The Truth About ADHD Procrastination and Motivation with Kristen Carder

from Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

"ADHD is a superpower."I used to say that too. I was coached to tell my daughter that her ADHD brain was special, powerful, a gift. But when Kristen Carder said "Actually, no it's not, and that's okay," something clicked for me. Because here's what we don't talk about: telling someone who's struggling just to get out of bed on time that their brain is a superpower? That can feel like toxic positivity wrapped up in a bow. It dismisses the very real daily struggles that come with ADHD.This conversation with Kristen, certified life coach and host of the I Have ADHD Podcast, completely shifted how I understand ADHD procrastination and motivation. If you've ever beat yourself up for procrastinating on the things you care about most, if you've ever wondered why you can't just find the motivation to do what you know you need to do, or if you love someone with ADHD and want to actually understand what they're going through, this episode is going to matter. Kristen gets real about why procrastination has nothing to do with laziness, why motivation is basically useless, and how building emotional resilience is the actual key to getting things done. This one's important, friends.In This Episode, We Cover:Why the "ADHD is a superpower" narrative can actually be harmful and what empowers people insteadThe truth about ADHD procrastinationWhy waiting for motivation is a trap and what to fuel your actions with insteadWhy the right things in life almost always feel terrible and that's completely normalConnect with Kristen:Website: www.ihaveadhd.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/i.have.adhd.podcastYouTube: www.youtube.com/@i.have.adhd.podcast Podcast: www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-have-adhd-podcast/id1446874607 ________________________________💻 Free TrainingOverwhelmed?
