In this weeks episode I’ll be wrapping up season one. I’m going to take a little break from the pocast, but I will be back! So in this episode, I’m essentially the client because I will take you through some of the processes I went through it getting this podcast up and running and making it to 15 episodes. Hooray!

I’ll share some of the narratives I had come to believe and how they could have been (and definitely have been in the past) a huge barrier preventing me from doing this thing I wanted to do.

I’ll also share how my ADHD of course popped up along the way and how I supported myself instead of beating myself up for not being able to do it differently.

Thanks so much for listening along! I hope you come back and listen to any of these episodes whenever you’re needing some validation, empathy, support, or are just missing me!

In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was really feeling really ashamed of her own behavior towards her partner and was really confused about what had caused her to act the way she did.

We will talk about the emotions that can cause us to say and do things that we really don't feel proud of, and why sometimes those actions just continue to escalate and we feel powerless to stop or change course.

We also talk about why when feeling certain emotions such as rejection or sadness or self doubt, we might end up turning to emotions such as anger, resentment and irritation because those are emotions that we can express and expel outwardly and at others as opposed to emotions that feel stuck and like they will consume us.

If you've ever found yourself picking fights, making passive aggressive comments, or behaving in relationships in ways you're really not proud of, maybe this episode can help bring some awareness as to why. We're not looking for excuses, we're looking for explanations so that we can better understand what is driving our behavior and feel more empowered to disrupt those patterns in the future.

This weeks episode is the Part 2 from a session I had with a client who wanted to clean her fridge but was finding herself putting it off day after day. Last episode we uncovered some of the thoughts that were likely keeping her in avoidance, and this week I'll address the "so now what?" part of coaching.

Knowing why you're avoiding something is half the battle. Understanding and validating your reasons for it, doesn't make the thing magically easier to do! So rather than just willing or pressuring ourselves to get going, we have to approach it in a way that actually works for us and sets us up for success.

We will go over which specific executive functions are needed for the task at hand (hint, it's a whole bunch of them) and different strategies she can utilize to support each one.

If you're wanting more practical tips for how to help yourself get started on that thing you've been meaning to do for weeks, months, maybe even years, hopefully this episode will provide you with just that.

In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was feeling a lot of shame around not being able to manage certain household tasks. She had been putting off cleaning out her refrigerator for weeks and was frustrated with herself for not getting it done.

We talked about how certain emotions such as shame and guilt were likely responsible for her avoidance of the task, along with the fact that it actually requires a great deal of executive functioning to manage the contents of a refrigerator and to maintain it!

In this first part of this 2 part episode, we really uncovered some thoughts and beliefs of hers that make it hard for her to find ways to support her ADHD including things she "should" be able to do.

If you find yourself saying "I 'should' be able to do" xyz about all kinds of things, then I think this episode will really help you see how often times that's exactly what is preventing you from actually doing it.

This weeks episode is about Anger. It was inspired by a session I had with a client who had really been resisting feeling angry, which was something I could very much relate to. I have always HATED feeling angry and have spent a lot of energy trying to NOT be angry.

Anger can be a really strong and sometimes scary emotion. And sometimes anger can drive people to doing or say thigs they regret (when they can no longer tolerate the feeling) or to just totally shutting down and feeling stuck (when they are trying to avoid or push down the feeling).

Allowing yourself to feel anger AND learning how to tolerate that feeling without being driven by it, is only part of the equation. Because anger can feel like energy building in your body and that energy needs some kind of release.

So today I'll be discussing what I've learned about why it's so important to not only acknowledge anger and allow yourself to feel it, but also how to recognize when it's time to release some of that energy as well as some different ways of doing so.

In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was really wanting to get back into a morning routine after having stopped her previous morning routine a few months ago. We really dive into the VERY complicated relationship those of us with ADHD can have with routines. I'll share how perfectionism and black and white thinking were contributing to her difficulty deciding on a routine, and then share what we really uncovered as the root cause of why she wasn't starting a new one.

Routines CAN be great for ADHDers but they can also be one more thing on the dreaded to do list and one more reason for us to beat ourselves up when we're not following them. If you struggle with routines, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode and then maybe begin the process or reassessing the purpose of some of these routines and whether or not you actually want to keep them around.

In this weeks episode, I’ll be sharing part two of a session that started with being trapped by a to do list, and later shifted into coaching and a discussion about hyperfocus. Last week I talked about a client who was stopping herself from a fun project for fear that she would hyperfocus on it and be pulled into what she referred to as “the vortex”

I’ll talk about my personal experience with “the vortex,” share some reasons why people with ADHD may have a tendency to hyperfocus, and discuss how understanding this can help us shift the way we view our hyperfocus which in turn can solve nothing and everything at the same time.

If you are someone who really struggles to not hyperfocus on things or maybe avoids things because you worry you might end up hyper focusing on them, this episode is really here to normalize all of it.

In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was feeling overwhelmed and trapped by all the things she felt like she had to do . I will share how we uncovered some difficult experiences from her past that were contributing to the feeling of being trapped, how ADHD played a role in it all, and how this was actually preventing her from doing anything!

I'll also talk about the importance of verbal processing for people with ADHD and how it can help make the to-do list feel more manageable as it allows us to organize and prioritize tasks as well as solve problems that were preventing us from getting started.

If you are someone who feels tied to a never ending to-do list, I hope this episode offers some insight and support!
