Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners

128. 10 ADHD Truths That Changed Everything for Me

In today's episode, I’m sharing ten big ADHD truths that completely shifted how I work, how I parent, how I think...basically how I live. Whether you have ADHD or just occasionally feel like your executive functioning packed its bags and left without notice, there's something in here for you, too. 

And make sure to stick around to the end of the episode where I share an exciting announcement!

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why executive functioning is quietly running every inch of your life and how understanding this one truth makes everything less personal and more workable.
  • How I stopped forcing myself to follow “the plan” and started following my energy (without burning my whole life down in the process).
  • My unique take on systems and how to build ones that actually work for ADHD brains.
  • How to spot the invisible steps that derail your day without you realizing it.
  • How emotional regulation fits into ADHD and why it’s the domino skill that makes every other strategy easier.
  • You’ll hear how I approach burnout, decision making, brain dumps, movement, and sleep in a way that supports (not sabotages) your executive functioning.

If This Resonates…
Then mark your calendar for Tuesday, December 16th at 8 PM ET. I'll be hosting a free event on Zoom to uncover why SLPs with ADHD struggle with work-life balance and how to solve for it. (Yes, it will be recorded!) Get the details here. 

If you’re listening and thinking, “Oh wow… she’s calling me out in the gentlest way possible,” then I would love to help you work through this in a deeper, more customized way. Book a free consult so we can talk through what ADHD-aware support could look like for you.
