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

it HD podcast episode number 178. I am medicated, I am caffeinated, and I'm

ready to roll. I am ready, ready to roll. It is a gorgeous September day here in

Pennsylvania and I hope that wherever you are listening from in the world that

you are experiencing some beautiful weather as well.

I am a little bit anxious, like I want to get started right away.

I don't want to do any kind of like cute little intro.

I want to get rolling right away with this topic because I feel like there is so much that I have on my heart and on my mind that I want to share with you and so many perspective shifts that I've had in the last couple years that I cannot

wait to get into your ears, into your brain or whatever.

Because a lot of my mind has been changed on how I view relationships and how I approach conversations and, you know, conversations with just my own people in my life, but then also conversations with clients regarding relationships.

And so I really am so looking forward to sharing all of the things I've changed my mind about.

And that is such an interesting thing as the leader of a large community to be someone who puts, you know, thoughts and opinions out into the world and then changes her mind. I don't know if you can relate to that in any

capacity but it is a little bit uncomfortable to be you know a leader of a large

community and change your mind and go back and say hey

you know I said this that one time or that 20 times but I've actually changed my mind

about it but as someone who really tries to

get perspectives from a lot of different areas,

I really want to be someone who is willing to change their mind. And so I am here with you today saying

this is pretty much brand new content that you're going to be hearing from me. It's all centered around relationships. I have been reading a ton of books, researching, taking classes and courses, and I'm in therapy weekly and I have been for the last year and a half.
