Is it ADHD or just being a kid? 🧠 - Advice Night with Stacy Jolley and Marvie Corbett

Tonight I'm joined by therapist Marvie Corbett, who learned she had ADHD as a grown woman with kids of her own, and she's helping us get all up in the business of brains, parenting, and postpartum. ❤️ Let me tell you about Marvie. After her second baby was born, she went through postpartum depression and anxiety, and while getting treatment, she found out she had ADHD and a learning disorder she never knew about. When she saw her test results, she texted her best friends, "I just learned I'm smart." 🥹 Now she's a mom of three and a therapist who speaks both languages, neurotypical and neurodivergent, and she helps families see that what looks like a behavior problem is often just a brain doing its best. Marvie answered your questions about a seven-year-old who can't get out the door without 10 reminders, a mom who feels guilty about her daughter's late diagnosis, and a wife who suspects her husband has ADHD but can't bring it up without a fight. Then she opened up about her own postpartum journey. I also share my "black bag" rule for marriage, and before we get to Marvie, I help a viewer whose friend of 15 years has been secretly dating her ex-husband. Ooh, this one's a doozy! 😳 🧠 Resources from the episode  Executive functioning questionnaire (not a diagnostic tool, it just shows your strengths and weaker "muscles"): https://nyspta.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Conv17-305-dawson-executive-skills-questionnaire.pdf Fair Play card deck for dividing up the visible AND invisible household load: https://www.amazon.com/dp/059323166X ❤️ If you've just had a baby and you're struggling, you don't have to do this alone:  National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262), 24/7  Postpartum Support International HelpLine: 1-800-944-4773 ⏱️ Chapters  00:00 Welcome to Advice Night  [00:00] Viewer question: My friend is dating my ex-husband!  [00:00] Meet Marvie Corbett  [00:00] Helping kids feel like the boss of their brains  [00:00] Is it ADHD or just being a kid?  [00:00] Why are ADHD diagnoses on the rise?  [00:00] Technology, MFA, and executive functioning overload  [00:00] Mom guilt after a child's ADHD diagnosis  [00:00] Does my husband have ADHD?
