Hi very beautiful neurodivergent brains!This week, we’re watering our fake plants and celebrating our birthdays like the indulgent little princes we are!Dilemma 1: Our lovely listener Kerri feels like she comes across as intimidating, and it’s triggering her RSD. We chat about advocating for ADHD in the workplace and embracing your unique intensity while also showing your softer side. Remember, two things can be true: you can be passionate and intense and also a kind/gentle person!Dilemma 2: A cute little Bimbo Marshall comes out of the woodwork with a question about phone calls and the stress of feeling disconnected to the person on the other end, almost like she’s talking to a disembodied voice. We discuss the challenges of emotional processing and body language on calls, and why many ADHDers find emailing and texting way easier than chatting on the phone.We dive into some practical tips for how to escape those moments when you’re feeling “chat-trapped” and mananging the overwhelm of keeping the conversation going like  calming your nervous system right before the call, using social scripts—like chatting about the weather to ease into the conversation and Grace gives the 'untip’ of calling when the background noise is terrible and just blaming it on that!Ireggy Seggy: It’s time for “ADHD or NAYDHD: The Zoo Edition”!

Hi hiii ADHD loves!In today's episode we have another bestie guestie on the podcast, Jenna Free - ADHD coach and therapist (who you may know as @adhdwithjennafree on Instagram or TikTok). We chat through two dilemmas with Jenna:• Dilemma #1 - A cute listener called Em asks: "I told my partner that I have ADHD and struggle a lot with 'time blindness'. While he acknowledged I may have ADHD and wanted to support me, he said this trait was simply “poor time management skills” and encouraged me to learn to do better. How do I explain to people what I believe to be certain before I receive the medical certainty of a diagnosis?" • Dilemma #2 - A gorgeous name twin listener called 'Tara from Texas' asks: "My son just turned 4 and I find myself exploding with anger seemingly out of nowhere almost daily. He brings me so much joy, so it kills me when I go from 0 to 1000. The most frequent advice I get is to take care of myself first because unmet needs can manifest as anger. BUT having ADHD makes self care so HARD! What is that?!"• Ireggy Seggy - we play a fun new game that Jenna suggested called 'stick and twist', where we admit to hobbies we started and the others have to guess whether we stuck with them or jumped ship. 🏃‍♀️🛳️RECS:• Jenna recommends Love Island USA, which she's been bingeing this season!• Grace recommends a stick vacuum cleaner dupe that's changed her life by gameifying vacuuming in a way that is ✨magic✨ for ADHD brains• Tara recommends a Netflix show called Valeria which she's obsessed with (those fuchsia couches and floor to ceiling maximalist wallpapers 😍)Remember to head over to @adhdwithjennafree and @adhdbusiness on socials and give Jenna some love!SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY LOVES... Your ADHD Besties,Tara & Grace xx(Don't RSD)----------------------------🦋 WANT MORE ADHD BESTIES?
