Hey ADHDer!

On this episode we are chatting with a listener just like you! Amanda Keener walks us through her later in life diagnosis, what it's like to be the wife of an ADHDer, and her favorite dopamine filling activities.

Amanda's Bio:
I'm a 37 year old twin mama to 8 year old girls. I currently work as a virtual assistant/project manager and have multiple side hustles to go along with it. I have been with my husband for 15 years and really just enjoy being together with my family and friends.

I see myself as a visionary and optimist yet I've just really felt something was not right with me.  I can never manage to be the person I want to be and fall short in a lot of areas. My memory has always struggled, I am the queen of procrastination, late to (almost) everything, messy and disorganized, and generally refer to myself as a hot mess. Everything has always felt like chaos and I just have never understood how people have even a fraction of their life together. All of this was multiplied by having children. I've been trying to "fix" me my entire life through consuming all things personal development & self-help. 

It wasn't until this year (2022) when I fell in to the rabbit hole of ADHD and had never identified with ANYTHING as strongly as I did with it. I decided to seek a diagnosis and it was clear to my psychiatrist that I was indeed ADHD. Now I'm just on a journey of self-awareness and learning how to be the best me while trying to cope with the fact that I will always have limitations.

Hey ADHDer or Mental Health Friend!

Today we are talking about all things ANTs... yes there is a discussion about the little insect guys but really this is all about AUTOMATIC NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. Did you know your brain has up to 70,000 thoughts in a day!?!? (insert mind blown emoji here)

On today's episode we are: 

• breaking down why we have negative thoughts and how those negative thoughts can become quite the habit. 
• discussing the negative effects of ANTs
• going over a therapy technique I've learned to help you manage the ANTs (the ABCD method)
  • A- Activating Event (the "trigger")
  • B- Beliefs (How did you interpret the trigger; what did you say about yourself- what is the messaging)
  • C- Consequences (how do you feel about the thought; what was your response; any behavioral consequences)
  • D- Dispute it (ask if this thought is irrational or unrealistic; what is the evidence supporting the thought)

I found a way to use the clinical skills I had developed in my practice and hold on to the work I love so much - write a friggin’ book. I Got 99 Coping Skills and Being a B*tch Ain’t One is a quippy, evidence-based guide to help individuals find better, healthy coping skills. We all know life can be unimaginably challenging. It brings stress and grief, anxiety and angst, but that doesn't mean we should lose hope.

Hey ADHDer or Mental Health Warrior!

On today's episode we are getting real about what success looks like in life. It's a short episode but one I hope you find inspiring. It's easy to get lost in the world's "one-size-fits all" messaging, especially when you are struggling with low self-esteem or identity issues in your ADHD journey. 

BUT remember... you get to define YOUR success...

I hope you enjoy today's episode. 

XOXO,
Kristina
