The Quiet ADHD Podcast

We may not realise it but how you are, what you say and do, has an impact that goes beyond those immediately around us. So not only do we affect others when we’re tired, overwhelmed or stressed, but also when we’re energised, relaxed and happy…

In this episode we look at:

• Research that shows just how far-reaching an affect we can have on other people
• How that questions the idea that taking care of your own needs and desires is selfish
• I share an example of how I saw the ripple effect for myself
• What the ripple effect means for how we treat ourselves

When we ‘what if’ we’re usually thinking about what if it went wrong, what if I messed up, what if I can’t do it, what if it’s awful… but there are two sides to what ifs and there’s power in allowing ourselves to imagine what if it went right.

In this episode we look at:

• Our beliefs around what choices and power we think we have
• The flipside of our standard what ifs
• The magic in the possibility of our hopes and dreams
