Episode Description

When we fell in love with the YouTube viral video “Xmas Jammies” 10 years ago, we didn’t know that Penn Holderness had ADHD. Since then, Penn and Kim Holderness, the First Family of ADHD, have regaled us with instant classics including “10 ADHD Lifehacks from Penn,” “Me and My ADHD,” and “How to Listen (Kinda) with ADHD.”

Aside from making us LOL, these witty and endearing videos have showcased the brilliant creativity, mind-blowing energy, and totally unique perspectives that ADHD can bring. ADHD is not 100% awesome, but the Holderness Family is very good at reminding us about the aspects and elements of this condition that do not suck.

In their new book, ADHD is Awesome: A Guide To (Mostly) Thriving With ADHD, Penn and Kim encourage readers to change the narrative around ADHD with something they call Operation Mind Shift. In this webinar, they will discuss…

  • How to blow up the maddening myths about ADHD that persist
  • How to talk to your loved ones about ADHD in a way that educates but doesn’t blame
  • How to reframe your ADHD traits in a way that doesn’t capsize your self-esteem
  • How to model ADHD positivity for your children
  • How to embrace routine and control your environment while remaining zany and fun
  • How to win “The Amazing Race” (just kidding, but they actually did win!)
  • And much more

Listener Testimonials

“I loved this episode so much! It was a great conversation with Penn and Kim, and I loved the song game in the middle. I wish the episode could have been longer! The insights throughout and the Q&A were so helpful.”

“Validation abounds when I listen to the Holdernesses. Finding a way to acknowledge the struggle as well as the triumphs makes it all feel a little less dreadful.”

“That was so helpful and I took a lot away from it with video snippets, notes, and quotes I can use. Thank you for having Penn and Kim on.”
