Summary
Episode 106 with Mallory Band.
“When I’m talking, I have to give the whole backstory to the story. I can’t stop. It drives my husband nuts. It drives me nuts. But I can’t stop.”
Mallory was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety at the age of 8. She now works as an executive function specialist who helps children, teens, and young adults work toward independence, increased organization, and improved time management and follow-through.
She recently founded Band Together Education, a community that helps individuals with ADHD and learning differences reach their full potential.
Mallory has written for ADDitude Magazine and Attention Magazine, and she is currently working on publishing her first book. Next month she will be speaking about imposter syndrome at the Annual International Conference on ADHD in Dallas.
We talk about anxiety, especially anticipatory anxiety, both in childhood and adulthood, and how perfectionism and anxiety interrelate with ADHD. We also talk about chronic overwhelm and the many complicated difficulties we tend to face when it comes to asking for help.

| 1:11.9 | this stuff. And some days, all you do is get up and send an email and maybe that's all you can do. |
| 1:16.8 | Okay, well, you still got up. You survived the day. And that's perfectly fine. It may not feel great, |
