In this episode, I share the resistance I had to disclosing that I have ADHD.
Last year, the theme in our alumni membership for the stuck to unstoppable program was Time Management.
I had asked all of our alumni to track everything they do in a day. It had been a while since I had done this activity, so of course I did it with them. When I looked at what I had done in a day, my initial feeling was SHAME.

I had SO MUCH resistance around sharing it. So I started journaling and asking myself WHERE this resistance is coming from. I found an article that was writing by Sharon Saline, Psy.D. and I felt so seen. I was able to make sense out of the resistance because my main driving thought was, "I'm a hot mess who looks like she has it all together."
But what I learned in that article, is that Perfectionism, Anxiety, and ADHD is COMMON.
In today's episode I also share a menu of choices that help me develop my executive functioning skills and keep me on track to hitting my goals.
Full disclosure: What works for me, may not work for you.
ADHD is tricky that way.
It's going to take self-kindness to find what works for you.
