Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 43

Focus with Lisa Marie Redl

Live Friday September 11 @ 2 PM CDT

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm hosting Lisa Marie Redl, a woman who has paid the price for speaking out and learned a thing or two about navigating noise, attention, and discernment along the way.

Our conversation is called Focus, and we're talking about ADHD.

Lisa Marie was diagnosed with ADHD, and I want to hear what that experience has actually been like for her. How did she get diagnosed? What did the diagnosis mean for her? What has she discovered since? And most importantly, what has she actually done that has worked to create greater focus in her life?

Of course, she's also raising four young children, so ADHD might be somewhat built into the experience. 😄

I want to poke some holes in the way we think about ADHD itself.

We live in a world that is almost perfectly designed to fracture attention. Screens, notifications, social media, endless information, chronic stimulation, stress, noise, and a culture that continually asks us to shift our attention from one thing to another.

How much of what we call an attention disorder is also part of the modern human condition?

And what if focus is something we have to work for and earn?

We don't expect physical strength without using our muscles. We train, practice, challenge ourselves, and gradually become stronger.

Why would attention be any different?

Focus is a capacity. It can be practiced. It can be strengthened. And in a world competing relentlessly for our attention, developing it may be more important than ever.

I also want this conversation to bring greater insight into the lives of people who were branded with an ADHD diagnosis, medicated, and then left at the mercy of conventional medicine and psychiatry.

What has helped? What hasn't? What questions weren't asked? And what becomes possible when someone begins experimenting with their own capacity for attention and discovers what actually works for them?

She learned that lesson the hard way!
