In the past two years, I've come to realize that unlearning some of my beliefs and some of my habits were just as important as learning the new set of.
Hello. Hello. I am so excited today I have a very special guest, Dr. Ta Lupe au.

A D H D is a diagnosis and so I'm so happy to have her here today to share her experience about why she is doing what she's doing.
Dr. Totulope Alugo: Thank you so much. Thank you for having me today.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Awesome. You have a son, is it a son or a daughter that was diagnosed with a
Dr. Totulope Alugo: No, I don't. I just have I'm, cause I'm a psychiatrist, I deal with this every day in my clinic.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Gotcha. So it feels like you have a thousand kids, huh? ?
Dr. Totulope Alugo: Yes. They're like my kids really
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yes. Yes. Because you see them grow up. , you see them from day one and all the way till they're 18, so it feels like you, you have a thousand kids. . .
Dr. Totulope Alugo: I watch them go from elementary school to, they go to university. So I'm like a mom in that area. ?
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yes. So tell me what got you into this special like niche, because I know you could focus on anything.
You could focus on why this tell me.
Dr. Totulope Alugo: I did a general residency in psychiatry, but then I did a rotation in child adolescent psychiatry and I just, Really loved it because I realized that I had an opportunity for early intervention because I believe that if you can intervene early, you can change a child's trajectory.
And you can also help a family really early by treating a child.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yes. Yes. You're so correct. I'm often. Shocked how it makes such a difference as we're growing up, right? Things that people might do can really. Enhance or sometimes not so much enhance how we ourselves interact with the world, and especially before the age of seven.
It can make a big difference, but that doesn't mean that you can't unlearn or you can't support them later on when more knowledge comes. comes along. Of
Dr. Totulope Alugo: course, of course. Whenever you get an intervention, it's always helpful. Yes.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: . What have you noticed that, when you do tell mom or dad, hey, your kid has a D H D, what have you noticed is usually the reaction.
Dr. Totulope Alugo: We get a variety of reactions. For some parents they already know because they already see the challenges at home school is telling them Your child is different. They're on the go all the time. Teachers are stressed out. So personally, for those kids who are hyperactive or impulsive, parents are almost always.
Already have a great idea. A few parents would say, oh, he's protect the younger ones. They're just boisterous. And so that way they bit up reluctant. But for the inattentive ones, I find they're being diagnosed much later and parents are saying things like, they're careless, they're lazy, they're just not paying attention to detail.
So it's really a mixed bag that I get.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
