    ep 15: Overwhelmed... again!!

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... and, OK, we’ve had a bit of a gap! – to be followed by another one!! (…until, hopefully, March; for a couple of additional 'Life' reasons, there's been a bigger gap than we anticipated!) So, in this episode, we answer: "do we want to stop the podcast?", and explain the main reasons for the gap/s, notably involving weeks of scary silence, having waaaay too much of a good thing (not least, the perils of being invited out for a coffee) – and getting a metaphorical slap! We also give some random updates on previous topics, and dig further into managing our minds & emotions, including: Bronze Medal Attitude, a revelation about “doing it NOW”, Serendipitous Spontaneity, and How To Wipe Down A Worksurface...

    ep 14: Shoulda, woulda, coulda

    Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together... and, in this episode, we explore "shoulds" – along with what we PLAN versus what actually happens... including: • feeling we 'should' do something – and doing our best to avoid it! • having SO many things we want to do/so little time, or • at times, having no idea WHAT we want to do! • the Butterfly effect – aka: "Squirrel!" • what's REALLY going on for us? And we look at strategies that can help: • 'body doubling' • 'now and next' • productive pottering!' • how to get started, and • minding your language! (Plus a cautionary tale about orange squash...!!)
