A bright light!

In the time of 2020 when we’re constantly surrounded by negative news and being forced with uncertainty of the future, this podcast brings me hope by highlighting the positives that are going on, that we may not hear about in the noise of the news. Thanks, Deanne, for bringing this bright light into the world!
Reductive and minimising language surrounding ADHD
01/22/2023
I stumbled upon this podcast when my Alexa device misheard me when I asked her to play Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast. I loved the first episode that came up. Then it went into an interview with a woman who has ADHD. I loved that, too. Until the host said, “I think I have a bit of ADHD, too. I think we all have a bit of that.” I hope, two years later, she can recognise how incredibly reductive and repulsive that is to say about a medical condition that makes living functionally incredibly difficult. You don’t have ADHD because you get distracted from time to time, no more than you have a brain tumour because you get headaches. Please recognise what an absurd and offensive thing that is to say. The guest who was speaking on her experience was far more polite than you deserved. Minimising language is harmful. I realise this podcast never exists and it’s a great concept, but you really failed here. Please be better.
Thank you!

I absolutely love Deanne’s pod casts. I believe that what you focus on is what you see. Focusing on the good inspires good in others. Deanne gets it and is doing her part to inspire good in the world in 9 minute segments. Love her!
