50: the one about talking so a doctor will listen

“A weird trick to get doctors to listen to you,” by journalist Carolyn Liddell caught Moira’s eye when she was considering how to successfully raise another medical concern. People with ADHD are at higher risk of gaslighting and not receiving adequate medical support.  Moira shares her journey with multiple health conditions & self-advocacy. When we can figure out what might be wrong, how do we bring it up to our doctors without offending them and be heard?   Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

49: the one about starting

Moira is continuing the series on getting things done--starting can be hard.   When creating a schedule or trying to build habits isn't working, maybe it's time to consider expanding our repertoire to include comfortable and workable options to get to the starting line, ways to start, ease in,  and be ready for potential roadblocks.  Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

48: the one about setting the stage

It's so easy when we have ADHD to skip, jump ahead, forget or avoid any stages needed to get something done. So, we're not spending any time on what happens then! Instead, we are returning to some unfinished business from Episodes 40 and 41 to look at how preparation can help.  When we set the stage for success, we consider including preparation in ways we like to increase our ease, ability and happiness.    Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

46: the one about getting real with time

It’s true: ADHD significantly impacts our ability to care for our needs and responsibilities and to do so on time. Today we’re talking about how to get out of that bind. Life feels lighter when we are more accurate about how long things take and what is possible in a day. Getting real with time includes questioning what doesn’t work with typical advice, how it can lower stress and overwhelm, and allow more of you in your day. It’s time to experiment with what works for us to end the fight with time.  Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.
