Commitment v. Motivation

I've been saying for months that I'd write down my experience. But I kept waiting and googling and hoping some other ADHD creator would do it for me. Since it didn't happen I finally recorded everything I could remember about that period of time in March of this year. For now this will be the last episode of the HealthyADHD Podcast. There's so much noise right now in this space, and I don't want to add to it. But I'm keeping the door open for later. I still love having conversations so I won't rule it out.

My good friend Jaclyn Paul, from The ADHD Homestead is back!I recently wrote a rant email about why it sucks that women*** bear the burden of the holiday season. In fact, we do all the invisible work of life, so kin-keeping shouldn't be a surprise.Because her timing is always perfect, Jaclyn contacted me last week and we engaged in a series of voice messages about the concept of kin-keeping, and the added mental/emotional burdens of 2020. Jaclyn recorded our conversation, as well as an audio version of her original article on kin-keeping. As always, we both put a lot out into the world, and we appreciate your support.

For all the parents muddling through online education, this one is for you!I've asked my son a few times if he would talk about his, "special brain" on the podcast.  Over the weekend we decided to  go ahead and talk a little about being raised by a mom who also has a special brain, and how he feels about school right now. In short - he's not as miserable as I thought. And he is actually learning. Next time he's going to tell stories about having an ADHD mom. Sign up for the Annual International Conference on ADHD .
