0:00.0	Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and
0:11.1	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.
0:27.0	I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.
0:34.0	Hey what's up?
0:39.0	This is Kristen Carter and you are listening to the I have ADHD podcast episode number 58.
0:46.0	I am medicated, I am caffeinated and I am ready to roll.
0:51.0	I'm start off by being super weird and tell you that I don't

2:05.0	And that's really what I think it is for me, that it's just confirmation that I'm on the right path,
2:11.0	but also it's just hard.
2:14.8	Like achieving your goals and reaching your potential
2:19.1	and following through on the things
2:20.9	that you say you're going to do is just hard. I wish that I could make
2:27.7	it easier for everybody. I wish that I could just tell you like, hey, like if it's the right thing, it's going to feel good all the time.
2:35.7	But that is just not the truth.
