About this listen

In this episode of The Way Forward – A Kindness Mission, Tony and Cassi Bellezza sit down with Mike McLeod, founder of GrowNOW ADHD, to unpack the role executive functioning plays in the ADHD brain. From working memory to emotional regulation, Mike shares expert insight on how these mental processes impact everyday life, and how kids (and adults!) with ADHD can build systems that support success, not stress.

Together, they explore:

  • What executive functioning really means
  • How it shows up differently for people with ADHD
  • Tools to strengthen these skills and build independence
  • The power of coaching, patience, and playful accountability

Mike’s work is deeply rooted in compassion, neuroscience, and experience — this one’s a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone supporting a neurodivergent child.
