SHINING WITH ADHD  EPISODE #131: Balancing Dad Mode and ADHD with Therapist Eli Weinstein The Childhood Collective 10/18/2023   SUMMARY Parenting ADHD comes with it’s own challenges, but what about when you are parenting with your own ADHD? Today on the podcast, we are interviewing therapist Eli Weinstein on what it was like to grow up with ADHD and what managing looks like for him as a dad and practice owner. Eli shares how he keeps up with mental tasks, sensory overload, and getting support from his community. In this episode, we’ll discuss communication tips, and mindset shifts for parenting through our own neurodivergence.    MEET ELI WEINSTEIN Eli is a Therapist (specializing in relationship + parenting) who currently runs his own private practice in NY + NV. He is married to his wife Ariella and has two beautiful children, Rikki + Max and lives in sunny Las Vegas. He created ELIvation + The Dude Therapist Podcast host. He became a therapist to fill a need and create a modern outlook on mental health to create a more digestible and relatable view on mental health to help those in struggling times and add some extra inspiration and motivation into everyday life. Eli has been featured on Kelly Clarkson Show, The Trauma Therapist, Mimosas With Moms, Holding Space, Breaking Taboo, Therapy Thoughts w/ Tiffany Roe, and on multiple podcasts ranging from parenting, relationships, and mental health. His main goal is to help people on their journey to add support, care, empathy, expertise, and insight with no BS. He runs events, seminars, and individual coaching on topics from mental health awareness to public speaking coaching, relationship coaching, and confidence-boosting.     AFFILIATE INFORMATION We talk A LOT about executive function and what it takes for our kids with ADHD to plan and execute important tasks in their lives. But what about us? The mental load of parenting is real, and there is SO MUCH we have to use our executive functions for. One of those things is meal planning. What does everyone like? What will my kids eat? Which family member can have dairy, and which one can’t have gluten? The list goes on and on. We know nutrition is important, but balanced meals take a backseat between school, therapy appointments, activities, and more. That is why we are loving Hungryroot.
