See in ADHD

What is productivity shame?

Well, I didn't come up with the name. In fact I stole it from Jocelyn K. Glei. I highly recommend her podcast called Hurry Slowly and her website.

If you sat down and tracked how many hours of your day you spend checking email, scrolling, texting and otherwise avoiding your own thoughts - I guarantee you would be shocked.

We fritter away so much time on useless activities.

Sometimes we do it so we appear busy and in demand, while other times we are actually trying to escape our own thoughts or the problems in our lives.

The same thing happens to stay-at-home-moms, EXCEPT we have much less tolerance for, "wasted time," when a woman works in the home.

In this episode you will hear:

- Productivity Shame

- False productivity and business

- The difference between speed and efficiency

- Multitasking does NOT work

- Less doing. More Being.

- Energy management leads to productivity

For many people diagnosed as adults, the stages of the emotional tornado might feel similar to the stages of grief.

Denial, Relief, Regret, Sorrow, Anger, Guilt. All the emotions show up.

They say that ignorance is bliss. And sometimes, "knowing" doesn't make things easier, it makes things more complicated.

Listen in as Rick Green and I discuss the emotional landscape of life after the adhd diagnosis.

In this episode you will hear:

-After you've struggled for so long, the profound to realization that you are NOT alone

-The "death" of the old you, or who you were before the diagnosis

-Challenges and barriers to diagnosis

-The Evolution of Totally ADD

-The big issue of how ADHD shows up in your life, and your sense of self

-The stages of dealing with the diagnosis

-Anger, depression, and feeling things sooooo deeply

-Staying open to therapy and other support, even when you want to resist

-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - that you can apply yourself!

-Living the ADHD (reactive) life - and learning the power of the PAUSE

-Learning to externalize and manage self-talk

ADHD women and mothers need support and connection. And we often don't get it.

You've probably joined some of the Facebook groups. And you've probably experienced why that doesn't really "connect" us.

ADHD in adult women is still widely unrecognized and misunderstood. Many of us are stumbling through life, not sure of how to handle our lives.

What is the one thing we all have in common?

We want to feel understood and accepted. And we want to feel less overwhelmed and burned out.

That's my job. In the ADHD Enclave show you that a totally flawed, disorganized, flaky ADHD mom can build a life that she loves and a business that makes an impact.

It's not easy, but it is possible.

I set out to create a safe space where we could talk openly about all of the issues.

Whether you have been recently diagnosed, or you have been living in hiding for years, I invite you in.

Lets get real about all of it.

Because I'm forty and I just don't care as much any more about appealing to everyone. What's that expression?

If you try to serve everyone, then you end up serving no-one.

In this episode you will hear me get real (With a little help from the Velveteen Rabbit) about ten realizations I've come to in my forty years on earth.

-Nobody has a perfect childhood (your kids won't either)

-Children are more perceptive than we like to believe

-School is great, but an EDUCATION is what really matters

-Look for mentors, you will need them

-You need female friends

-People suck sometimes

-People are also amazing and profound and confusing

-Practice tolerating discomfort

-Learn how to ask for what you need

-Keep it real. Always.

ADHD and self-compassion are not often discussed together, but they can coexist.

As you learn more about how your ADHD brain is wired and what works you will eventually (I promise) get to a place where you are ready to move forward, and practice self-compassion.

The Negative Thought Vortex of ADHD, combined with the Executive Function difficulties inherent to the condition, make it difficult to manage emotions, plan ahead, and maintain meaningful relationships.

You will certainly have days that feel like a struggle.

But you will also have progress. And days where you feel like anything is possible.
