- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- Jodie Sweetin (Full House, Fuller House, Craft Me a Romance) discusses her work as “Stephanie Tanner” on Full House, living with ADHD and how she thinks it has helped her, and the importance of showing up as the parent you needed to have yourself. She explains how therapy and sobriety allow her to be a better parent and the importance of honesty in a parent-child relationship. Mayim and Jodie consider the need for prison reform after Jodie opens up about being adopted as a baby after she was born within the prison system. They discuss coping mechanisms in nature vs nurture and share their earliest childhood memories. Jodie reveals the top 5 things that keep her centered and ways she redirects feelings of wanting to run away into efforts of self-care.

Your dad was my English teacher! Mr. Bialik! He was rad! He dug my writing and he is why I write to this day. ❤❤❤
He was mine too. 9th grade at Van Nuys middle school. Great teacher. One of the two I most remember.
@@50sKid Right?! He was dope asf way ahead of his time and so existential!
😊
This is so heartwarming ❤
Did he ever talk in class about his famous daughter Mayim acting on Blossom?
I am the parent of a deaf and autistic daughter, she is 48 now. Living with her is sort of like Rainman in sign language. Her favorite show is Full House. She was just beginning to print words. She wanted to invite her " friends " to a bd party. She listed her siblings and then Stephanie, but she also wrote out Jody Sweetin! We didn't even know she could read! But she figured it out from the credits! She still has Jody on her party list. I hope that gives you both a smile!
What a beautiful story Anne❤
That is so cool, I guess neurodivergent brains identified with her and now I understand why. She was my favorite FH sibling, always identified more with her and a few years ago I discovered I’m ADHD. For some reason we always vibe with other neurodivergents even if we don’t know it.
That is so beautiful 🥰 my son has autism too and he is doing the same kind of thing like your daughter did. Most of the time others don’t understand him and I have to ‘translate’ for him. It can be very hard as a parent but it makes you appreciate the little things and learn to see when your child connects with you to show his (and her) love for you. Thank you for being the parent that your child needs ❤️
This is so cute!!!
BIG smile 😀
Jodi just put my entire life into prospective when she said, “I can keep 9,000 plates spinning on set and forget where I put my keys when I get home”. I can tell you details about a patient I had three years ago but not remember if it is going to snow today. Thank you for this discussion, Mayim!
It's funny what our brains will prioritize sometimes. I can lose me keys because I forgot I am holding them in my freakin' hand 🙃🤣
@@eziekkiel5876 The best gift my husband ever got me was a keyholder I still use that whistles you back to say “keys are here” if you whistle!
Landing pads. I have certain places that I put my glasses and keys. They never go anywhere else. I will walk across the room or house to put them in that place. It has helped a lot.
A brilliant description of ADHD
Exactly!
Anyone who can overcome addiction has my respect
Amen brother. Lost my 20's to an opioid addiction. Was self-medicating my ADHD as well a little depression and anxiety sprinkled in here and there just to add some variety 😅
Coming up on 5 years alcohol free after a dependent addiction. It was and continues to be one of the hardest yet best things I’ve ever done. I needed medical intervention with alcohol but went cold turkey with tobacco (just passed 3 years without it) which was a gazillion times harder. When I was in active addiction, I could never see what life really was or how wonderful and beautiful it is. It took hitting a really hard bottom and reaching out for help.
100%
Absolutely 💯 studying the brain shows it all the more freaking amazing 👏 the brain on addiction is one hell of a drug
But she's fine with abortion which is wrong
OMG! An ADHDer here LOVING the conversation between three ADHDers about being ADHDers! Also, grew up watching Mayim and Jodi and it’s so nice to find out that they were ADHD girls just like me!
Also, I want “class with Ms. Jodi” where she interviews child psychologists, teachers, etc about child development
This is a great example of raw energy and joy, with these two talking over each other. GREAT discussion. I love and appreciate Mayim's guests, and longform discussions/sharing.
Jodi is a fantastic guest!
