About Cynde:
For the past 29 years, I’ve talked with thousands of people about whales. Through the Whalemobile, my education enrichment program focusing on a life-sized inflatable model of a humpback whale (that kids go inside), I can provide an engaging learning experience to introduce a unit about whales or be the expert that comes in to close it and answer student questions. I use whales as the inspiration to get kids to start thinking critically about what they can do to protect our planet. My obsession for whales as a child has grown into a greater sense of responsibility to take action on behalf of the wild world. Now, I strive to cultivate that same awareness, respect and responsibility in the next generation of ocean advocates.

Everywhere I turn, another person is diagnosed with ADHD. And they always say, “Everything makes so much sense now.”
They finally have a reason why they struggle with:
- Can’t deal with stress
- Impatience
- Impulsivity
- Easily bored
- Can’t sit still
- Negative self image
- Lack of motivation
- Sleep issues
- Procrastination
- carelessness and not enough attention to detail
- starting new tasks before finishing old ones
- Emotional reactions
- Disorganized
- Distracted
- Can’t focus
- Losing or misplacing things
- Forgetfulness
- Restlessness
- Talking too much
- Blurting out responses and interrupting others
- Mood swings
- Irritability
But what does the diagnosis actually give you? Does it teach you how to live your life better? Does the amphetamine prescription get rid of the problem?
NOPE.
Dr. Gabor Mate believes that ADHD is caused in infancy by a stressful environment. It can happen when the caregivers experience financial, political, or emotional stress. And a sensitive infant picks up on that stress. Because the child can not escape, they’ll “check out” or dissociate. It’s a coping mechanism to escape the stress.
Once this strategy is learned, it becomes the go-to strategy for dealing with stress and feeling uncomfortable.
But what if you could make your ADHD work for you instead of against you? What if you could change your brain? And create new, healthier coping mechanisms for stress?
Don’t you deserve that?
This is exactly what Adult Therapist and AD/HD "Hypeman," Kate von Achen, is determined to do–for herself and others.
Join us for a conversation on diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and making ADHD work for you.

About Kate:
Kate von Achen is a clinical social worker working as an adult outpatient therapist in community mental health in Lawrence, Kansas. Kate’s journey into this line of work was anything but linear and makes perfect sense to those who have followed her at times chaotic journey. Overcoming (at times “self-created”) obstacles, running toward the flames while others run for safety, and being passionate about being of service to others has been the golden thread connecting the various hats worn internationally throughout her life. Finding out she is AD/HD at 42 and learning what that actually means has made her “at times chaotic journey” make perfect sense and has added tremendous value to her long “life experience list” she calls on in working in a community mental health setting.

A word from Tracy:
Since becoming a doula in 1996, I've attended the births of almost 700 babies. I love helping soon-to-be parents navigate the hospital birth process to get what they need to have a great birth experience.

There's a difference between surviving and living. Some people have the odds stacked against them, and they not only live–but thrive. The road to get to this place is not easy. It requires something special to break the patterns of the past and carve out a meaningful life that is perfect for you.
In this episode of 'Be the Wolf,' Genea talks with Anne Brandon, a change-maker who has transformed her life despite numerous challenges. Diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, Anne shares her journey of dealing with trauma, neurodivergence, and emotional struggles while carving a successful path in a world that didn't believe in her.
They discuss the importance of acknowledging and processing trauma, the impact of supportive relationships, and how Anne leveraged her unique strengths to excel in her career without a formal degree.
Whether it's moving from one success to another, coping with severe personal setbacks, or ultimately creating a fulfilling career that aligns with her passion, Anne's story is an inspiring testament to resilience, integrity, and self-belief.
Today she is an integral force in creating cultural change and measurable prevention of sexual assault, dating, stalking, and bullying.
Join us for a conversation about the windy road that led her to become the bad ass human and change maker she is today!

From Stacey:
I am an HAES-aligned American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer with 12+ years of training experience. I’ve taught mat-based Pilates, Spin, CoreMania, Silver Sneakers, Adaptive Strength Training, Yoga, Total Body Conditioning, Bootcamps, etc. I work with many organizations, and have taught onsite and online corporate classes at Google, Adobe, Davis Wright Tremaine, McKinstry, EXOS, Fremont Athletic Club, and more. I’ve coached runners for 15+ years and served as Head Coach for SoleMates for GOTRPS for 5 years.
I hold Yoga Teacher Certification RYT200 (2015), STOTT Pilates Mat-based practice training (2010), and a certification as a Holistic Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2013). I completed the 9 month Body Trust Project: School for Unlearning in 2021 and the Promoting Body Trust in Your Work for Practitioners in 2022, both hosted by Be Nourished.
I’m dedicated to creating an environment for movement that is equitable, accessible, and diverse. Social justice is paramount and I strive to continue growing in my ability to be of service and support to groups traditionally excluded by the diet/wellness industrial complex. I recently completed a 3 workshop program with Dianne Bondy and Amber Karen’s with “Yoga For All” on the topics of implicit bias in movement spaces, using trauma-informed language to create affirming spaces, and adapting Yoga asana for all bodies. In July 2022 I successfully completed a 9 month Process-Oriented Facilitation (somatic interventions) program led by David Bedrick, JD, Dipl PW. Most recently I completed EXOS education’s course, “The Applied Neuroscience of Peak Performance”. I’m currently pursuing the GGS-1 Women’s Coaching Specialist Certification with additional study regarding movement and PCOS, strength training specific to Menopause, and pre/post-natal considerations for movement.
When it comes down to it, I’m really just a queer, anxious, fat cis woman who grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I now live in Seattle, WA with my incredibly patient and kind wife of 12 years (almost 13 years) and our 3 dogs; Oliver (Boxador), Pumpkin (Italian Greyhound/Chihuaua), and Emmie (Chihuahua). Would you believe me if I told you that my wife and I met on Craigslist? Lol. I looooove live music, random acts of kindness, paddle boarding on Lake Washington, and cozy nights watching some sort of trashy television. I love movement in many different forms and I do the work that I do because I’m passionate about it – and I love to use that passion for movement to support others. I love triathlons, a really good slice of pizza, saying hello to every dog I meet – ever, and reading trashy books on the beach.
