    The Worst Questions Ever (And The Best)

    The Worst Questions Ever (And The Best)

    I love discovering new things about people through great conversation. But lately I’ve been thinking about how to avoid the pitfalls of asking a question that might make the other person feel uncomfortable or awkward. One of the reasons for that self-reflection is the fact that we have a junior in high school and previously, if I met up with one of her friends, I'd ask, “Where are you thinking about going to college?”  I had no idea how much stress just that simple question creates. (I wrote a blog about it here!)
    So this week, we asked you to send us your worst and best questions to make us laugh and help us get better! From what NOT to ask a pregnant woman to “what is the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Tim Curry?” Penn and I picked out some of our favorites to share with you on this week’s podcast. What's the best question you've ever been asked?
    Special Announcement: We launched a 3-part bonus series All About ADHD! You can listen to the Part 1 now and pre-order our new book ADHD Is Awesome now!

    This week, we have Dr. Marcy Caldwell join us who had a big hand in helping research for the book. We also have our producer, Ann Marie Taepke, gives some insight into working with someone with ADHD and we take a voicemail from Heather. We can't wait to hear what you think of this episode (and our new musical jingles that go with it!)

    Will Artificial Intelligence Take Over? with Dr. Helen Crompton

    Will Artificial Intelligence Take Over? with Dr. Helen Crompton

    Most of you that have followed us for a while know I’m an anxious person. You know one thing that bizarrely doesn’t scare me? Artificial intelligence taking over the world. There's a lot of hills I'm gonna die on. But if there's a zombie apocalypse triggered by AI? Take me first, alien overlords. Penn is extremely worried about artificial intelligence and what could happen if it gets in the wrong hands. So we invited Dr. Helen Crompton, a professor at Old Dominion University and the Executive Director of the Research Institute for Digital Innovation in Learning at ODUGlobal, on this week’s podcast to educate us.
    Artificial intelligence will continue to evolve in extraordinary ways, but I now have more tools to protect myself and my family against those who are using it for harmful means. How do you feel about AI? You can find more about what we discussed below:

    Let’s Reframe ADHD

    Let’s Reframe ADHD

    If you had a button to get rid of your ADHD or someone else’s, would you press it? The perception society has around Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is pretty negative. You would find it hard to believe there are benefits to something that has three unfavorable words as part of its name. I would rename ADHD in a heartbeat if I could. In our book, ADHD Is Awesome, we talk about alternate names we would use or others have come up with. But no matter what we were to rename ADHD, we need to reframe it. 
    This week we talk about changing the perception of ADHD, including the reframing name, traits associated with it, and even your own thinking about your ADHD. Listen to the show and let us know if you had a button to get rid of your ADHD or someone else’s, would you press it? I know I wouldn’t. I am grateful for my ADHD because my ADHD makes me who I am.
    Special Announcement: We are launching a 3-part bonus series All About ADHD starting on April 8th - stay tuned! Also, you can pre-order our new book ADHD Is Awesome now!

    Be Happier Today with Dr. Catherine Chambliss

    Be Happier Today with Dr. Catherine Chambliss

    I heard of schadenfreude for the first time while sitting in the audience of the hilariously wonderful Broadway show Avenue Q. It means pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. But if schadenfreude is taking pleasure in someone’s misfortune, can you take pleasure in someone’s joy? Enter freudenfreude.
    On this week’s podcast, we had Dr. Catherine Chambliss teach us how to practice more freudenfreude. Dr. Chambliss shared some of the benefits of freudenfreude and easy practices to include it in our lives (like even if you aren’t feeling that joyous about someone else’s success…fake it! Acting out emotions can help jumpstart those feelings in your system.) Tell us if you have any achievements or fun things that have happened to you lately - we will hype you up! Promise.
    We are so excited to get our new book out into the universe. You can pre-order it now: Our New Book, ADHD Is Awesome!

Great topic!

I hardly ever take the time to write a review, but this was such a great topic and so relevant for me right now. I have a daughter who is a senior in high school, and a son who is in eighth grade they’re both moving on to the next phase next year so it’s a big year for us. And I’ve often asked myself that question for all the things I think I might’ve missed the boat on when they were little, Can I change that now? Also, I absolutely love your podcast and all your reels on Instagram ( am I saying that right? :)) And I’m looking forward to Penn’s book on ADHD coming out! Thanks for all you do!

Let’s be friends

The Holderness family podcast is like listening to friends chat who are funny, inspiring, relatable, always entertaining and full of variety. Congrats on your award in “Other” category, it totally fits. All your interviews and topics are so varied and awesome. Kim you are fabulous. Penn you are talented. I know you don’t leave the house much, but I would love to run into in public, however I don’t get to Raleigh at all.