Dave Coulier said in an interview several years ago that Full House came about because of Jodi Sweetin. At 4-years-old Jodi impressed the creators of the show Valerie to the point where they created a show for her to be on.
He said that on the first day he was having trouble remembering some of his lines and Jodi fed him his lines. And that she did it for others too because she had read and memorized the entire script!
This might be my all time favorite of your podcasts. Quite a paradigm shift for me on a few topics.
OMG when Jodie says - "You're memory is based on your perception, you see the world how you experienced the world" hits SO HARD with me. Thank you for this excellent what to sum up this way of thinking! Much love!!!
Just started listening to your breakdowns, but this was my favorite episode ever. Such an engaging, present guest, love her energy, her honesty about ADHD and the terrific interaction among the three of you. Love the further talk after she left, and Jonathan's sharing the experience with his family, that was very eye opening, about needing to get injured to get attention. And, not that you need to hear this, Mayim, but I love your face, too, and you are never more beautiful than when you slow down and are soft and vulnerable, as you are on this podcast. For what it's worth, I joined you in the cry fest after Jonathan's touching reading of the Velveteen Rabbit. I did not realize it was such a deep book, I just remember reading as a child, and loving the velvet. I'm going to buy it again. Thanks for this Pod, really enjoying it.
Truly appreciate this thoughtful, touching comment, Xanna! Thanks so much for watching!!!
I loved hearing Jodi mention and talk a lot about adoption. I was adopted too and I’ve never really thought about how that’s impacted me. I’m gonna talk about this with my therapist next time.
🫶🫶🫶
My Hubs was adopted, he's met his birth mother once and kinda knows his birth family, like Aunts and siblings. I can tell 100% that it has effected him. He like carries this unspoken fear of abandonment around, which I think is linked to him being given up by his birth mother. Def bring it up with your therapist... there's a lot to process with that.
@@terallweideman7672 thank you so much for the feedback. What you said has definitely resonated with me and I can’t wait to talk to my therapist about how else my adoption affected me
I always felt like I identified with Stephanie. I grew up with her. We were the same age. I like the real person Jodi is...
I LOOOOOVE This episode. One of the most authentic and real people in the industry. Also just sounded like I was just listening to two girlfriends chatting over lunch.
I got diagnosed with ADHD at 32. What indicated to me that I should seek diagnosis was that my life was falling apart and my gut said "you're depressed but it isn't depression. It's something else." So I looked up ADHD, and it made my entire life snap into perspective in such a way that I began to weep. I work really hard. I'm an artist, a painter. And I couldn't understand how I could work so hard and have my life be such a complete mess. It was the ADHD. Now I'm in therapy and on meds, and it has changed my life for the better. Thanks for this episode. I felt like I wasn't alone.
You aren't alone ❤️ Have you tried using a visual timer? Something you are putting off, say: OK I'm going to do it, not perfectly but good enough for just 5 minutes" set the timer
Hi Bonita, I'm 52, and I saw a heart doctor (cardiologist) for high blood pressure... Well, I told him that I have bad ADHD and that I need to start taking meds for it... And he told me "Don't take ADHD medications because they're bad for your heart." So be very careful. If I were you, I would only use them when necessary, so your heart can take a break.
@@SCORP1ONF1RE I would discuss with him medications that are low dose or non stimulant. Taking ADHD medication can help people actually take better care of their health, rather than what the side effects of what the medication would do :).
Same here, only I was 50. Can’t help but wonder what my life would be like now had I been aware of this 30-40 years ago. Or even at 40 lol
PS I’m also an artist!
I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD Combined last year, I'm currently taking medication. I'm so relieved I finally got a diagnosis, after years of being told I was stupid, lazy, untidy, good for nothing, a loser etc.
Technically there is no adult ADHD. There are only medicine underdiagnosing girls with ADHD because they are too well-behaved. (Not that we are WELL behaved but compared to some boys) Inattentive ADHD is seldom diagnosed in a timely manner. I was diagnosed at 37 and 57 with ADHD and ASD.
