If you struggle to be on time or stick to a schedule (especially one that you created for yourself), get easily sidetracked by interruptions, and/or often don’t keep your promises to yourself, then you are not alone… and this episode was made for you! Aly and Sam discuss how and why we experience these challenges when making transitions, and what we can do about it.

In this episode, real-life friends Aly and Sam explore the interactive relationship between ADHD and Anxiety (such as GAD and OCD) from the perspective of their own personal lived experiences and individual professional practices as ADHD coaches. They touch upon the impact of misdiagnosis and late diagnosis, ways to address intrusive thoughts and disrupt rumination, effective treatment and self-care practices, the importance of connection, and other strategies to better manage both ADHD and Anxiety to improve one's quality of life during the age of COVID-19.

Weekly Challenge: Our challenge is to come up with your own checklist(s) or set of rules for your household (with those that you live with)!

If making the rules list or the checklist doesn't speak to you, you could also share with us:

—> What you do to keep your brain engaged.

—> Are there new skills or hobbies that you want to start?

—> What gives you energy?

You can share it with us here (we would love to see your challenges!):
