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're listening to the I Have ADHD podcast episode number 158.

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

Today we are talking about imposter syndrome, which is something that you guys have requested on Instagram several times, and it is something that I help my clients overcome on a daily basis.

People with ADHD are very prone to feeling like they are imposterous for many reasons, including the fact that behind the scenes of our lives is often very chaotic.

So chaotic that we think thoughts like, left my boss or my colleagues only knew how messy or how unorganized I was, I'd be fired for sure.

Imposter syndrome totally holds us back from making progress and reaching our full potential, and we are going there today.

But first, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

To so many of you who have rated and reviewed this podcast, I am telling you the amount of dopamine that that provides for my brain is out of this world.

Honestly, like truth be told, so much dopamine for me. So thank you so much.

It also really helps new listeners to find the podcast because it tells the algorithms, I can't even say that word, algorithms,

that this is meaningful content. So please keep rating, keep reviewing so that other adults with ADHD have the opportunity to discover this podcast.

And if you're loving this content and feel as though listening to this podcast changes your life, you've got to come check out my group coaching program focused.

Alright, so one of the things that I coach on constantly within my focus coaching program is imposter syndrome.

And I might add like the self sabotage that often follows imposter syndrome.

We're probably not going to be going there today. That's a different conversation.