My childhood was hell. The kids hated me since second grade. There is so much to learn but it is mostly encouraging.
I’m 56, and never even realized, until two years ago, that my life was all about adhd. During this episode, I had a serious aha moment about why no one ever diagnosed me as a child, and yet no one understood me.
It’s incredible how Mayim and Jodi never seem to age 😊😊😊 I love these two
Some people keep their facial structure throughout the aging process.
Yeah but it's also OKAY if they do, right?
@@lorettaknoelk3475they didn't say it wasn't lol. They're just saying they don't look their age they look younger that's all
Full house was my absolute favorite TV show growing up. As a middle child I identified with Jodie's character. I'm so happy she is doing well and thriving today.💗
Addiction is a hell of a disease. I've managed to put together 5.5 years sobriety as of this comment. The fact that Jodie has put in the work and done so much self-reflection and, as a result, has the opportunity to parent her children accordingly... what a blessing. I've really connected with her story since she was on with Steve-O. I wish her nothing but the best in the future.
Kudos to you for the hard work you had to put in to be the best you for yourself and your loved ones. It ain't easy😊
My very first memory I have was before I turned one. I was an infant in a car seat, stuck.. woke up in the backseat alone, screaming & no one came. After awhile my mom came. I’ve talked ab this instance my whole life and my mom told me that I fell asleep in the car and she parked it in the garage and didn’t want to wake me up and had gone inside to put groceries away. It was terrifying for me, as a baby. Crazy!
As someone diagnosed with ADHD at 44, I identify with so much of this.
"The only time you know what to do with someone else's child is when you don't have children. Then you know everything." -Mayim

I wish ADHD was taken a lot more seriously in society. I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD-PI until I was an adult. I think I was around 20. I am 30 now, doing better now. But undiagnosed ADHD pretty well ruined my childhood. It should have been extremely obvious to the people around me as a child. I was off the freakin' wall. Never paid attention and had the hardest time concentrating on any task that was even slightly boring or not of interest. I should have been diagnosed no later than 6 years old. It was so obvious. I fell through the cracks. It's one of my biggest regrets, even though it was out of my control at the time.
An early diagnosis could have saved my life, preventing a ten year drug addiction, among other issues. I lost my entire 20's to drugs. I self medicated. As discussed, just as many girls are likely to suffer from ADHD as are boys. Little girls just present with different outward symptoms compared to their male peers. Boys are usually outwardly hyper and disruptive. Young girls usually get lost in their own little minds and present with symptoms that are harder to notice by the adults around them. ADHD girls are like the opposite of ADHD boys. Now obviously this is not the case all the time. There are going to be girls who are hyper and boys who are quiet daydreamers. Girls tend to be quiet as they live in their minds. Why this is precisely, I am not sure. I think it is a mix of female cognitive differences as well as the societal expectation we place upon little girls. They are taught to not be disruptive, as it's not lady like? I think it's really unfortunate and thankfully we don't see much of that today. Me personally I was hyper as a kid and when I grew older I was more of the quiet daydreamer. Children's symptoms will change as their brain/mind's coping mechanisms evolve and advance as they grow older. But the vast majority of children certainly do not "grow out of their ADHD". It is a condition you are born with and evolves over time. But it does not go away. Although with proper healthy coping mechanisms, an undiagnosed person can definitely function properly in society, relationships, the workplace, ect. But there will always be a deficit that could be improved with therapy and medication. It's always best to get a proper diagnosis from a psychiatrist. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR KIDDOS AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH! IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE TO HAVE A HEALTHY MIND!
Same! I have so much trauma from growing up undiagnosed. I’m glad the title says “MY ADHD is a superpower” Jodie’s ADHD could be her superpower. My ADHD is not a superpower. It ruined my life.
