EP 9. ADHD Pt 1

In the first of two episodes, I talk about having ADHD, how it has shown up through out the course of life, and establish the setting for the second episode, where I'll talk about strategies for managing some of the obstacles I anticipate ADHD will put in my way.

EP 8. Hodgepodge

I really talk about a bunch of different stuff in this one - which actually kind of makes sense, given I devote most of my time talking about the impacts I suspect my ADHD is having on my efforts to learn Scottish Gaelic.  You may also hear a bit of a song I am learning and some Gaelic I wrote for my SMO class!

In this episode, I talk about the framework that I am going to use to help me with setting goals for my Gaelic language learning (and that I hope you'll consider using, too!).
