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 94. I am medicated I am

caffeinated and I am so ready to roll because today I have my client Malia Dicker here to to

to chat about the client Malia Dicker here to chat about the concept of pardoning our past selves.

And I can't wait for you to hear from her because she is the one that originally came up with this concept and I love it so much.

She's done a lot of work around perfectionism and we're going to chat about that a lot today so Malia.

Hi, thank you for being.

Thanks so much for having me.

And thanks so much for the kind words on part one of the podcast.

I listened to that.

I was like, oh, so validatingating I was grinning ear to ear so thank you yeah I'm

so glad but I definitely didn't want to just steal it and claim it as my own even

though I mean it is such an amazing concept when you first

said it I think I said like this is so important it's so valuable and it gives a

language to something that I think like as a coach I've been trying to communicate and just didn't have the words for.

So I'm really thankful for you for showing up and giving language to that so thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So tell us a little bit about yourself.
