    ep 20: I can't seem to KEEP TRACK!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... In ep. 20, we dive into the issue of trying to keep all our sh*t together whilst still having enough bandwidth for our loved ones.... • The power of a pen! • Our 'capacity barrel' • Cheap post-it notes under the fridge • Being the 'brusher', 'telephone operator' or 'emotional breadwinner’ • Does the old lady actually want to cross the road? • Being present… in some cases, literally! • What could I possibly let go of?? • Passing it back! • “Let them...." (with thanks to Mel Robbins) • Utilising visual & auditory cues • The impact of A Challenge – and/or a cocktail!

    ep 19: Sh*t – LATE again!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... This episode's a bit different from our usual style – a live coaching session, with Carrie's questions assisting Nicky in delving into her very-ADHD feelings of panic tied up with being (or the fear of being) LATE – something she proudly thought she'd pretty much sorted out! During the conversation, Nicky openly and vulnerably explores some deep feelings - and makes an important discovery. Along the way, we look at: our mental narrative versus realitythe dreaded 'WTF Look'!some strategies & preventative measures - and how we can approach things if & when they don't work!A note from Nicky... we didn't release this episode when recorded in early 2024, as the sound was weirdly poor – but the latest AI tech has now transformed it (thanks, Adobe!). Also, I've been sitting, long term, with whether I actually wanted it to go live. As you can see, I've decided on balance to go ahead. Hope you find it interesting, potentially useful - and think it's worth the wait!

    ep 18: My INNER CRITIC is at it again!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... So, picking up where we left off in ep.17... we briefly recap 'our Chimp', and how – with highly variable success – it tries hamfistedly to help us! Then we look at our suite of inner voices* (with a detour about motivation), and how we can perhaps spot the origin of our infamous ‘Inner Critic'. We touch on something called Internal Family Systems and how a specific inner voice may actually be a remnant part of e.g. our 4 year old self. We also explore how we can start to take charge, including: “Passengers on a bus” Increasing awareness Interrogating the evidence Disempowering the negative Taking control through action …and, of course, enlisting the assistance of our good old friend: The Pause! **with huge thanks to Mel Robbins/The Mel Robbins Podcast ep. 287 and Dr Ethan Kross, PhD, and his book, ‘Chatter’.

    ep 17: My ANXIETY Chimp's going wild!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... Since you last joined us, we've both been dealing with the anxiety of preparing for important events in our lives. So in this episode we dig into: wrestling with overwhelming logistics, unknown unknowns, fear of cataclysmic eventualities, hierarchies of need, trying too hard to think - and basically wanting to take EVERYTHING! We move on to how (and that!) we survived... notably the power of understanding and managing our emotions, including recognising our screaming 'inner-chimp' and then persuading it to go and sit quietly enjoying a nice banana.... With heartfelt thanks to Professor Steve Peters for his brilliant books, including: 'The Chimp Paradox', 'A Path Through the Jungle', and 'My Hidden Chimp' for children.

    ep 16: The ADHD Tax??

    Hi, we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together – and, in this episode, we look at how our ADHD minds can 'cost' us... ...finding you have a LOT more (whatevers) than you thought . the Can't Be Arsed factor . the joys & drawbacks of Amazon . being REALLY great at losing things! . Comparing the (very, very boring) Market . unexpected fines . emotional distraction . postal piles . missed appointments . hobbies we have known and loved . digital tyranny . annoying other people . following instructions (NOT) . a short detour into This Is Us... and resisting the impulse to shoot from the hip versus just bloody doing it!!

    ep 15: OVERWHELMED... again!!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... and, OK, we’ve had a bit of a gap! – to be followed by another one!! (…until, hopefully, March; for a couple of additional 'Life' reasons, there's been a bigger gap than we anticipated!) So, in this episode, we answer: "do we want to stop the podcast?", and explain the main reasons for the gap/s, notably involving weeks of scary silence, having waaaay too much of a good thing (not least, the perils of being invited out for a coffee) – and getting a metaphorical slap! We also give some random updates on previous topics, and dig further into managing our minds & emotions, including: Bronze Medal Attitude, a revelation about “doing it NOW”, Serendipitous Spontaneity, and How To Wipe Down A Worksurface...
