    This episode kicks off with a quick catch-up on how life has been since June, where we both celebrated our birthdays! Then we delve into the world of ADHD with a word of the day that almost has Thembe stumped! How might we better understand ADHD? How can people living with it be less misunderstood? Is it a superpower or a curse? Join us as we explore this topic through our respective stages of learning about it more deeply and getting a recent diagnosis.

    S3E4 Let’s Talk About Failure and Ego Death!

    What feelings come up when you think of the words failure or fear? When the journey is not Instagrammable, how do we shift our focus to the process rather than the end goal?
