I did 100 of a thing! F&*K yeah, that's a big deal! Seems fitting to discuss the small, scared child in my brain that we know as Imposter Syndrome, and I'll share one of my methods for "keep on keepin' on" when all inner dialogue is pointing towards "stop this charade at once!"

Today I'm taking a look at what I've learned making 100 episodes. The imposter syndrome, the scared kid in me, and my gratitude to this amazing community of ADHD adults.  Got ADHD/Depression and need a community? We got you! Hang out for a mo...

If you are like me (ADHD/co-morbid depression) then you most likely know HOW to get things done, but for some reason moving forward can feel impossible. There's an inner tension, an inner war with the brain, trying to break out of paralysis. To a normie, it probably resonates as laziness. To me, inside my head, it resonates as a chaotic and paralyzing level of self-loathing. It's pretty sucktastic.

In today's short episode (15m) I talk about how I move forward and break out of paralysis. This is the tool that works for me.

What tool(s) work for you?

If you get nothing else from this episode, please know that when you give 50%, that's more than likely a normie 100%. It's scientific math...don't fact check me on it... ; An ADHD hyperfocus is equal to a normie 200%, so when people ask me why I'm...

ADHD can be stress-tastic. On top of the life stresses we all feel, there's additional crap that compounds... like the stress of not being able to do the s**t we know how to do but for some reason aren't doing it...the stress from being overwhelmed by s**t to do but not being able to wrap our head around it enough to be productive and move forward. And all that stress from our impulsive reactions to the perceived slights of others. Oh boy do we know how to get butthurt!

Today I'm talking about stress. FUN!

Episode 78. I can't believe I've done 78 of these. I can taste 100....mmmm, tastes a little bit like chicken. Interesting!

Still stoked about the Adam Savage mention (so damn cool) and in this one I'm really making an appeal for externalizing accountability and offering a few ways that you can do that! Take a listen!

Want a sneak peak on what I've been building?

I've been exploring how I can best serve adults with ADHD, and this is my most affordable iteration. You can currently explore it as a guest, there are certain areas that are open up to everyone, with some helpful videos.

One of the biggest issues that we have is our accountability to ourselves. We know the stuff we want to do, we even know HOW to do it, but for some reason we aren't doing it.

It's possible to overcome this by externalizing our accountability. Too much to write about in a facebook post, but if you click the post and visit the welcome guest section you'll get my opinions on the matter!

Hope you are having a good weekend!

Episode 76 is out! The one where we discuss this "superpower" of ours: hyperfocus.
