ADHD: A whole bag of fun Navigating the Storm
-
- Self-Improvement
Today, we are talking about ADHD with Jillian Trainor - a Canadian reporter with a whole lot of life experience. Producer Mel is joining us on the fun side of the microphone and we'll all share the different stages of our ADHD journeys.
There is a very definite gender bias in how medical professionals view ADHD - it's based on the behaviours that young boys with hyperactivity show. People assigned female at birth often have a completely different set of needs and the diagnosis can be missed.
In the episode we discuss:
- What ADHD looks like for people assigned female at birth (4:52)
- The impact of a missed diagnosis (9:42)
- Sleep disturbances and delayed sleep onset (11:10)
- Self-compassion through self-awareness (13:00)
- How we manage ADHD in the workplace (16:20)
- Creating our own organisation techniques (19:00)
- ADHD and the cycle of shame (23:40)
- Whether there are some gifts within the diagnosis (27:27)
- Famous females with ADHD that you might not know about (31:44)
If what you heard today resonated with you, I’m always up for a chat. If you've got problems right now, book yourself in via my website annaknightcoach.com and we'll turn them into possibilities. If you're looking for a network of lovely and loving people to support you, our Facebook community Port in the Storm is your new safe harbour. Whatever you need, we've got your back.
