Oh, and stay tuned at the very end for one last cute kid eating story!   Contact Jamie https://lightswitchlearning.com/product/bridging-the-gap-between-school-and-home/ [email protected]    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielevine8/ https://www.instagram.com/teamesteem_/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-esteem-llc/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamieblevine   https://www.facebook.com/TeamEsteemLLC   YouTube https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsK7ONq0Oph1AGTq9tDWHJw   Websites: www.teamesteemmethod.com www.jamielevinemsed.com   Resources: https://childmind.org/article/one-on-one-help-in-the-classroom/  

A marriage mentor, mom and fellow podcaster empowers people to find the good in their relationships as we discuss LOVE. Michelle Hays writes for a column at the Happy Herald and Lighthouse Point magazine.   Is it a feeling? Excitement? Excitement all the time? How does it change over time? As we grow and as we grow up... How do you perceive your relationship? What do you focus on? The positive stuff? The other stuff?   Love is a decision. 100%.   When you're loving someone, you have to also love yourself first. Sometimes we forget that. At least I do.   Are you loving your partner so much that you are losing yourself? Are you doing things with others (other than your partner) to feel happy in your relationship?   Are you being possessive and wanting to be with your partner all the time? Is that healthy?   Are you feeling valued in your relationship? Is your partner valuing you? Do they chip in and do what makes you feel valued? Are you communicating these needs diplomatically? Do you say "Would You" instead of "Could you"?   ARE YOU STAYING AUTHENTIC TO YOURSELF TO FEEL REJUVENATED AND HAPPY TO EVEN BE IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?   Are you doing what matters to you and what makes you feel good? To be your best authentic self.   When you are focusing on your partner and making them feel really loved, that when the magic starts to happen....Tune in to find out... HOW to do this?   We are all in this together! We are not ALONE!   Contact Jamie https://lightswitchlearning.com/product/bridging-the-gap-between-school-and-home/ [email protected]    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielevine8/ https://www.instagram.com/teamesteem_/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-esteem-llc/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamieblevine   https://www.facebook.com/TeamEsteemLLC   YouTube https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsK7ONq0Oph1AGTq9tDWHJw   Websites: www.teamesteemmethod.com www.jamielevinemsed.com   Resources: https://childmind.org/article/one-on-one-help-in-the-classroom/
