Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast Celebrating What We Do
Jan 16, 2025
What if we celebrated progress instead of striving for perfection? This discussion highlights the immense courage required to navigate life with ADHD. The hosts emphasize that ADHD is not a flaw but a complex reality deserving recognition. They tackle the cycle of self-criticism and encourage listeners to appreciate every victory, no matter how small. Lowering expectations is framed as an act of kindness, and creating a 'done list' provides a powerful way to acknowledge daily achievements. It’s all about embracing strengths and redefining self-worth.
