My Fave Resources I Sent to Clients Last Week
Here’s a top tenner of some of the resources I sent out to my therapy caseload last week. Some highlights: an unbiased source for current events, some ADHD resources, and a 13 minute meditation. xoxo
1. Unbiased News Podcast by
This has been a regular in my resource emails as well as mentioned in session. I love that Jordan offers an unbiased perspective to current news events, especially because some many news sources trend left or right. Something special she offers at the end of every episode is a critical thinking question, which can help work our critical thinking muscles. This allow us to recognize our freedom of choice and personal autonomy by formulating our own opinions to what’s happening in the world. You can find her podcast on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
2. The Dopamine Dispatch Substack from
This is a great substack filled with all sorts of ADHD-related posts and tips. Kelly is one of my favorite ADHD-specific creators, as she offers a wealth of ADHD-friendly tips and strategies that not only are easy to implement, but are also relatable and validating of the neurodivergent experience.
Hailey Paige Magee is my go-to source for anything people-pleasing related. Her content on Instagram is also so relevant to what clients bring to session, and she’s able to deliver tough advice (stuff you don’t want to hear but need to) with a gentle approach.
4. “Ozempic” episode on The Maintenance Phase podcast
This episode really changed the way I think about weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. The hosts of Maintenance Phase do a great job sharing research studies and the science behind how the drug works, as well as the uses, pros, and cons. Really helps shift some of the judgement and stigma around the drug.
5. Bringing Baby Home by The Gottman Institute
This is a program for new parents that is hosted both live and on-demand. It places a huge emphasis on the relationship between you and your partner—how to stay connected and prioritize your relationship as you step into your new roles as parents.
6. TT’s ‘Dopamine Menu’ Is a Game Changer: Here’s How to Make Your Own” by The Everygirl
Creating a dopamine menu is a strategy that helps ADHD-ers get little boosts of dopamine to help stay motivated and get things done. It involves listing different easy-to-complete task breaks you can do in-between boring/unappealing work tasks.
7. “ALZConnected by The Alzheimer’s Association
If you’re a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, you know how lonely and isolating it can feel to not have anyone who can relate to what you do and see every day. ALZ Connected is a virtual resource and community where caregivers can feel supported by others who are going through the same thing.
8. “Help a Friend in an Abusive Relationship” by Northwestern University’s Student Affairs Department
This is a short article that outlines how you can show up and support a friend who is in any type of abusive relationship. While you can’t make your friend leave the relationship or force them to see the abuse, you can express your love and support in the ways outlined in the post.
9. Creating a Low-Contact Relationship with an Emotionally Immature Parent post by Emily Sanders
I love this post because it offers an alternative option besides going no-contact with an emotionally immature parent. Many of my clients aren’t ready to cut communication off altogether, but are in need of boundaries and strategies to maintain some type of a relationship that feels emotionally safe. This post gives a how-to for the middle ground—a “low-contact” relationship.
10. Calming Triggers IFS Meditation on Insight Timer
Insight Timer has a ton of free meditations like this one for pretty much any issue or need. This particular meditation is IFS-centered and focuses on coping with triggers from a parts work perspective.
