50: the one about talking so a doctor will listen
“A weird trick to get doctors to listen to you,” by journalist Carolyn Liddell caught Moira’s eye when she was considering how to successfully raise another medical concern. People with ADHD are at higher risk of gaslighting and not receiving adequate medical support. Moira shares her journey with multiple health conditions & self-advocacy. When we can figure out what might be wrong, how do we bring it up to our doctors without offending them and be heard? Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

36: the one about our eating disorders and ADHD
Content warning: This episode contains discussions of eating disorders; listener discretion is advised if you feel that listening may aggravate your suffering or complicate your recovery. Discuss with your support system as necessary. Moira has struggled with her relationship with food and her body for close to 50 years, only learning she had binge eating disorder after her ADHD diagnosis. Megan’s eating disorder was recognized first, as a teenager, and her ADHD diagnosis came in 2021. Both women know we do not need to suffer endlessly anymore and there is a path to recovery. ADHD contributes to disordered eating and obesity and getting help for any of this means understanding our experiences and having ways to get the help we deserve.

the one about compassion
Hi, I’m taking a little time off and will be back with new episodes in January. I’m sharing an episode from the archive that builds upon the latest episodes. Today we’re discussing how self-compassion improves our ability to get started, deal with challenges, keep going and get along with others. We’ll be talking about proven strategies, and ideas. They won’t prevent us from making mistakes, but when we do, and we treat ourselves with compassion, the cost is not as high-- because yup, Self-compassion also reduces stress, self-criticism, and makes our life more ADHD Friendly. While many of us have realized that we must know how to take care of ourselves and our ADHD, there can be a tendency still to believe that we’re the problem or if only we could do this or that things would be better. But what if we can’t? Even if another younger version of us could? Our biggest consistency is often inconsistency and if we want to show up as our best versions of ourselves, it starts with self-compassion.

The one about shame
Hey folks, I'm going to be taking a little time off in December and I thought that I'd reshare a few episodes from the archives. Today we're going to be returning to an idea that has been a reoccurring theme in the last few episodes—how to change things up that are no longer serving us. We’re talking about how to manage shame, shame spirals, and considering ways that can reduce our sense of shame. We’re unpacking how we manage and what we say to ourselves when we are wanting, hoping, or waiting for things to be different. We're also going to be considering how we can be a little bit kinder to ourselves, and a few ideas on how to move towards the life we want.Sign up to Patreon to get access to exclusive content, early access to episodes, monthly group coaching calls, and more:https://www.patreon.com/adhdfriendlylifestyle Support me on PatreonConnect with me on:FacebookTwitterInstagramor ask me a question on my Contact PageFind the full show notes at https://adhdfriendlylifestyle.com/5-the-one-about-coping-with-shame/ Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.

29: the one about time & energy
Time and energy are limited resources that many of us struggle with, especially when we have ADHD--they can seem elusive and slippery, never quite under our control. We can understand how we experience both, how it matters for our day-to-day life, and consider some ideas to try for a more ADHD friendly life.

12 Coaches Corner Outtakes with Roxie Martin
The outtakes were so good, I couldn’t leave them out. Just like your favorite show’s outtake reel, these pieces may seem a bit more disjointed than a regular episode, I’ll use musical cues for when we switch topics. We start off lightly sharing our struggles with the question, “how are you?”, and then Roxie goes deep sharing how learning at 12 yo her father was black called into question her identity and ultimately helped her find pride. Then Roxie puts me into the hot seat asking me a few questions too. You might be able to tell when I become very passionate about one of my favorite things.Roxie Martin CoachingSupport me on Patreon and get exclusive content, early access to episodes, monthly group coaching calls, and more.Find me on Facebook Instagram TwitterFor show notes including next steps, resources, and articles on this topic, visit ADHD Friendly Lifestyle Thank you for joining us for today’s episode.
