  1. The Truth About ADHD Procrastination and Motivation with Kristen Carder

    The Truth About ADHD Procrastination and Motivation with Kristen Carder

    "ADHD is a superpower." I used to say that too. I was coached to tell my daughter that her ADHD brain was special, powerful, a gift. But when Kristen Carder said "Actually, no it's not, and that's okay," something clicked for me. Because here's what we don't talk about: telling someone who's struggling just to get out of bed on time that their brain is a superpower? That can feel like toxic positivity wrapped up in a bow. It dismisses the very real daily struggles that come with ADHD. This conversation with Kristen, certified life coach and host of the I Have ADHD Podcast, completely shifted how I understand ADHD procrastination and motivation. If you've ever beat yourself up for procrastinating on the things you care about most, if you've ever wondered why you can't just find the motivation to do what you know you need to do, or if you love someone with ADHD and want to actually understand what they're going through, this episode is going to matter. Kristen gets real about why procrastination has nothing to do with laziness, why motivation is basically useless, and how building emotional resilience is the actual key to getting things done. This one's important, friends. In This Episode, We Cover: Why the "ADHD is a superpower" narrative can actually be harmful and what empowers people insteadThe truth about ADHD procrastinationWhy waiting for motivation is a trap and what to fuel your actions with insteadWhy the right things in life almost always feel terrible and that's completely normalConnect with Kristen: Website: www.ihaveadhd.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/i.have.adhd.podcast YouTube: www.youtube.com/@i.have.adhd.podcast  Podcast: www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-have-adhd-podcast/id1446874607 ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

  2. Planning For Perfection vs. Planning For Reality

    Planning For Perfection vs. Planning For Reality

    You know that feeling when you create the perfect plan for your week, and then by Tuesday everything has already fallen apart? Maybe your boss changed priorities, your kid got sick, or three unexpected things landed on your plate. So you tell yourself planning is pointless and just stop doing it altogether. The planning systems you've been taught were never designed for the life you're living. Most planning advice out there assumes you're working with a perfect week. But you're not living in a perfect world. Your life has turbulence built into it, and that's not your fault. In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional planning fails women with unpredictable lives, and I'm teaching you how to create plans that actually work with your reality instead of pretending next week will magically be different. In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why traditional planning systems fail women with unpredictable livesThe pilot analogy that changes everything about how you view planningHow to create an "emergency fund" with your time (not white space)Why abandoning planning means abandoning control of your destinationThe exact mindset shift that lets you plan for turbulence instead of perfection________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

  3. Why Daily Planning Fails Working Moms

    Why Daily Planning Fails Working Moms

    You're not failing at daily planning. Daily planning is failing you.  If you're a working mom who wakes up, looks at your calendar, makes your to-do list, and then spends the entire day feeling like you're perpetually behind, this episode is going to explain exactly why. The problem isn't that you're bad at time management or that you need to try harder. The problem is that daily planning keeps you trapped in a constant state of reaction, scrambling to put out fires and crossing off urgent tasks while your longer-term goals collect dust. And when life throws you a curveball (because it will), everything falls apart. When you're a working mom, disruptions don't just steal an hour. The school calls at 10 AM with a sick kid? That's your entire afternoon gone. There's no space in a daily plan to absorb that kind of pivot without staying up until midnight trying to catch up. The good news? There's a better way to plan that actually works for the realities of your life. And once you understand why daily planning is mathematically designed to fail you, everything is going to click into place. In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why daily planning traps working moms in constant reaction modeThe math problem that makes daily planning impossible for caregiversWhat happens when disruptions steal hours, not minutes, from your dayWhy you always feel behind (and why it's not your fault)The planning shift that finally gives you space to breathe and pivot________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

    Brain Health for Busy Women with Holly Bardutz

    We're talking about something we've never really covered here on the podcast: brain health. This is a newer field where a lot of the research just isn't very mainstream yet, but the findings are incredible. I brought in Dr. Holly Bardutz, a brain researcher at the University of Regina, to break down what brain health actually means and why it matters for those of us dealing with overwhelm and stress. One of the biggest takeaways I want you to get from this episode is that you can improve the health of your brain every single day, even when you're overwhelmed, even when you're stressed out. You don't need to find three hours a day to make progress on this. You can actually integrate brain health practices into everyday living, and Holly's going to show you exactly how. This conversation completely changed how I think about my brain, and I can't wait for you to hear what small changes you can start putting in place today. In This Episode, We Cover: Why stress isn't always the enemy (and how it can actually help your brain)The five key lifestyle factors that directly impact your brain healthSimple daily habits that build brain reserve and improve cognitive functionWhy you can make new brain cells your entire life (yes, even now)How to challenge your brain without adding more to your to-do listConnect with Holly at www.bardutzbrainhealth.com ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

    How to Stop Meetings from Destroying Your Productivity

    How much of your week do you actually spend sitting in meetings? If you're like most people, it's probably way more than you'd like. In fact, I once worked with a company that discovered over 40% of their salary budget was going toward people sitting in conference rooms. Not building products, not serving customers, just meeting. And here's the kicker: most of those meetings didn't even need to happen. Today I'm breaking down the five meeting rules that can help you reclaim your productivity, protect your energy, and finally stop feeling like your calendar is controlling your life. Whether you're the person scheduling meetings or the one drowning in back-to-back calls, this episode will show you how to make meetings work for you instead of against you. In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why meetings cost way more than just time on your calendarThe difference between a manager's schedule and a maker's scheduleFive meeting rules that will transform your productivityHow to tell if you actually need to be in a meetingWhy not being invited to meetings is actually a gift________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

    Are You Even on Your Own List? with Erin Gallagher

    If you're a woman who constantly puts everyone else first, this episode is going to hit differently.  You know that feeling when you look at your calendar and realize you're not even on it? When every single time slot is filled with obligations to others, and the thought of prioritizing yourself feels selfish or impossible? Today's conversation with Erin Gallagher, author of the new book Hype Women, is going to challenge everything you've been taught about selflessness and what it's costing you. Erin is sharing five powerful shifts that women can make today to start serving themselves first. And here's the truth bomb: when you're constantly being selfless, you're not just robbing yourself. You're robbing everyone around you from experiencing the truest, most present version of who you are. This isn't about adding more to your plate or earning the right to take care of yourself. It's about understanding that prioritizing yourself is the foundation for everything else to work. In This Episode, I'll Cover: The real question to ask yourself: Are you even on your own list?Why changing the order matters more than adding yourself to the calendarHow to communicate your priorities without feeling guilty or defensiveThe universe's test when you start prioritizing yourself (and how to pass it)What happens when your kids see you choosing yourself firstConnect with Erin and purchase her new book Hype Women: www.hypewomen.com ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?
