MY NEW NORM Podcast- S4 E13 / P2Host: BARRY SCOTT YOUNGEpisode: A LOOK BEHIND THE MICA BEAR- NOOGA PRODUCTIONA LOOK BEHIND THE MIC- Part 2With more than 50 episodes behind me, I am often asked how do you find people?  If you don’t know, I was in fully time ministry for over 35 years.  That’s a lot of exposure to people.  A good portion of that time was in youth ministry.  It was a blast  investing in the lives of young people – it was a privilege.  So not only do I have decades of those relationships to pull from but also from those we fellowshipped and ministered with.  Life exposes you to people – people have stories and I think, most stories are meant to be shared –again, that’s testimony.  After living in California most of my 60-something life and starting new in Tennessee, I’ve found new connections and friendship of which I can also pull from.   There is also the “I know a guy who knows a guy” resource.  I keep a running list of people who drop into my mind and pull from that list.  And let me put this out there – if any of my listeners know that guy or gal, give me a ring.That answer segways easily into the “what challenges do I face” question.  The list doesn’t always produce the outcome of a guest – people are not ready to share, to shy, or sometimes just too busy.  And that’s okay – I learned to trust the process. Then there is the personal struggle – myself.   I don’t script the podcasts.  I want to make them the most natural conversations I can.   Sometimes I listen to myself and wish I’d say something different, or I hear the struggle of getting some words out that sound weird due to the strokes affect on my speech.  But I can say this – I recently listened to my first podcast and felt so encouraged to hear that my speech has improved.  I’m so grateful that my initial purpose of beginning this podcast was to help me with my speech challenges and even I can hear the improvement.  I’d say technical issues are pretty low on my list of challenges, but they do happen – but that gives me the opportunity to up my game and skill level - and when I overcome it… it’s a pretty great feeling. I really didn’t know how long this podcast would last, honestly, it’s already gone beyond where I thought it would go, both with the audience and time.  But I can tell you this – I AM having fun – I love the renewed friendships – some of my guests and I haven’t touched base in decades and man, there’s nothing like friendships where you can look back and see not only what people have endured and overcome, but the faithfulness of God.  I love hearing their stories – I love the authenticity of real life and a willingness to share.  It will often bring tears to my eyes or make me laugh.  It’s interesting and I would probably want to do this if I only had a few listeners. So, to wrap this up, I hope you’ve gained a little bit of what goes on in the background  and how the My New Norm podcast got started and how it’s been such a positive addition to my life…. and I hope yours too;  whether you pop in for a listen every once in a while or don’t miss an episode, I greatly appreciate your interest and support. I hope to continue to bring many more stories - your stories - to the podcast.  And If you want to share it with others - that would be great.  If you ever have questions or comments, I welcome them.This is Barry Scott Young, and this has been a look behind the mic, thanks for listening!mynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / Find us on all major podcast platforms!

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S4 E4-Guest: BILL PARKER- J.D., M.S., Licensed Mental Health CounselorEpisode: ADULTING WITH ATTENTION- DEFICITPresented by:BEAR- NOOGA PRODUCTIONSChattanooga, TennesseeSHAREABLE Episode Quick Peek Video Link:https://youtu.be/-hCG7tauDDQ?si=tc7T491aHjD8Re_2 In this episode, you’ll hear from my friend, Bill Parker, Mental Health Counselor, from Experience Matters Counseling / West Palm Beach, Florida. Bill helps us understand, and deal with the challenges of adult ADHD. In adults, the main features of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many adults with ADHD aren't aware they have it — they just know that everyday tasks can be a challenge.  www.experiencematterscounseling.comSpecial thanks to Tammy Arlin, and Barry DeHart for sharing their story about adult ADHD in the episode intro.What is Adult ADHD? Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems.Though it's called adult ADHD, symptoms start in early childhood and continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognized or diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms may not be as clear as ADHD symptoms in children. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention may continue.Treatment for adult ADHD is similar to treatment for childhood ADHD. Adult ADHD treatment includes medications, psychological counseling (psychotherapy).HELPFUL APPS:Calm: Sleep & MeditationDwell: Audio BibleSleep Hygienehttps://www.sleepfoundation.org/bedroom-environmentNATIONAL AGENCIES: Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse (AVDA)https://www.avdaonline.orgDIAL 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifelinehttps://988lifeline.org/LDonline (www.Idonline.org).
