When you think of ADHD-what do you picture? 

My mind jumps to a young boy bouncing off the walls, tapping his foot, and unable to sit still. So imagine my surprise when I found myself being diagnosed with ADHD. My diagnosis helped lead to a lot of understanding, when it came to why certain situations triggered me more than I thought that they should.  In this episode, I am talking with Christina Crowe, as we discuss what ADHD is and all of the common misconceptions..especially when it comes to women!

Christina discusses how all of the symptoms of ADHD are additive. Meaning that if ADHD is undiagnosed, it can lead to anxiety. Then, in return undiagnosed anxiety can then lead to depression. As women, we are so quick to take care of our children, husbands, and families. We are quick to find solutions when one of our loved ones is struggling with something, yet when we are struggling we still tend to put ourselves on the back burner.  I am here to tell you, you are not a better mom for constantly sacrificing yourself for your kids. Your health and well-being are  JUST AS important. If you have a feeling that something is “off” in yourself, it is your job to advocate for yourself too.

Listen to this episode to learn more about the red flags that you may not have been aware of when it comes to ADHD, how it can be diagnosed, and how it can be treated. 

Episode Highlights: 

• Misconceptions of ADHD
• ADHD in women 
• Additive symptoms of ADHD

Do you ever feel like you’re always behind- comparing yourself to other people who seem to have it “more together” than you? You are NOT alone! 

Today we are chatting with Shannon Leyko, author of the book, You are Completely Normal. Shannon’s book speaks on how as moms we always feel behind in all aspects of  our life, and constantly compare our journey to everyone else’s journey around us.  In today’s world we are taught that success should be linear and cookie cutter, when in reality success can be a messy ride, full of highs and lows. It’s easy to fall into the “robotic” lifestyle of going through the same motions day in and day out- but isn’t life meant to be more?

In this episode we talk about our tendency to get stuck in this fear/comparison trap- where we are scared to step out of our comfort zone towards something that we know could bring us joy.  

Episode Highlights: 

• Comparing ourselves to others
• Feeling behind
• Your feelings are NORMAL
• The power of your perspective
• Meeting your daily needs

Do you ever feel the need to constantly apologize, justify, or explain your actions?

As you all know, I am pretty much an open book. If you’re thinking that just because I have a podcast means that I have it all figured out, you are mistaken. I believe that we ALL have things going on behind the scenes that not everyone can always see on the surface. My therapy sessions this month put A LOT of things in perspective for me. 

It’s not always easy to hold a mirror up to yourself and self-reflect. As I really dug deep in therapy with my counselor, I was able to explore and get to the root of some recurring issues.
 

Episode Highlights: 

• Working through trauma in therapy
• Perfectionism 
• Stating what you need WITHOUT justifying and explaining 
• Being the “go-to” person for everyone & the weight it holds
• Celebrating your own wins

Do you have the desire to get up in the mornings, but feel that you’re struggling with how to make that happen?

If you feel this way, I want you to know you’re not alone, Mama. I am not  naturally a morning person, but there are absolutely seasons where I have found that it benefits me to get up earlier than the rest of my family and kick start my day. Just because I feel the desire to do so though doesn’t mean that it’s easy to make that happen.

Today I am sharing what I’ve implemented in the seasons that I’ve made the intentional decision to get up early. There’s not a magic switch that will make this happen, and we don’t have to be perfect, but there are absolutely tools that we can use to make this process easier to ultimately make our lives more streamlined.

Listen today to find out more!

Episode Highlights:

• Habit Stacking--What it is and How to implement it
• The importance of not beating yourself up in seasons where waking up early is not realistic
