It's like I'm listening to a funny, animated, American version of myself talk about the challenges of ADHD. Russ' manner is relatable and entertaining whilst delivering insights and practical (and more importantly - achievable) strategies for adults with ADHD.

This podcast is really helpful! I appreciate that it's positive but not unrealistic about life with ADHD, and I love that Russ explains how the ADHD brain works in a way that's relatable and helps me understand myself better.
Description
Adult ADHD and Depression can be sucktastic! Let's have a laugh or two while we work to get on the other end of our unique skull spaghetti. Nominated for best male host in the 2024 Podcasters Peoples Choice Awards, and currently a top 2% global podcast!
Subscribe to the ADHD Big Brother podcast if you want short, entertaining episodes, delivered weekly, that will nudge you forward on managing those adult ADHD symptoms. Do any of these debilitate you:
I have no motivation to do boring things. I can't get started! I have choice paralysis. I have so much self-loathing. I have a million unfinished projects. I have no time management skills.
If so, I can help.
My name is Russ Jones, I'm a former actor/comedian and a current ADHD Big Brother. I am diagnosed with ADHD and Depressive Disorder. My mission is to help adults wiith ADHD who struggle in the way that I did, and still do, with managing their ADHD and Depression symptoms. I'm trained in integrative wellness coaching and have education and years of experience in ADHD specific coaching. My view is that this process is most effective through community. Visit adhdbigbrother.circle.so to learn about our growing community of adults with ADHD who are all getting our sh^t together...together! It's ADHD Coaching by Community!
