From ADHD to Amaze-Ability

Dr. Dawn Kamilah Brown is a child and adult psychiatrist who brings serious medical credentials to a show with an optimistic name. From ADHD to Amaze-Ability takes a lifestyle optimization approach, looking at ADHD management through multiple lenses: medical, nutritional, educational, and relational. The "Champion Your ADHD" framework she uses positions ADHD traits as potential strengths when properly understood and supported. Dr. Brown's episodes cover both children and adults with ADHD, which is actually useful for parents -- understanding your own possible ADHD traits helps you parent a child with ADHD more effectively. Topics range from medication management and therapy options to nutrition, sleep hygiene, exercise, and building self-advocacy skills. Her psychiatric background means she can speak authoritatively about brain chemistry and pharmacology in ways that a coach or educator simply cannot. The show has been running since 2018 and delivers episodes in a mix of solo commentary and guest interviews. Dr. Brown's style is professional but warm, and she's particularly good at explaining complex neurological concepts without jargon. As a Black woman in psychiatry, she also brings important perspective on how ADHD presents differently across racial and cultural contexts -- an angle that's woefully underrepresented in the podcast space. For parents who want a medically grounded but holistic view of their child's ADHD, this show offers a perspective that's hard to find elsewhere.
