Summary

It’s Lisa Bilyeu with another incredible episode of Women of Impact and today Mel Robbins and I will frikin’ CHANGE YOUR LIFE and help you get to your goals in JUST 50 minutes! So if you feel like you’re constantly losing it, always overwhelmed, easily distracted, or the worst, ASHAMED at how stupid you seem to others, fear not because our girl Mel is here to help!! Mel Robbins is a best selling author, podcast host, and one of the most sought-after speakers in the world – but while she has had SOOO much success in her life, she can’t seem to text anyone back, remember someone’s birthday, or put away the milk when she makes coffee. The thing is guys, even Mel frikin’ Robbins isn’t immune to the anxiety and self-criticism that comes from undiagnosed ADHD. But now, in her 50s, she is FINALLY ditching the self-criticism and owning her diagnosis But women have historically been disproportionately undiagnosed for SOO many reasons, (and yep…. I am part of that stat too!) which is why I wanted Mel to come on the show to talk about the sneaky symptoms of ADHD that you might be suffering with right now, the power that can come from a proper diagnosis, and what you can do to OWN it and make it your superpower! Because once you understand that YOU’RE NOT CRAZY and your brain just works differently, THAT’S when you can actually take control and do something about it!!
