Shaking things up a bit
|
Hey Reader, I hope this email finds you in a good place—or at least a place where you've been able to find moments of peace amidst the end of summer/beginning of September chaos. For me, it's been a week of holidays, getting super sick and just feeling overwhelmed by all the things that I scheduled out for myself in the Fall and worrying that I've overcommitted myself. Is it just me?
So, suffice it to say that lately, I've been feeling all the ADHD things and just sitting in them feeling overwhelmed and, quite frankly, a bit lost. But here's the thing—when I'm in these moments, I try to remember that they don't define me. I also try to remember to use the strategies that I know and love and to take a step back and offer myself grace and compassion. I try to tell myself that this is normal for me and it happens. 🤷♀️ So, that’s why I’m really excited to introduce a new format for these emails. I have always wanted these little check-ins to feel more like conversations between friends—because that’s exactly what we are but I also wanted to give you more - more practical stuff like tools and strategies as well as give you a peak into what I'm working on. So, here’s what you can expect going forward:
At its core, this weekly email is about building a community where we can openly discuss our challenges, share our victories—even the small ones—and lift each other up. Because I believe that you deserve support, encouragement, and someone who gets it. So, if you’re having one of those weeks (or months), let’s talk about it. Hit reply and share! Here’s to many more moments of honesty and growth together. Always sending good vibes your way, Resource Roundup! |

Hey Reader, If I could listen to your thoughts right now, what do you think I’d hear? Living with ADHD can make it ridiculously easy to beat ourselves up for not fitting in, not being "normal," and a whole lot of other stuff. If you could peek into my brain, you’d definitely hear a whole lot of self-criticism and some not-so-flattering chatter happening at full volume. Isn’t it wild how quickly our brains can jump to that self-judgment? If your mind is anything like mine, just remember:...
Hey Reader. I’ve got a whole heck of a lot to do this week and I’m oh-so behind. But I wanted to pop in and say hello anyway. HELLOOOO! Oh, and send you my latest blog post on the one question that has changed how I manage my ADHD. It's about a 4-minute read and it explores how one question has helped me prioritize my own needs, create a sense of structure with flexibility, and dive deep into what truly matters to me with my ADHD. It’s my first blog post in a hot minute so I wanted to share...
Hey Reader, Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the whole concept of masking. Ever since I received my ADHD diagnosis later in life, I’ve realized I’ve spent so much time trying to fit into this supposed "normal" mold (like, what does 'normal' even mean, anyway?). If you don't know, masking is when someone with ADHD tries to present themselves in a way that hides the fact that they’re navigating life with ADHD so that they can "fit in". It goes by other names like “impression management” or...
