2021 Q & A with Pete & Nikki

New season, new questions! It’s been too long since we took on your fantastic submissions so we’re clearing the deck this New Year with discussion on ADHD paradoxes, health, ableism, and so much more.

Along the way, head over to The Theme System to see what Myke Hurley and CGP Grey have cooked up with the release of their second edition Theme Journal!

• Can margin exist with hyperfocus?
• Can you be kind to yourself AND challenge yourself to be better?
• Are you keeping resolutions this year, or clearing out any tolerations? (The 2021 Purge!)
• How do you explain executive functioning to someone with no experience with it?
• What do you look for in an accountability partner?
• Hey Pete... how you feeling?

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions — keep ‘em coming!
