While that definitely can be a symptom, for many girls and women the hyperactivity is in their brains and therefore often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed. Coach Jody Long was not diagnosed with ADHD until she was thirty-five. With that diagnosis the ways she had been all growing up started to make sense. She now...

Being a people pleaser is something that can get a bad wrap, but in many ways the intention of the people pleaser is very well meaning.

In its simplest form, life is broken down into two categories - stories and facts.  Facts are simply the things that occur in our lives. They are usually out of our control and something that everyone around us would agree on as having happened or not happened. Stories are created by us and are created by our thoughts about the facts. One person's story of a set of facts can be very different from...

There are most likely very few of us who welcome and enjoy painful emotions, thoughts, and experiences, and yet life seems to have a way of making sure no one escapes this mortal existence without feeling pain in one way or the other. But life also seems to have a way of making sure we also feel joy and happiness. The existence of seemingly polar opposites is how our Heavenly Father designed this...

On some level, we all like rules. They create order and prevent unnecessary pain and suffering. For example, when you are out and about driving I'm sure you really appreciate having rules of the road and having those around you follow them. The consequence of not following some rules can be devastating and life altering. BUT, there are rules that we tend to live by that aren't really rules. We hav...

For coach Elisa Fucci it comes down to knowing your individual values and t...
