Hello February! In the theme of love, today's episode talks about romanticizing your life.  Maybe you heard this phrase during the pandemic, but we're essentially glamorizing the mundane day-to-day tasks. We are fabulous, even if we don't live in the French countryside, so why not play up our daily lives? I really love the concept because to me, it's another form of self love.  

What else am I in-between this week? 

• February themes of love and Groundhog day; anyone else feel like it's still 2019? 
• New workout class
• Unreal candy & finding healthier alternatives to snackies
• Our country's new mental health support team, Sesame Street, starring Elmo! 
• Crushing my ADHD and to-do lists
• Making friends on the internet - should I bring back my Adult Friendships series? 
• The Hurkle Durkle life

My guest Amanda Currie is a very talented and creative person, a music teacher and a musician in the Tinderbox Orchestra project. I invited her to this conversation because I wanted to learn what it means and how it feels to be neurodivergent, how it differs from living with mental health challenges and find out about her experience exploring life with an official ADHD diagnosis.

In this light-hearted episode we laugh a lot and focus on what Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD means for adults and how it can manifest in our lives. While one of the most researched and one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD has a lot of stigma and assumptions surrounding it, mainly still tagging it as the unsettled children’s issue. Amanda shares the challenges she experienced on her way to getting an official ADHD diagnosis, why it can often be so complicated for an adult to get there and what benefits it can bring when you finally do. She also shares her ADHD hints and tips of how to better support yourself and anyone else around you living with it.

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and have different conversations with people? I've been thinking about that a lot this week, because technically, I knew Megan Mitchell back in 2010, when we were both at Emerson College in Boston, hosting a show on the Emerson Channel together. But although we obviously chatted with each other, we never talked about serious things, like our mental health.

Megan is a news anchor on WLWT in Cincinnati. And when she's not on TV, she's making TikToks to her over 1.4 million followers, about the LGBTQ+ community and mental health.

So I loved talking to Megan about ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, and how being open and vulnerable about your feelings can really help you and the people in your life.

When I was diagnosed with ADHD last November, in some ways, it was really overwhelming, wondering why it took me 3 decades to figure it out. But then on the other hand, it felt really validating to finally make sense of some of the ways my brain works. And since I'm starting to understand these things about my brain, I can stop trying to fight against them, and work with them instead. To me, it’s actually pretty amazing how much just knowing and understanding how my brain works helps it work better.

When I started researching ADHD, before and after my diagnosis, I found a community of other people on the internet also living with ADHD. Including content creators and coaches who have now dedicated their careers to putting out information about ADHD, sharing their own stories and things they’ve learned along the way.

And one of those people - who I have since learned a LOT from - is René Brooks!

René is the founder of Black Girl Lost Keys - a blog that empowers black women with ADHD and shows them how to live well with the disorder. She’s written 6 e-books about living with ADHD, covering topics from cleaning, guarding your YES, style, and time blindness.

So I loved talking to René about cleaning with ADHD, how to set realistic routines, and how getting a diagnosis later in life can be like meeting a version of yourself you didn’t even know existed.