@@mariamshah338 You may have misunderstood. I feel that they are saying that somewhere inside the ADHD, there is a superpower, not that ADHD itself is a superpower. For me it was an attention to detail, and as an accountant, that was highly valued. But my relationships and the rest of my life was a disaster. I didn't know all this until decades later when I reached out for therapy. I also feel ADHD ruined my miserable life. I'm 67 now with no relationships.and really struggling to hang on. But I disagree with this commenter that "with proper healthy coping mechanisms, an undiagnosed person can definitely function properly in society, relationships . . ". For one, undiagnosed, you ARE unhealthy. Life is a daily struggle. But she's only 30 she says, and coming out of addiction. She has so much to learn, don't you think?
I had my counselor give me the velveteen rabbit and she signed it to the person who likes things real. It meant the world to me that she saw me this way and it is truly an amazing complement. I loved this podcast. So relatable. I, too, was adopted and I know this very much affected the rest of my life. Thanks for being real!
1 million percent agree on 7th grade. It was one of the worst years of my life and I felt so lost. I’m 38 now, but I still cringe thinking back to that time
Middle school is absolutely dreadful and, alongside factory compulsory schooling, should be abolished.
Such a fabulous episode about..PARENTING! Watching these pair of brilliant women speaking about their own “girling up” issues and their experiences being parents after, resonates a lot in this once rebel teenager now a proud mom of a well raised boy and recent grandma that always felt not having all the answers and needing to learn everyday!
But also knowing all of what Jodie went through (hard path with ADHD, drug adiction, recovery, etc..) overcoming it and blooming in such well furnished brain soul, makes me value even more the hard work done by Bev and Barry Bialik protecting their daughter.
Said that, I fully agree with Mayim hating the question “Why are so many child actors falling in drugs?”! Because their lives are the ones exposed openly to us, people! Or do you think it doesn’t happen in ALL society’s segments worldwide? I’d friends dead from overdose!
I've always that. Celebrities live in the public eye and paparazzi makes money off them, so we learn about all their imperfections. It's like celebrities aren't supposed to make bad decisions and mess up. Yet their bad decisions and imperfections exist everywhere (which is why Mayim has this show).
I was diagnosed in 2022 with ADHD at age 36 I do hope that I am able to learn more. It’s been so interesting learning things I thought were my “quirks” but actually aren’t. I was intense and loud all my life until half a year ago. I would love to be able to use it as my super power also. ❤
Canada definitely had TGIF!!!
Older millenial club.
Please have Andrea Barber as a guest!!
I remember everything since I was 2..its my adult years that I may not remember as well..cause my memory was sharper the younger I was..but the older I get..and the more problems I have in life the more vague it may get..because if an experience is not pleasant..I think subconsciously we bury it..and the good ones we want to remember..since I had a great mom..my childhood experience I remember everything..but frankly the last 20 years..since the world has changed so much ..my experiences are really not good!
Sounds just like me.
I think this might be one of my favorite episodes. She is incredible. Wow. What a fascinating woman.
I love Jodie. She’s so real.
Jodie Sweetin's commercial from Sizzler's with Leslie Jordan is on You Tube. She's adorable and so is Leslie. Gone too soon. He always made me laugh, a comedic genius .
I needed this so much. Especially the end, I relate to wanting to “reset” my life, but hearing Jodie talk about her coping skills and how she works through the feelings of wanting to run away was inspiration for me to keep holding on and question what I need this time ❤️ trying more self care in my life. Thank you for an amazing episode!
Jodie speaks to the character of Stephanie and where they intersect. Raven Symone has often said the same thing. Raven often speaks to how that wreaks havoc on her Mental Health growing up and the work she has put in to overcome it
Jodie really does still look like a teenager very surprising given her struggles with addiction. Good on her for overcoming those challenges! A wonderful episode. Now we need more Bevisodes please!!!
I grew up in Missouri and most everything was still closed on Sundays in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
There is a word for a set relationship…It’s work family... It’s not just on set. I had it for almost 30 years working for LVMPD. I miss my work family. I think family is an appropriate word.
That’s what I was thinking
jodie is such a sweetheart like she just seems so nice ☺️
I noticed the pink bunny thing too! I had no idea why steph didn’t give Jesse the bunny! I noticed that as a kid. What the heck?!
I could listen to Jodi and Mayim talk all day! This was amazing!
