I&apos;m here today with FOCUSED member Matt Ciciarelli who lost his job as a Marketing Director in November of 2023 and has been navigating life for the last year as an unemployed father of 3. A few months ago Matt decided he needed to do whatever it took to help his family out financially, and he&apos;s been digging graves ever since. Matt shares his experiences from diagnosis to navigating family dynamics, employment challenges, and the impact of COVID-19 on his mental health. You&apos;re going to be so inspired by Matt&apos;s resolve and his determination to evolve into the man his wife and children need him to be.

290 The Truth About ADHD Families: How to Finally END the Drama with Dr. Tamara Rosier

Self-awareness is one of our deficient executive functioning skills and it can REALLY hold us ADHDers back if we&apos;re not careful. Feel like you make the same mistakes over and over? That&apos;s in part because of lack of self-awareness. Feel like you don&apos;t know yourself, who you are, and what you want? Yeah, that&apos;s because your self-awareness isn&apos;t great. In this episode, my client Joe Corpus is here to discuss his path to self-awareness and the crucial role that acceptance played in the process. Joe was diagnosed with ADHD as a child but told by his mother that he was &quot;fine&quot; and &quot;didn&apos;t need medication.&quot; What ensued was decades of feeling disconnected from others, but mostly disconnected from himself. Joe shares his journey of developing self-awareness and how this can only be done with a hefty dose of self-acceptance. And the pathway? Well, you may not like it (I sure don&apos;t!): GRIEF. We talk about it all...you&apos;re going to feel so nurtured by this episode, I just know it. Joe Corpus is from Houston Texas. He owns a small, full-service gardening company dedicated to the stewardship of a limited number of high-end residential properties. Joe has been a part of <a href='https://ihaveadhd.com/focused/?internal-link'>FOCUSED</a> for  10 months. He was diagnosed with ADHD approximately two years before the pandemic.
