Masking and Self-Esteem

Episode 18 with Taucha Post.

"Whenever my boss asked to see me in his office, I would think, ‘That's it. I'm done. I've been found out. Better pack up my desk.’"

Taucha is a certified yoga teacher and registered speech therapist who teaches yoga to empower fellow ADHDers through breath, movement, and the occasional f-bomb. Taucha was diagnosed 3 years ago at the of 31, after listening to an episode of The Current on ADHD symptoms in women. Since then she has spent a lot of time figuring out what the heck that means to her.

Because we’re both instructors, we do talk a LOT about yoga and the philosophies behind the practice and why they’re so beneficial to ADHD brains. But we also dissect the differences between your public persona and your private persona when you have ADHD, and the sheer exhaustion of keeping up appearances of normalcy and competence when deep down you feel like a hot mess and a terrible person.
