  • ADHD, Divorce, and the Weight of Feeling Misunderstood | Becky Swanson

    ADHD, Divorce, and the Weight of Feeling Misunderstood | Becky Swanson
    2026/10/16

    When something gets forgotten, does it feel like a mistake—or proof that you don’t matter?

    In this episode of ADHD Case Files, Chris Steindorf sits down with certified divorce coach and ordained pastor Becky Swanson to investigate the misunderstandings that can build inside a relationship. Drawing from her own divorce and her work supporting women, Becky shares her perspective on emotional burnout, unequal responsibilities, co-parenting, and rebuilding your identity.

    Together, they explore what happens when childhood labels follow you into marriage, why an outside perspective can reveal patterns you’ve missed, and how to make decisions with your future in mind.

    ● When forgetfulness feels personal: How missed commitments can become tangled with hurt, frustration, and questions about whether a partner cares.

    ● The weight of managing everything: Becky shares what she hears from women who feel responsible for organizing the household and carrying its emotional load.

    ● The childhood labels we bring into relationships: How old beliefs about being difficult, incapable, or disappointing can shape how we see ourselves and interpret conflict.

    ● Parenting after separation: Becky discusses co-parenting, parallel parenting, and the importance of intentional boundaries.

    ● Deciding who you want to become: Why Becky asks clients to picture their lives two to five years after divorce—and use that picture to guide decisions today.

    3 Key Takeaways

    1. Investigate the meaning behind the conflict. One partner may experience a forgotten task as rejection, while the other experiences it differently. Understanding that gap creates a starting point for a more honest conversation.

    2. An outside perspective can reveal patterns you cannot see alone. Becky and Chris discuss how trusted support can help you examine your own contribution to recurring problems.

    3. Let your desired future guide your next decision. Becky encourages clients to consider the peace, security, relationships, and family life they want beyond the immediate conflict.


    “You can’t read the ingredients from inside the jar.”

    —Becky Swanson

  • You Can’t Pivot Until You Stop Spinning: ADHD, Resilience & Rewriting Your Story

    You Can’t Pivot Until You Stop Spinning: ADHD, Resilience & Rewriting Your Story
    2026/10/09



    1. The experience behind the 15-Minute Pity Party Pivot. Helen shares how her son’s devastating accident, nearly six months in a burn center, and 42 surgeries inspired a practice for acknowledging pain and finding a way forward.
    2. Allow the feelings, then redirect your attention. Their timer gave frustration a place to be expressed. Afterward, they identified something to be grateful for and focused on the next achievable action.
    3. A late diagnosis can change how you understand your past. You and Helen explore the relief of recognizing that years of struggle don’t prove you’re unintelligent or incapable—and how that understanding opens an investigation into what works for you.
    4. Prepare for setbacks and make the next step smaller. Through athletics, business, and her son’s skydiving experience, Helen illustrates how practicing recovery from mistakes and breaking goals into manageable actions supports progress.
    5. Protect your energy and give yourself grace. The conversation explores taking on other people’s problems, experimenting with personal support strategies, and allowing yourself to learn without constant self-criticism.

    3 Takeaways

    1. Try a structured emotional pause. Borrow Helen’s practice: acknowledge what’s difficult, then identify one thing you appreciate and one action within your control. The timer is a tool, not a deadline for resolving pain.
    2. Shrink the starting point. When a task feels overwhelming, ask: “What is the smallest step I can take right now?”
    3. Check whose problem you’re carrying. Before stepping in, ask: “Is this mine to address—and has this person asked for my help?”

    “You can have 15 minutes every morning. … But we literally set a timer. And at the end of the timer, we said, ‘Okay, that’s it. We got to get on with our day.’”

    — Helen Connors Groom

  • The Labels That Follow Us: How to Build Forward Instead of Living Backward.

    The Labels That Follow Us: How to Build Forward Instead of Living Backward.
    2026/10/02
    1- A struggle should not automatically become an identityOne of the clearest themes is the difference between recognizing where someone is struggling and defining the person by that struggle.Coach T talks about her son’s stuttering and her daughter’s difficulties in school. Her approach was essentially: investigate what’s happening, provide support, but don’t teach the child that the difficulty defines who they are.That fits beautifully with your ADHD Detective concept: observe the evidence without confusing the evidence with the identity.2- Parents have enormous power over which voices their children internalizeCoach T repeatedly returns to planting seeds.Before school, her children repeated Scripture and affirmations about who they were. She wasn’t waiting until somebody damaged their confidence and then trying to repair it. She was deliberately helping establish an internal belief system first.That produced one of the strongest ideas of the episode:If the world is going to give your children labels, make sure they already know who they are.3- Advocacy requires curiosity—not blindly accepting authorityBoth of you share stories about educators making assumptions about your children.The useful lesson isn’t that educators are the enemy. It’s that parents need to remain engaged, ask questions, seek appropriate evaluation when concerns arise, and understand what’s actually happening rather than automatically accepting—or rejecting—a label.Coach T summed up her philosophy simply:“You are your kids’ advocate.”4- The labels we receive as children can become the voice we use against ourselves as adultsThis is where the interview moves beyond parenting and becomes particularly relevant to late-diagnosed adults.You describe how someone can hear something about themselves early in life, internalize it, and then spend years noticing evidence that seems to confirm it.Coach T then connects that to self-talk: eventually, other people don’t even need to repeat the label because we’ve learned to repeat it ourselves.That is one of the deepest themes in this episode.5- You can rewrite the story without pretending the past didn’t happenCoach T’s two-letter exercise is probably the most immediately actionable piece of the episode.Write one letter to your past self:This is what I carried. This is what I believed. This is what no longer gets to control me.Then write another describing who you’re becoming.That leads directly into her philosophy of not merely “bouncing back,” but building forward.3 Key Takeaways1. Question the label before you build an identity around it. A diagnosis, learning difference, mistake, setback, or another person’s judgment can provide information. It doesn’t automatically tell you what you’re capable of becoming.2. What gets repeated internally matters. Coach T intentionally gave her children language about capability, faith and identity. As adults, we can also examine the language we’ve been repeating to ourselves and decide whether it is accurate or useful.3. You can become an active author of what comes next. The past remains part of the case file, but it doesn’t have to dictate the conclusion. Coach T’s message is about acknowledging what happened, deciding what you believe now, and taking deliberate action toward who you’re becoming.“You have to plant the seed for your kid, because if you don’t plant the seed, somebody else is going to sow a seed that is not good for your kids.” — Coach TLinkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanea-montgomery-33132739?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_iosInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/coachtthenp?stkn=Nmd2MmwzMDdhNjVp&utm_source=qrCoach T’s 30 Days of Empowerment: http://empowerment-strategi.vibepreview.com/Serve From Overflow: http://a.co/d/06CuJpExWebsite: http://clinconfcoach.com/Chris Steindorfchris@adhdcasefiles.comConnect with Chris on your favorite social media platformFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.steindorf.2025LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-steindorf-89a5363a6/For more information, go check out the ADHD Case Files websitehttps://adhdcasefiles.com
