ADHD and honesty - ๐Hooray new content!๐
โก๏ธ Find our newest video on ADHD and honesty here! โฌ
๏ธ Sam and Ian went for a walk in the hills above Encinitas โ very California ๐ โ and ended up having one of their more honest conversations. Which felt appropriate, given the topic; honesty. Honesty in two kinds - the tricky ADHD kind where you say "yes I'll have that report to you by Friday" and fully believe when you say it. And the even harder kind; honesty with yourself. About where you actually are, what you actually have capacity for, how long things actually take, and why the gap between your intentions and your actions keeps showing up in ways that confuse and exhaust the people around you โ and you. For us, its the most important thing to get right. If you have ADHD and you don't understand your relationship with honesty, everything else you try to build, the systems, the plans, the goals, the relationships, will sit on an unstable foundation. Put it on, podcast style, while you're driving, cooking, folding laundry, or doing anything else that keeps your hands busy but leaves your ears free. Don't feel bad about the multi-tasking, for a lot of ADHD brains, it's actually the optimal listening condition.
