Summary
Episode 79 with Casey-Lee Flood.
"I did 5,000 things today, but I still feel inadequate because I have 10,000 things left to do."
Casey-Lee is a Registered Nurse and a Holistic Health and Wellness Nurse Coach. Her company @nourishthenurturer supports other neurodivergent nurses and caregivers with their sustainable self-care.
If you work in healthcare or if you’re in a caretaking profession, you do not want to miss this episode. We talk all about burnout in its many forms, as well as why so many nurses and healthcare workers tend to be neurodivergent.
We also talk about sensory overwhelm and its relationship to depression.
Also, Casey-Lee describes her experience with receiving a dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism last year, and how that has provided her not only with clarity in her personal life and how she experiences the world, but also with how she is better able to help her clients.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, it's Katie here. Have you spent your whole life wondering why things feel harder for you |
| 0:05.2 | than they do for everyone else? Do you struggle with motivation even for the things you actually want to do? |
| 0:10.6 | Are you exhausted even though it feels like you're not getting anything done? If you're nodding along, |
| 0:15.9 | then I've got some exciting news. I've recently expanded the women and ADHD team by joining forces with a few |
| 0:22.4 | of my favorite ADHD coaches, each of whom I trust wholeheartedly because they share my values |
| 0:28.1 | of compassionate, neurodivergent affirming support. Consistent one-on-one coaching from someone |
| 0:33.1 | who truly understands what it's like to live with ADHD can make all the difference in life. |

| 1:10.7 | an eight ounce mug versus another nurse that might be able to work with like a |
| 1:14.4 | liter bottle. Like, you know, both our cups are full, but I need to fill mine more frequently. |
| 1:24.1 | Hello and welcome to the women and ADHD podcast. I'm your host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the |
| 1:31.3 | age of 45 and it completely turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so much of my life, |
| 1:39.0 | school, jobs, my relationships, all of it with this new lens, and it has been nothing short of overwhelming. |
| 1:46.4 | I quickly discovered I was not the only woman to have this experience, and now I interview |
| 1:50.9 | other women who, like me, discovered in adulthood they have ADHD, and are finally feeling |
| 1:56.7 | like they understand who they are and how to best lean into their strengths, both professionally |