Omg! Jodi ! A true example of what inner work looks like. Bravo 🙌🏾
🙌🙌🙌
My 16y/o daughter recently was diagnosed with ADHD, in learning about it I've began to suspect that I too have ADHD and perhaps most of our family. I just thought that everyone had racing thoughts, easily distracted but hyperfocused, spoke quickly; I thought that was normal. Most of the people I knew with ADHD were male. I only recently have met females with it. I feel like I understand now why I struggled so much in some areas but excelled so much in others. Thank you for sharing. Been watching/listening to this Breakdown show a few weeks now. Loving it 😍 ❤️ Mayim is so relatable, I feel like we went to school together or something, growing up watching Blossom, there is a sense of familiarity. Thank you for Breaking it down!!💯
I am someone who was identified very early in age with having it. It can be a curse at times, but I agree with Jodi in that I think its my super power. The weird thing is while I was identified as having it early on, my sibling didnt realize they had it until adulthood. I have not met a lot of females that have been identified as having it, so I wonder if that was kind of a normal case in the 90s and 2000s?
Nurture vs. Nature. The Three Identical Strangers documentary that I watched was chilling. I'm a retired Parent Ed teacher and to stumble on this movie and to know the studies won't be published until 2066. It was heart wrenching what the triplets went through and how this happened. I love your interview and fascinating!
Ahh! I love Jodie Sweetin and I have ADHD. I listen to Never Thought I’d Say This so I’m excited to listen to this podcast!
This is my favorite episode so far. I love Jodi because she wanted to be a teacher. My parents were teachers and I got my teacher’s degree but I never taught. Instead, I got a Master’s from Dartmouth and now I work for people who have disabilities because I have spastic cerebral palsy.
What a wonderful episode... I just loved this honest and real conversation. Thank you!
Greetings from a 60-year old mom from Amsterdam who learned a lot from these two great women
(ánd Jonathan :-) ...)
I absolutely loved every second of this!!! Please have her back again!
I just love this podcast. The hosts. The guests. The information. The " aftershow". Thanks so much.
I discovered this podcast like two weeks ago and now I'm obsessed!
Mayim - I absolutely adore you and your platform for getting mentally healthy! Jodi Sweetin was fantastic and I loved this episode! Huge fan of both of you! Jonathan is definitely a keeper❤❤❤❤!
I am 63 and was not diagnosed with ADHD until my mid 40's.
Mind blown! What an incredible episode. So many diverse topics of interest to explore within!
This was one of the best episodes yet. Thank you so much for sharing!
I sent this to people I know who have been dx ADHD. Thank you for such an open and honest interview!
Might be the best episode so far! Loved hearing Jodie!
Wow! Incredible interview. Thank you for sharing. A must listen for all!
My heart breaks for her but so happy she’s leaning and forgiving it’s really uplifting
I loved this episode! I vote for a summary of each episode to be narrated by Jonathan in his calm soothing voice. (My boyfriend can't handle loud excited conversation but there's so much I wish he could get from these shows!) I love the passion you guys have for learning!
I started listening to this episode at work but had to restart it on my drive home because it was a very interesting balanced exchange in a conversation. Jodie was mindful in her listening & responses it's refreshing because sometimes we tend to hold conversations with people (even those without ADHD) & there's a sense that we aren't truly listened to or haven't truly honed in on a conversation that could otherwise give insight or a different depth to our perspectives. Bravo for always bringing on unlikely guest's that share their experiences & a variety of perspectives on so many types of mental health struggles. I appreciate the hard work that goes into creating each episode it has brought up so many moments of reflection for me. This was just a long winded thank you to both of you for one of my favorite podcasts!!!!
Just enjoyed this episode. My kid/teen self loved these two growing up. Loving them even more now 💕 many blessings and hugs to you and to Jonathan 🤗
Thank you for both the question and for the answer about wanting to run away.
Omg yassss this is just so amazing and I love the authentic conversation between you two and I just love you and Jodi and how open you two are.
