Embrace Your ADHD Chaos

Where have I been? Writing. This episode is an accurate reflection of my busy brain. Listen as I uncover what's been stopping me from showing up to record the podcast. Those cheeky BIG, BORING, IMPORTANT, VAGUE barriers. Lemme know if you liked this rambly-style episode, as I coached myself and reflected on how to navigate a completely valid ADHD-related challenge with compassion! My ADHD self-coaching tools: externalising thoughts via a journal, verbalising the challenge, breaking down the goal, lowering the bar to entry with a shorter episode, being specific by creating parameters around how to do the task, choosing 1% of action over inaction, and staying curious to find an entry point.
