Summary

Episode 88 with Candin Phillips.

“I’m one of those people who keeps chugging along, and it takes something really big to knock me off course before I step down and take care of myself.”

Candin is a licensed clinician and supervisor in South Carolina. She specializes in diagnosing ADHD and educating others — especially other therapists — to recognize traits of ADHD.

She is the founder of Humanity Hive, an online platform and business focused on providing information to support those with ADHD. In addition to her fabulous Instagram account, she also now offers self-guided online classes on ADHD, including an overview and one that specializes in feelings.

We also spoke all about her own diagnosis journey and the pressures of perfectionism and pushing ourselves to the point of burnout. We also spoke about the power of music for the neurodivergent brain.

🛑 TRIGGER WARNING 🛑 We talk about the recent death of Candin’s mother via suicide as well as how she has been publicly processing it, so if that is a difficult topic for you, you might want to skip this interview.

1:06.6	try to keep status quo if something big in life didn't kind of knock me off course a little bit.
1:12.3	And I don't know if that is a me thing or if that's a common ADHD thing where it's kind of
1:16.9	like something has to knock us off a little bit to realize maybe we've been overfunctioning
1:21.1	and doing all of that overachieving to justify our worth or our value.
1:38.0	Hello and welcome to the women and ADHD podcast. I'm your host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45, and it completely turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so much of my life, school, jobs, my relationships, all of it with
1:50.4	this new lens, and it has been nothing short of overwhelming.
1:54.0	I quickly discovered I was not the only woman to have this experience, and now I interview
1:58.5	other women who, like me, discovered in adulthood they have
