Opting Out from Overwhelm #adhd #adhdcoach #organization #organized #workspace Nov 28, 2023

Where’s Catherine?

 

On this episode of Where’s Waldo, we’re searching for Catherine.

But that’s a story for another day.

The tire gauge indicated a low tire.

We were just heading back to the hotel at 1am after a spectacular shut out stripe out game PSU over Indiana.
I told hubby to go to bed, because I believe that everything is a little easier to deal with after some sleep.

In the morning, he discovered a screw in t...

Too Busy Taking My Time #adhd #adhdcoaching #adhdcommunity #productivity Sep 08, 2023

“I was too busy taking my time,” she said to her husband.

I laughed.

And wrote it down.

Because too good not to share!

Isn’t that often true for ADHD?

Or for overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, burned out people?

This summer I found I was all of those things.

It wasn’t just ADHD kicking my *ss but ...

I held the carved statue in my hand and wondered.

It just didn’t seem to be the exact momento to remember Sandra Grace by.

It was pretty but I wasn’t drawn to it. It didn't speak to me.

I circled the room again and saw a small photo of a bell.

Hmmmm…now that’s interesting.

But what was behind i...

Theresa was constantly putting off organizing her desk.

She had so much work to do.

She didn’t want to take the time to declutter.

And yet each day she was wasting a ton of time shuffling through piles to find that client file.

It’s hard to see how being organized can help you save time when it ...

What if You Need Self-Compassion not Self-Judgment? #adhd #adhdbrain #adhdcoach #selfcompassion #selflove #selfworth #well-being Jul 08, 2023

Betty had cancer again.

The metastatic kind.

The kind that means you have cancer the rest of your life.

And then Betty’s husband died.

I promise that if you keep reading, this story has a happy endin.

When Betty came to coaching, she was stuck - her words not mine.

She said she couldn’t leave ...

Sorry I’m late.

Sorry I lost your keys.

Sorry the dishes are in the sink again.

Sorry I misplaced the client’s file.

Sorry I forgot to email/text you back.
