#219 Preheat the Project Oven

Nov 19 2024 7 mins

With ADHD, projects can be overwhelming… take for example: making dinner. There are soooo many steps that you need to take – choosing a recipe, chopping vegetables, getting out the ingredients, etc. We can get bogged down with all the steps, end up with lots of frustration and resistance, give up and order out (or pour a bowl of cereal). But what if you did some of the st

#218 Menopause and ADHD

Nov 12 2024 15 mins

If you're a woman over 40, you might be wondering why your ADHD symptoms are going haywire. Or you might be looking up the diagnosis wondering if you have ADHD when it had never occurred to you before. Welcome to menopause (and the precursor stage before it called perimenopause). During this phase of life, many women find it tougher to manage their ADHD and treatment adjustme

#217 Practice the Pause

Nov 05 2024 13 mins

Learning when and how to take a break is a really important skill for managing ADHD. We need to be mindful of ourselves, but just being aware isn’t enough. To really manage ADHD effectively, we need to pay attention to our thoughts and actions AND make changes when necessary. What we really need is a moment to pause—a quick second to stop and adjust our actions away from

#216 Stop Empty Commitments

Oct 29 2024 12 mins

Your friend asks if you want to do something and you say, "YES!" And you truly mean that YES with the best of intentions. You want to do it. But for a whole list of possible reasons, you don't follow through. This is an example of making an empty commitment. Saying yes and not following through damages our relationships with other people and ourselves so we need to watch out

#215 Be Vulnerable

Oct 22 2024 6 mins

Let's take a bit of a break right now and check in...how are you doing? Really. Because I've noticed that many people are having a rough time right now which is impacting their mental, emotional and physical health. You don't have to be strong alone and pretend that nothing is wrong. Listen in. Get support. Be vulnerable. You are not alone.

#214 All or Nothing Thinking

Oct 15 2024 13 mins

Earlier this week, one of my private coaching clients said: "When you have ADHD, you live in the gray, but think in the black and white." What this means is that we view things in extremes, there's no middle ground. It's all or nothing. And this cognitive distortion touches everything to do with ADHD leading us to struggle, procrastinate, get things started, manage emotions a

#213 Building ADHD Habits: Where to Start? (Replay Ep 197)

Oct 08 2024 15 mins

The fall season has officially started which means that you've probably shifted into a different daily / weekly schedule than you had over the summer. And if you have ADHD, at this point, you may be a bit overwhelmed. Because when we transition into a new chapter, we often jump into the change and expect to be able to do everything at once. But this sets us up for failure. M

#212 Can You Reinvent ADHD? (Replay Ep 195)

Oct 01 2024 19 mins

If you tuned into Episode 210 - Dealing with Difficult Times, then you know I've been dealing with some family challenges that resulted in a topsy turvy summer. So I'm doubling down on who I want to be. And that is someone who cares, delivers and shows up...and I'm showing up this week for the podcast in a different way and sharing a replay of one of my most popular episodes in

#211 Tie Up the Loose Ends First

Sep 24 2024 12 mins

One of the hallmarks of ADHD is leaving things unfinished. We struggle to take things to the end step. Small tasks, big projects. We also struggle to get things started and find ourselves easily distracted by other shiny things. The result? We’ve got lots of half finished tasks and chores that cause clutter, confusion and a general mess of overwhelm. One of my delightful a

#210 Dealing with Difficult Times

Sep 17 2024 12 mins

Life is tough. There's no way around it. We have to deal with so much in our external world that we can't control. So much stress and overwhelm. And this summer for me was definitely rough. So I have been thinking about dealing with difficult times. And what I do. When I am faced with a challenge, I ask myself: who do I want to be? How does this work for me? Spend about 1