It truly would be incredible an episode of you two, Jodi and Kelly Clarkson all on the same episode with how open you guys are it truly would be magic and something so special
I loved this so much!! As a kid I would have never thought I would be watching the two of you together at 40. I am so glad you both got together to do this, Blossom and Stephanie were my favorite to watch growing up and I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for the great podcast. ✨
Wow. I could have listened to these three talk for several hours. What a fun, fascinating episode.
Great educational program still learning to cope at 68 years thank you for this all of you are fantastic.
1ST I love watching this series. It baffles me sometimes on how your videos really allow me to visualize my life and look at different perspectives. This video has been so insightful. I can relate in some way, things that Jodie talked about. I appreciate you both. Thank you and keep'em coming!
It was refreshing to hear two public personalities share such a penetating, perspicacious conversation. While the art of acting does, by nature, involve a kind of high-level cognitive activity, it is clear that I have encountered two exceptionally bright minds with wonderful insights into the nature and constitution of the human person. Thanks!
Great great interview with Jodie. Could listen all day.
One of the purest, beautiful and enticing pieces I’ve watched, listened, learned from and truly loved in a very long time. Thank you.
Super amazing, wonderful, riveting interview ! Love it ! Insightful ! Great ! Thank you for sharing ! One of the best interviews I have ever seen !
This was one of the coolest interviews I’ve seen Jody do! Loved it! Learned a log
Thank you for this very nice conversation! I grew up with Steffie and I'm also the middle child. Mayim, you are just amazing!
every episode i feel this must be my favourite one-and then the next comes out - but this really has to be in my top 3 because jodi is really beyond amazing.thx to all of you for this beautiful heartwarming insightful episode💚
Such a TERRIFIC EPISODE to start 2023 with a blast! 💥
Lord, I must be the Jonathan’s friend he spoke about here! My GP diagnosed me with mild/severe ADHD recently at my 63! Tracking my life backwards as an hyperactive kid, a grown person that all of her life is a busy bee, never standing still, needing physical activity & guided meditation to download my brain a bit..yes, signals were there, but back then, as the elder of six siblings, my parents had few time to me. So I felt quite relieved with my diagnose, even if a late one. And very worried by my niece, who has a severe & handicapting ADHD..Asking myself how much of it is written in our DNA…
I goofily smiled watching Mayim fidgeting with plasticine along the episode as I am here, fidgeting with two little & rough fossile shells of my collection..I’m thinking of sending her some!💜
That was an EXCELLENT episode!! Thank you…
Just learning about my ADHD and autism at 36. Didn’t realize for some reason one could have both. Always loved Stephanie as a character (I’m also a middle child) and Jodie as a person and creative artist. So cool she’s directing!
I think Jodie is awesome. Thanks for having her on. Love you both too! Enjoy the podcasts!!
Omg this was so dang good!! Watching you two banter back and forth about how you grew up on the sets and how you’re parents now was amazing. Her overview of being able to manage so many things and yet lose her keys was on point for so many of us. Hint: just got an AirTag for my purse so I can always find it if I leave it somewhere.
Loved that she checked in Jonathan - that was awesome!
Just such a great discussion!!
❤❤❤
I'm about to start the video, and I can't wait to hear Jodie's story through your podcast. I loved her on Steve-O's Wild Ride. I'm really hoping to gain more insight into ADHD as my son was diagnosed with it around age 5. He's 16 now, and I have really been seeking out people's experiences with ADHD as an adult. I want to better prepare myself to help him navigate his teenage/early adult years.
Great show guys and Jodi is SWEET and so are you-Mayim and Jonathan! Thanks
To have my 2 favourite people from my childhood talk was a time warp. Thank you to the both of you, I found these topics you were talking about is very similar to that of hospitality believe me there's not much difference I'm a chef and can relate to alot of what was said I don't have adhd but high social anxiety due to trauma and it all sucks lol. Topics aside the 8 yr old me was screaming on the inside, blossom and full house was my zone out time when I was young, you guys got me through the abuse I suffered as a child. From the bottom of my heart thank you. ❤
Anyone getting diagnosed with ADHD need to read Carol Tuttle’s ‘The Child Whisperer’
Or ‘it’s just my nature’
A quarter of the world is going to end up ‘diagnosed’ with a condition which is just a set of natural traits, gifts and tendencies of one type of human, and not a disorder!
