Laugh Lines with Kim & Penn Holderness

Reading your marriage book now—thank you, thank you! Hope you’ll write a sequel & looking forward to your adhd book & sounds like it will have a sequel too! 💗 Kim, you are not a fraud! I’m a 50 year old perimenopausal woman and I was diagnosed with ADHD around 5 years ago. Same therapist was over 95% sure after meeting my husband that he also has ADHD. Don’t know why getting a diagnosis took me so long either. You guys are a blessing. Thank you 💗

It was a beautiful evening for a walk and on most walks I listen to music…however, one of your videos popped up and I was so into it I was almost trampled by a herd of deer! Not joking. A couple walking by said they wondered if I was ever going to notice . LOL! I told them I was listening to you guys and they said “ Oh! We love them!” You two really are great walking “companions” Thanks for all the laughs!

The topics have moved towards depressing and not joyful.

I just recently started your audiobook - ADHD is Awesome. I’m curious, as it’s not mentioned in the Big D Diagnosed section, are you familiar with the QB Test? My son, 12 now, was diagnosed with ADHD about 4 years ago. When we learned of his diagnosis, my husband and I were closed minded about the recommended treatment, and even the diagnosis. Once I learned more about the actual test our doctor used, the QB Test, paired with reports from the teachers at his school, we began to open our minds up. Our doctors has a really good understanding of the symptoms, what the test shows, and really explained things in a digestible way. We invited our son into the conversation, and based on his own struggles, he wanted to give the medicine a go. It took two attempts to find a good medication. After 90 days following the new treatment plan, we asked our doctor to reassess him on the QB test. His results showed improvement and levels better than a non-adhd participant! He’s now thriving in school, test into gifted classes the next three years. Of course it’s not just the medication-it’s routine, working together as a family, knowing what he struggles with and where we can extend grace and support. Not putting negative sentiments with it or blame on the disability so he can default to it as an excuse. Rather harnessing it as a unique superpower with challenges and learning skills to overcome. His journey helped me see my own possible diagnosis. After unexpectedly being fired due to tardiness, I was also evaluated with the QB Test and diagnosed. I’m grateful to find the resources you both have out here for us to draw hope and strength from as we navigate our day to day challenges!
