ADHDFest

This week on ADHDFest, we're diving into a topic that often feels elusive for those of us with ADHD: WILLPOWER 💪

Join me, as I unpack the complexities of willpower, how it differs from discipline, and why traditional advice often falls short for us neurodivergent peeps.

Using a blend of personal experience and researched psychological insights, you will learn the surprising definition of willpower and how it intersects with our daily lives. With actionable tips on how to approach tasks in a way that aligns with ADHD tendencies, this episode is designed to help you build momentum and improve your productivity without overwhelming yourself.

But that's not all! Stick around until the end of the episode for an exciting announcement, brand-new to ADHDFest 🎉

So this week has been a sticky one for me, podcast wise. If you listened to last week's episode you will know why. But in a nutshell, I am away from home, with no quiet space to record in and no real technical set up even if I did 😭. So rather than miss a week/put out something I don't feel proud of, I thought I would look back through the past 60 or so episodes since ADHDFest's inception and put 5 of my favourite snippets all here for you in one handy dandy episode.

Yes, it's always better to get an in depth view with a full episode on each topic but let's face it, with ADHD, we don't always have the patience to sit through 5 full episodes 😂! A summary of 5 in 1 is so much better than none.

I will be back next week with your usual content but for now, please enjoy!

Episode Titles Included:

1 - Are You always Late? How to Combat ADHD Time Blindness

2 - Diary of an ADHD Burnout

3 - 4 Simple steps to make New Habits Easy

4 - ADHD Task Paralysis: Most Effective Hack

5 - Your Neurotype has Nothing to do with Your Worth

School holidays, an emergency situation and FOUR big family occasions in ONE week has knocked me well and truly on my a**e this week 😮‍💨.

So here I am, warts and all, making mistakes so you don't have to. Whether it's down to events beyond your control, or just good old ADHD burnout, I'm going to help you get back on track, holding your hand with every step. Enjoy!!

This week's episode covers a topic very close to my heart ❤️. It is the area I am most proud of and have made the most progress in since my diagnosis.

Studies have show there are a wealth of ADHD specific benefits associated with supportive social connections, including better overall health, a stronger immune system, improved academic or career performance, and higher life satisfaction 🙌✨

Written words don't do it justice so I'll leave the episode to do it's thing, make sure you listen all the way through as the tips keep coming!

I cannot WAIT for you to try this because it's blowing my mind 🤯.

Little naive me has always desperately tried to stick to a schedule. I long for habit and routine! But those of us with ADHD have come to the painful realisation - it's damn near impossible 😮‍💨... until now. Yes, at the grand old age of 37, I suspect I've cracked it 💪

The first of the two strategies I've dipped in and out of for a while, as it does work well for the short time I can keep consistent with it. But when I recently discover the second strategy and paired the two together, that's when the magic started to happen.✨

I really hope this works as well fo you as it has been for me but as always.... remember this is trial and error. There's no one size fits all but there is a fit for YOU.

✨ If you're in the ADHDFest Facebook group, you will already be familiar with this tool as we have been trying it out together with a daily live body doubling session for the last couple of weeks 😉. If you're not in there, here's your sign to join! 🙌

This is super simple hack I stumbled upon (sort of by accident 😂) that just so happens to work!! This is not for when you're already stuck in paralysis, it to pre empt it. Particularly useful when you're in full blown overwhelm, I'm keen to see how you get on with it, so do let me know!

P.S. It's very simple and easy but don't let that put you off trying it. It's often the simple, easy, things we NDs struggle with 💪

Hello my lovely ADHDFest gang ❤️

This Bonus episode shares my best tips to reduce those pesky side effects when you first try ADHD medication 😬. I'm posting as a bonus rather than a regular Friday episode as this is not going to be relevant to everyone but....

Great for those in that titration spot right now or anyone curious about some of the tougher parts of stimulants. 🙌

Maybe you're still deciding whether to try meds or not.🤔 But here are some things that got me through the dry mouth, low appetite etc.

As always DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, psychiatrist or medical expert - please consult your doctor before taking medication or adjusting your dose etc.

📖 Ready for story time???

Today's episode came straight from the divine 🔮. I'm serious! During a meditation I felt pulled to tell you about my day and I had no idea why. It didn't seem to connect to ADHD or the Law of Attraction at all but my intuition kept nudging me all the same. So I sat down to reflect on what happened and how you might find value in it and IT HIT ME! It turns out it might just be one of the most important lessons we late diagnosed ADHDers need to internalise 🙌✨

Slightly longer at just over 30 minutes but if you can stay with me to the end, I know you can benefit.

In today's episode we're doing some serious myth busting 💪

Using studies, statistics and my personal experience I'm diving into 10 of the most prolific myths surrounding ADHD and why they simply cannot be true. It's easy to attack people that believe and perpetuate this nonsense, write them off as dumb, ableist, old fashioned prejudiced bigots - but the truths is ...I spent a long time believing this stuff myself! 🤯😬 It's such a big topic and so new to mainstream awareness, it's possible there are things on this list that will come as a shock to you.

We don't know what we don't know. Most of our "knowledge" is picked up through osmosis from society, family, headlines and social media "experts" and we don't always have the time to research into these big complex topics until it directly affects our every day lives. All we can do is educate ourselves and if we have the energy, educate others too - this episode is my contribution 😊

One thing to remember is, it's what you know that matters. You don't need to convince anyone of anything, ever. Being honest with yourself about who you are without judgement and making decisions from there is the only thing within your control.

......that and subscribing to the podcast 😉 Rate, Review, Subscribe, Screenshot and Share! Particularly with those you think need to hear this, it really makes all the difference, thank you 🙌
