Summary

I’m back with another “everything but the kitchen sink” podcast episode.

Honestly, I was struggling with my capacity to create content for the podcast. So, I’m honoring the capacity I have. Because ADHD is all about meeting yourself where you’re at, right?

If you’re looking for tips and tricks on improving your life with ADHD, I might steer you to the other 250 podcast episodes we’ve recorded. This one is more of a wild look into my mind at the moment. So, buckle up.

I’m sharing some hot takes on a book I recently read that I wanted to throw against a wall, discussing a super ADHD-friendly book I highly recommend, and giving you TMI about what’s been happening in my family lately.

I’m offering my thoughts on turning 43 a couple of weeks ago and what it’s made me realize about life in general and, more specifically, my ever-evolving ADHD journey.

But also I’ve got a huge announcement about something I’m currently working on. Spoiler: it’s one of the reasons my creative capacity has been zapped in most areas of my life lately. If nothing else, listen until you get to that point.

I hope you enjoy this look into what’s happening in Kristen’s crazy brain!

0:51.2	I am just recording another one of these, everything on my mind lately,
0:57.8	episodes for a couple of reasons. Number one, I've never gotten so much feedback on an episode as I did on the
1:06.0	everything on my mind episode from a couple months ago, so that's reason number one.
1:09.8	Reason number two is I just could not pump out a podcast today. I don't know what it is about the last couple weeks,
1:17.0	but I'm just struggling. I'm struggling with my capacity to create new content and that's just something that I'm taking a look at. I don't think it means
1:25.8	I'm a bad person. I don't think it means I'm bad at my job. I don't think it means I need to like throw in
1:30.1	the towel with the podcast, but I do need to re-evaluate my process and just
1:35.1	make sure everything is smooth so that I have the capacity. If you struggle with
1:41.4	a varying capacity, you're in the right place, and I just want to say same.
1:47.6	And I also want to say there's nothing moral about a fluctuating capacity.
1:52.2	Sometimes you've got it in you to do the things
1:55.3	and sometimes you just don't.
1:57.6	And for some reason, which I have yet to discover,