These people are the creatives with a gift for ideas and ability to multitask extremely well, they create an ambience of youthfulness and fun and will light up the room when living in their true nature. 💖
Thanks for the recommendations!
You are so very welcome. 💖
Such a pleasant comforting episode, thank you guys❤
Wow thankyou Mayim for such a great energy in your interview! Was wonderful...Darren in Australia 🇦🇺 🙂
I love Jodie and I can’t believe our adhd symptoms are so similar. I was voted most talkative in high school decades ago and in my work I talk constantly but much of it is the level of detail I can hold in my head even now and the speed with which I process. A super power and the opposite, where did I put my phone and did I take my medicine and what day is it 😂
I have been on a binge and I loved this.
I found this entire interview so powerful. All three of you contributed important points that helped me begin to process more of my own story. Thank you so much for the comfortable flow that allows us to learn new things. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
I just discovered your podcast! So I will be binge watching all day to catch up. Have this episode tuned in right now. I live in Canada. Nova Scotia. Here our stores were closed on Sundays until October of 2006! Even in Toronto, Ontario, our stores were closed on Sundays for much longer than in the States. I wish very much that the "Blue law", still existed. People who work in stores never get a break. Love your pod cast! So enjoyed Rosie O'Donnell.
I love this episode! It's informative, intelligent, and well articulated. Jodie's a great guest.
Wonderful episode❤️BIG fan of Full & Fuller House. Loved hearing from Jodi - hearing her perspective and experiences. Appreciate hearing about experiences from kids/adults with ADHD, as my son was diagnosed at 10 yrs old & is now almost 16 yrs. Understanding my son’s experience is very important to me. Thank you😊
This is a great podcast. Mayim asked great questions and Jodi's response to them were wonderful. I grew up watching you both & I feel like they are my life long friends!
I really needed this camaraderie guys 🐥 pretty sure it's called oobleck. It's like quicksand ... I remember pouring orange juice in my cereal when I was full, looking forward to afternoon preschool when I could finally take a nap... mom didn't get up until the crack of noon
I loved Jonathan’s example of getting physical symptoms because you couldn’t have feelings. That happened in our family.
Whoah that’s a big thing. Idk if o missed it or didn’t happen yet but I’d love a time stamp
1:15:11
I love Jodie. She puts it all out there. And great she's open with her girls.
I resonated with "not having needs." Johnathan's childhood experience that he shared towards the end was really helpful.
Fantastic episode! Wow, so many things have been put into perspective for me. Thank you for this amazing breakdown 💛
I work as a producer, but have been in the entertainment production industry since my tween years, I also wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until college and this is the most relatable thing. I too feel the production environment is/was the best place for me.
Ohhhh, I've been waiting for a Jodie episode! ❤️
This was most informative discussions I’ve heard about child stars and makes total sense. I can understand why it would be irritating to get questions about why child stars go astray. It’s absolutely correct we’re all humans and have issues. I can completely relate to not being allowed to have any emotional needs as a child. The difference is for the rest of us we do not have to work our issues in front of the world. This really helped normalize the child stars to me and make them very relatable. It’s also encouraging & provides so much hope to hear people being so transparent about working through their lives. Thank you to both Jodie & Mayim for being so honest.
Mayim, thank you so much for this podcast. This episode was fantastic. I remember after having my first daughter the guilt and at the time didn't know I had PPD/A. I believe I said something similar that Jode said. If we could have worked out our own issues first and then become a parent the difference it
What a great episode! I suffer from ADHD and was diagnosed after 43 years of suffering from it. Also I live in France and I also give my dog natural food like Nom nom, only here it is called Dog Chef, and it's awesome for him!!
What a meaningful conversation. ❤️
