For me, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) has been the most challenging and debilitating part of managing my ADHD. This is when you experience an intense physiological reaction and emotional spiral after receiving perceived rejection or criticism. In this episode, I talk about some of the ways this has manifested in my career and prevented me from making consistent progress in my business (in the past). I also share my top 3 tips for managing RSD, so you can stop letting your emotions run the show and get back in the driver's seat of your own career.

Whether you're considering embarking on your first degree or are returning after a long absence — or are maybe even already studying and considering changing subjects — the decision to start college/uni as an adult is a biiiig one. And, it's one that can change the trajectory of your life and career for the better! But, it also requires a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice (and money!) In this episode, I share my personal journey of starting and stopping five different degrees, and everything I've learned along the way. I also share the three essential questions to ask yourself, to determine if starting that degree or program is the right option for you.

In this episode, we're talking all about porfolio careers. I share how I've created a varied, fulfulling and energizing career over the last decade — going from burnt-out journalist to owner of a multifaceted self-development brand. I'll also share the benefits of a porfolio career, and why I think this is such a perfect career choice for ADHD and highly sensitive women.

Today, we are talking all about leading and lagging metrics. These are data points used by organisations to predict and measure business performance. But, they can also be applied to self-development, as a way to measure your progress towards your goals. Chances are, you're putting way too much stock in your lagging metrics, and not enough energy into changing your leading metrics. Here's how to stop looking in the rear-view mirror and stay focused on the road ahead.

Studying — and actually succeeding — with ADHD is no easy feat. That's something I learned the hard way, when I did my entire first university degree (Journalism) and 3/4 of my second one (Psychology) unmedicated! However, the upside of that was: I was forced to find productivity and study aid tools that helped me push through the procrastination and distraction, and get stuff done.  In this podcast, I share my top 5 tools for studying with ADHD (note: many of these tools, I use for getting work done in general — so definitely still check it out even if you're not studying!) I also share some of my personal journey of studying, including what it's like to do a Graduate Diploma of Psychology as a mature-aged student.  Note: None of these tools are sponsored, these are just things that have genuinely helped me and I wanted to share! I hope you enjoy these study hacks for people with ADHD.  

The 5 tools I mention are:

Welcome to the new series of the podcast, now called The Progress Podcast!

So, I was recently diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at the age of 29…   And while it’s true that people with ADHD struggle executive function, organisation, and planning, I personally believe I’m productive because of my ADHD, not in spite of it.  So, in today’s episode, I wanted to clear up some of the biggest misconceptions I see around about ADHD, and some of the biggest lessons ADHD has taught me about productivity along the way.
