The “why” tends to be super important to ADHDers. If you have a neurodivergent brain, it’s probably helpful for you to be in tune with what’s important to you and what the benefits are. Keep asking yourself why until you get down to the main motivation. Creating routines can be helpful but only if you’re actually in tune with what you want and need. Ready for 1:1 ADHD Coaching?

Changing habits can be completely daunting, especially when you have executive dysfunction.

It’s easy to get caught up in perfectionism and then avoid the task altogether and then get into a shame cycle...

KC Davis' book How to Keep House While Drowning was truly life-changing for me and I don't feel that way about books often.

PMDD and autism have a very high correlation, but what about PMDD and other neurodiversities?

People with ADHD experience discrimination in the workplace every day, much of it isn’t intentional but due to a lack of understanding.

Today Justin Gillespie LMSW-Clinical joi...

Many other diagnoses can have sensory differences like autism and sensory processing disorder just to name a couple. Today we’re talk...

ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, autism, all have sooo many similarities. It can be challenging to navigate what’s the “root” and what’s a “symptom”. For me, executive dysfunction fuels anxiety. Wanna work together? 💌 admin@doihaveadhdpodcast.com
