We have had so many guests on this show, talk about how powerful the outdoors can be for kids, especially kids with ADHD or different ways of learning and processing the world. And if you are raising a child with ADHD dyslexia, a language disorder, or really any kind of learning difference, I want to share a podcast that I think you'll really appreciate. It's called Everyone Gets a Juice Box. It's parents just being honest with each other in a really safe, welcoming space about the highs and lows of raising neurodivergent kids. And what I love about it is is how real it is. There was one story about a mom who had this big career, running a major podcast division, and she realized she hadn't been home to see her daughter before bed for weeks. And at the same time, she was starting to notice these little moments, like her daughter freezing up during a simple preschool performance and just having that gut feeling like

something's different here and then all the doubt that comes with that like other people saying she

stepped back in and reconnected and created little games together just to help her daughter communicate

better it's such a good reminder that connection doesn't have to be complicated.

0:56.4

It just has to be intentional.

0:58.1

So if that interests you, go check it out.

1:12.7

And back for time number seven. John Accom. Seven. Seven. Let's go. Let's go double digits. I did a mashup one time. I was like trying to do that for a little bit, but then it fell flat. I only did it a couple times. People really liked it, but it was more work than I thought it was going to be.

1:28.2

So there's also a mashup episode.

1:29.7

So actually there's eight and i was just looking i was like i wonder if john's can be able to see that he has a whole section oh nice right there i'm trying to fill that shelf just trying to jam that shelf i want that frame out of there that's when i'll know i'm really doing it. Yeah, I want to have so many books up there.

1:45.8

The frame's going to have to move to a different shelf.

1:47.9

Put it somewhere else. I'm coming. It's a frame of Home Alone, like when he rolls out the thing, and that's my favorite movie, my friend bought it for me. And so I love it. But I will move it. If you can fill the shelf, you have a new book called Procrastination Proof.

2:00.5

It has got an incredible cover, never get stuck again.

2:03.7

But I want to kick it off by this. You said in this book, you said, by the time this book comes out, you are going to have a thriving YouTube bet, which is what my kids say. So I was like, that's so great. No cap. No cap. So then I was like, oh,
