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 79.

I am medicated, I'm caffeinated, and I'm ready to roll.

I'm so glad that you are here with me today. Today's episode is

going to be a little bit unscripted, a little bit different from our norm, because I just like had a really bad day yesterday and I'm still a little

bit hung over from it and I was going to just either skip today's podcast or you know kind of borrow some

other content that I have from focused and maybe share a class with you or

something like that but I thought maybe

it would be most valuable for me to show up as the very real raw version of me today

and just remind you that you're not a robot in case

you're wondering in case in case you didn't know.

And the reason why I think that's valuable

or might be valuable to you today

is because I know that I talk a lot about how to function better in the world and I know I talk a lot about

Coaching yourself and managing your mind and that your thoughts actually create your feelings and so if you want to feel

better you have to think better and think differently and all of that is

very true.

But I just want to also be candid and authentic and raw

and say that sometimes you just can't thought work your way out of feeling like trash.
