Hello Brains & Hearts!

Happy fall and sweater season! I am writing this to you from the hotel room at VidCon Baltimore. Tomorrow I’ll be moderating two panels at the conference – one of which is about breaking down barriers for those with mental health challenges and other disabilities. I’m really excited for it, and very grateful for your support – which is what enables me to attend events like this!

Hope your back to school (or back to pumpkin spice lattes!) is going well. We’ve got quite a few updates for you this month :)

What We Accomplished This Month

Jessica gave a talk at the NSA – and that is all she is legally allowed to say about that ;)
We hired a PR firm to help promote the book – and they’re doing an amazing job already!
Jessica was interviewed for Zillow about how ADHD makes moving (and buying a home!) more challenging; we’ll share that article as soon as it’s available
J2 flew out to Seattle to work with Jessica for Operations Week. We made a lot of progress on reducing barriers to make our workflow and environment more ADHD Friendly.
Eddie produced his first animated style video for the channel! And managed to make #IBNU a thing :) Click here to watch it!
Jessica was on a PAX West panel: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dragons
We brought on an additional part-time editor, Daniel, to help with the footage Eddie’s shot with Jessica over the last couple months so we can get our second channel (The Wandering Brain) up and running! If How to ADHD is the classroom, The Wandering Brain is the playground: we’ll be visiting cool places and doing fun things, all the while modeling how to use ADHD friendly tools and advocate for yourself so you can live a full, fulfilling life.
We finalized the book cover for How to ADHD: An Insider’s Guide to Working with Your Brain, Not Against It – click here to watch October 3rd’s official cover reveal!
Harley was able to take a much-needed family vacation! 🐻 THANK YOU PATREON BRAINS!!
