EP. 37 Working with Your ADHD Brain with Megan Kierstead

If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect that you might have it, or have someone close to you who is neurodivergent (hint: you probably do!), this episode is for you. 

And if none of this applies to you, listen anyway! Our fast-paced society creates symptoms for people that mimic ADHD, so you’ll get something from this episode, no matter what. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Megan Kierstead, a certified coach for forward-thinking badasses with rebel brains. She helps people (especially those who identify as neurodivergent/ADHD) build a career and life unique to their bodies and brains. 

Listen in as we discuss:

• What ADHD is, and how it affects the nervous system  The role of motivation in ADHD, and how to influence your motivation 
• How to make articulating your emotions and thoughts easier, so that you can start to shift them 
• How to make things easier for your Future Self through retrospective reflection and troubleshooting
• The concept of play, and the many research-backed benefits of embracing it
• Why half-finished projects don’t have to be a problem
