Extra Focus with ADHD Jesse
from ADHd20 · host Alison Kendrick and Matthew Bivins
We’ve been quoting his book Extra Focus for years—so getting to sit down with author Jesse J. Anderson (aka ADHD Jesse) feels like a major level-up for ADHd20. We dig into adult diagnosis, ADHD myths that refuse to die, and why “just try harder” is absolutely not a viable strategy for the neurodivergent. Jesse walks us through his 4 Cs of motivation, and we all compare notes on system-hopping, shame spirals, and trying to invoice your way through executive dysfunction.Also: fidget envy, secret middle initials, and TTRPG metaphors galore. We laughed a lot. You will too. Check out adhdjesse.com and don't forget to pick up a copy of Extra Focus at extrafocusbook.com or wherever you buy books. Special shout out from all of us to Dani Donovan, www.youtube.com/@Dani_Donovan and The Anti-Planner, adhddd.com/anti-planner💬 Let's chat about our interest-based nervous systems in Discord: bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
