Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD.

Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.

Hey what's up, this is Kristen Carter and you are listening to the I have

ADHD podcast episode number 125. I am medicated I am

caffeinated and I am ready to roll. Hello how are you I am so glad you're here with me today. I have got to tell you a couple

things. Number one, I have 45 minutes to record this podcast and prepare for a class that I am teaching on perfectionism.

And I just have to say that I did not manage my time today. Your girl has just been in a funk this week, totally

in the ebb and not in the flow. The podcast that came out this past Tuesday on self-sapotage is so ironic of course because I had the most intense vulnerability hangover after that podcast episode released and then I just

wanted to sabotage my whole entire life.

It is so fascinating how I always, always, always, always have to do this work in real time

as I am putting it out there for you.

And so to think about how the episode on self-sabotage gave me the most intense

vulnerability hangover and then I wanted to sabotage, I literally was like maybe we should take it down maybe I shouldn't leave it up like I was

going a little bit like not insane but what's the word when you actually are saying but you feel like

you're going insane I was doing that

so anyway I just want you to understand that I am a real human like I am just a human and I experience all of the things that all of the people experience and one

of those things is vulnerability and another one of those things is self-sabbatage and so you know I was having all

kinds of thoughts and this week has just been a really interesting time of me trying to take care of myself but then also like

Kristen you also have a job so like don't forget to do your job so today was one of

those days where I was like oh yeah I, I have a job. I have to do my job.
