    Silencing Your Inner Critic

    Silencing Your Inner Critic

    As the year unfolds, I've been wrestling with an uninvited companion: my inner critic.  But instead of trying to kick it out, I found that getting to know it—understanding where it's coming from and why it's so relentless—can actually change the game. In our latest episode, we navigate the tricky terrain of self-criticism, exploring its roots and the societal pressures that feed it. It's about turning that criticism into constructive, critical thinking and celebrating our wins just as much as we scrutinize our setbacks. If you've ever felt like you were your own worst enemy, this conversation is an invitation to a more compassionate self-dialogue.

    This episode isn't just about understanding our inner critic; it's about learning to live with it more harmoniously. I'll share how I've been practicing grace and compassion towards myself, even when I fall short of my own lofty expectations. We talk about strategies to reframe the inner critic from a backseat driver to a silent passenger—one who's along for the ride but not dictating the journey. Join me as we discuss practical ways to cultivate a kinder internal conversation, embracing curiosity as a tool to shift our perspective. By the end of our talk, you'll have a fresh outlook on how to manage that inner voice, making way for a gentler, more forgiving approach to the challenges and triumphs of everyday life.

    Internalized Stigma

    Internalized Stigma

    In this episode I cast a light on the invisible struggles of those  of us with internalized stigma  in a world that's slow to adapt. By sharing actionable insights and my therapist's 'unmasking' technique, this episode is a call to action for compassionate change and self-advocacy. From the personal to the systemic, we confront the pressing need for inclusive environments that recognize and accommodate diverse experiences. Join me, your host, as we navigate the nuanced journey of embracing our own worth, independent of productivity, and dismantling the deep-seated stigmas that hinder our collective mental well-being.

    Weakness or Limitation

    Weakness or Limitation

    In this episode we discuss the distinction between temporary weaknesses that can be improved and inherent limitations that may require acceptance and mourning is explored. This part of the conversation underscores the importance of self-compassion and setting realistic expectations in the face of personal limitations.

    I hope to highlight that medication, for some, is not a sign of weakness but a vital part of managing one's mental health. By sharing these candid experiences, I ncourages listeners to reassess their own narratives and seek out the support they need, whether that's medication, therapy, or educational resources like AI.

    Self-acceptance and the resilience that comes from understanding our own tapestry of limitations and strengths is crucial.  Le's all acknowledge and honor the full spectrum of the human experience.

    Unapologetically ADHD with Kristen Carder

    Unapologetically ADHD with Kristen Carder

    Alright, listen up, folks! Today, I've got Kristen Carder, the badass ADHD expert and host of the "I Have ADHD" podcast, joining me for a real talk about adulting with ADHD. We're ripping off the mask of societal expectations and getting real about the struggles of those of us who've mastered the art of hiding our ADHD struggles behind a facade of so-called normalcy.
    Kristen drops some truth bombs as we dive into the paradox of sharp minds shackled by inconsistent performance. She shares her journey from banging her head against the wall in frustration to becoming a fierce advocate, fighting for understanding and support for those walking the winding path of ADHD.
    We're breaking free from the chains of  normativity  and digging deep into the liberation that comes from reconnecting with our 'why.' We're not sugar-coating it either – what seems like a walk in the park for some can feel like climbing Mount Everest for us ADHD warriors. We're preaching the gospel of self-compassion as we navigate the mental minefield of daily routines and stressing the importance of choosing paths that light a fire in our souls.
    In this raw, heart-to-heart exchange, we're shouting from the rooftops about the necessity of prioritizing self-care and forging meaningful connections. And let's not forget, we're celebrating the full spectrum of our neurodivergent experiences – the highs, the lows, and everything in between. So buckle up, because this conversation is about to take you on a ride you won't soon forget!
