If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect that you might have it, or have someone close to you who is neurodivergent (hint: you probably do!), this episode is for you.
And if none of this applies to you, listen anyway! Our fast-paced society creates symptoms for people that mimic ADHD, so you’ll get something from this episode, no matter what.
In this episode, I'm joined by Megan Kierstead, a certified coach for forward-thinking badasses with rebel brains. She helps people (especially those who identify as neurodivergent/ADHD) build a career and life unique to their bodies and brains.
Listen in as we discuss:
- What ADHD is, and how it affects the nervous system The role of motivation in ADHD, and how to influence your motivation
- How to make articulating your emotions and thoughts easier, so that you can start to shift them
- How to make things easier for your Future Self through retrospective reflection and troubleshooting
- The concept of play, and the many research-backed benefits of embracing it
- Why half-finished projects don’t have to be a problem

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
