    Why Simple Tasks Feel Impossible: Executive Functioning Explained with Dr. Leslee Marcom

    If you've ever stared at a simple task and felt an unexplainable, heavy resistance… you are definitely not alone - and you are not broken! With the help of psychologist and clinical director Leslee Marcom, we'll unpack the topic of executive functioning and why struggles with organization, time management, procrastination, and task initiation are not signs of laziness or lack of motivation. Our conversation explores what executive functioning is, how it affects daily life, and why challenges are common not only in ADHD but also in anxiety, depression, learning differences, chronic stress, and burnout. Dr. Marcom shares practical, evidence-based strategies to improve focus and follow-through.  This episode is especially helpful for adults with executive functioning challenges, parents and educators supporting kids with ADHD, and anyone looking for realistic tools and compassionate insight into how the brain works.

    Understanding ARFID and OCD: Crystal Weidman's Journey Through Fear, Recovery, and Hope

    For most of her life, science teacher and meteorologist Crystal Weidman was labeled a "picky eater." While friends and family fixated on her unique food rules, they completely missed the clues that something more serious was to blame.  In this episode Crystal shares her story of navigating ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) along with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).  This conversation sheds light on what ARFID really is (and isn't), why recovery is rarely linear, and how community and self-compassion can transform a life.  Whether you're familiar with ARFID or hearing about it for the first time, Crystal's story offers connection, clarity, and hope.

    Social Media and Mental Health: A Conversation with Dr. Alyssa Lucker

    In this episode of the Mental Note Podcast, psychiatrist Dr. Alyssa Lucker unpacks the complicated relationship between social media and mental health - especially for teens and young adults.  We explore the challenges of researching social media effects, how it influences the developing brain, and where responsibility lies between parents and platforms. Dr. Lucker also highlights potential benefits — like connection, creativity, and self-expression — alongside the risks of sleep disruption, mood changes, and addictive patterns.
