S2 finale: Unlocking Motivation & Beating Boredom

S2 finale: Unlocking Motivation & Beating Boredom

Author: Dr. Janice Castro April 8, 2025 Duration: 10:55
In this last episode of season 2 of Latine ADHD podcast, we learn about how to find motivation and manage the feeling of boredom, especially if you have ADHD. I talk about two types of motivation: extrinsic (rewards like money and trophies) and intrinsic (doing things because you enjoy them). I will share tips inspired by Dr. Tamara Rosier’s book, “Your Brain’s not broken,” to help you feel motivated, like knowing why you're doing a task, imagining how good you'll feel when it's done, and changing your self-talk. Plus, you can get a FREE worksheet to help stop avoiding tasks by signing up for my newsletter (see link below).

Latine ADHD is hosted by licensed psychologist Dr. Janice Castro. This podcast creates a dedicated space examining the unique intersection of neurodiversity and cultural identity, focusing on the Latine experience with ADHD. It moves beyond generic advice to explore how cultural expectations, family dynamics, and community perspectives shape the understanding and management of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Listeners will hear candid conversations with mental health professionals, researchers, and individuals sharing personal narratives, all aimed at dismantling stigma and fostering practical resilience. The discussions provide actionable strategies that acknowledge cultural context, whether navigating family conversations, workplace challenges, or educational systems. Episodes might delve into topics like the nuances of diagnosis within diverse communities, co-occurring conditions, or holistic approaches to well-being that integrate mind and body. This isn't just a podcast about symptoms; it's about the lived experience, offering culturally relevant insights that help listeners feel understood and equipped. Dr. Castro guides these explorations with expertise and empathy, making complex psychological concepts accessible. The podcast serves as a resource for anyone personally touched by ADHD, supporting caregivers, educators, and clinicians seeking a deeper, more culturally informed perspective in their work or personal lives.
