ADHD-ish™

I am totally obsessed with helping women bust through their self-imposed limits and busting through my own.  For this week’s solo episode, we are kicking off a mini-series on the topic of upper limit issues - what they are, how to know if you have them (spoiler alert, if you are human, you DO…), and most importantly, how to eliminate them so you can reach your true potential. I have met countless intelligent, driven, ambitious women who unconsciously hold themselves back from the success, love, wellbeing, and genuine happiness that they deserve.  They label it self-sabotage, imposter complex, or doubt that they are truly committed to their dreams, and some of them are even shamed by their coaches when this happens, but upper limits are learned and what is learned can be unlearned. The term upper limit issue comes from the best-selling book, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, Ph.D.  The concepts in this book have changed my life and are one of the cornerstones of my coaching philosophy.  If you have ever wondered why no matter how much you want to achieve your goals and how hard you work toward them, something always seems to get in the way, then you are going to want to listen to this episode, and come back for episodes 65 and 67 as well.  And, don’t forget to get the worksheet so you can apply what you learned to your own life. Freebie AlertIf you want to take a deeper dive into uncovering your upper limit issues, grab this worksheet! Identifying Your Upper Limits WorksheetLet’s connect on Instagram: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachdiannwingert/ The Driven Woman Facebook GroupThe place to be for entrepreneurial women who are ready to go from driven and distracted to focused, fired up, and flame retardant  (https://www.facebook.com/groups/thedrivenwoman) Work With MeIt’s not too late to make the summer of 2021 your kickoff to getting back into momentum & up-leveling your business and life.

This episode is a solo show, in which Diann talks about how she loves change and shaking things up. She tells the stories of experiences with others who will do anything to avoid changes and being questioned for loving to change up things and as being unnatural or weird, and how being unsatisfied and having the fear of stagnation made her uproot her life from L.A. to Portland.Whether you love change or resist it, this is the perfect podcast for you as Diann tackles a controversial subject about embracing changes and evolving from them. She likes being an example of how change is part of human nature, and fear is learned.  Our podcast review this week comes from Postnotworking who says:“So many gems and inspiration, Diann I totally listen to your podcast and I love it! You are such a pleasure to listen to and have such an amazing message so relatable and practical. I’m so glad you started this podcast, many women will benefit, I’m sure. So keep it coming, and P.S.

When was the last time you remember being sincerely happy with what’s going on in your life? Most people have something they wanted to have or to be in their life, and also take what they do have for granted. Most of us are more focused on what we think of as unhappiness or misfortune than we are on luck and joy. Happiness may be vague and considered immeasurable by scientists, but what if I told you that there’s a way how you can live a peaceful and happy life without the stressors that are bugging you? Yes, that’s completely true. But don’t expect everything to be on your side because in reality, fantasizing about things doesn’t actually make us any happier or satisfied if we finally managed to get our hands on them.Ready to dig deep and open your mind about the things that we need to accept, change, and/or improve in order to view the positive side of life?This week’s Pod Praise is from Anika, an online brand strategist and solopreneur success coach, who had this to say about The Driven Woman:  “I typically stream podcasts directly from my Echos in my home or from my home office - to my pleasure this morning while showering and washing my hair, I needed something a little more motivating but short so I said "Alexa, play the Driven Woman podcast" and the rest is history!! I love how short these episodes are, I don't feel like I have to commit a chunk of time of my day to get value. Very happy to find you, Diann.”Connect with Anika on IG at https://www.instagram.com/businesschicceo/?hl=enHer business is https://www.businesschicservices.com/ Thanks, Anika! Are you loving The Driven Woman Podcast, listening regularly, maybe even a subscriber who eagerly waits for Tuesday when the next episode is released?

This episode is our first Client Success Story, featuring my client Jen DiNardi, OTD who has a doctorate in Occupational Therapy, and specializes in pediatrics. In this episode, we talk about:What is occupational therapy and what kinds of things she helps her patients withWhy she pursued such a demanding academic goal (hint, it has something to do with proving something to herself…) How Jen always knew she was different but was only diagnosed with ADHD in the last year of her doctoral program. During our work together, Jen gained some transformational insights about herself:How pretending she wasn’t struggling lead to a lifetime of anxiety, perfectionism, imposter complex, fear, and hiding. She is highly sensitive and ignored this for years, causing her to feel strained and drainedJen was caught in the empathy trap and had trouble setting limits and boundaries at work, so she had no energy for a personal life And made some practical changes in her life that moved the needle:Habit stacking: Now she never forgets to take her medsMorning Routine:  She eliminated decision fatigue by exercising in the morning Energy Management: What working virtually taught her about self-acceptanceThank you, Jen DiNardi, OTD for sharing your story!  Ways to connect with Dr. Jen, Website: https://www.jendinardi.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhd_and_empathy/Email: [email protected] you loving The Driven Woman Podcast, listening regularly, maybe even a subscriber who eagerly waits for Tuesday when the next episode is released?
