Mama’s Gonna Make It – 11. Labels, Excuses, and Reasons

For our first-ever guest episode, we’re joined by Whitney Hsu (@hsumanityreads) to chat about parenting kids with ADHD, recognizing certain traits in ourselves and our partners, and the power of labels—when they help, when they hurt, and why they matter. We also dive into excuses vs. reasons, what true fairness really means, and why deadlines (even the ones we make up) can actually work in our favor to be powerful motivators. It’s a fun, insightful convo you won’t want to miss!” Links:  Hsumanity Reads Instagram with Whitney Hsu @hsumanityreads Vanderbilt form for ADHD assessment  Autism screening info from AutismSpeaks.org  Bandage Lesson to promote true fairness and equity, everyone getting what they need RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria)  Sheryl Crow “My Favorite Mistake” The 50 No Challenge from Signy Wilson Monday Morning 3am Music Club: article in Winston-Salem Journal from 2021 and their Bandcamp Recorded in the Omniverus Studios at Liberty Plaza, we are produced by Tim Beeman for Such-N-Such Media.Theme Music by Doug Davis.
