It's going be a very different episode this week but it's one I think you will get a lot of value from. I love to keep ADHDFest as uplifting and solutions focused as possible but without transparency, there's a danger of crossing over into toxic positivity. Sometimes, ADHD is just sh*t and it's ok to say that. So rather than hide the burnout that has hit me HARD this week, you're going to hear in real time how it feels, what triggered it and how I'm choosing to work through it. Listen in, find the parts you resonate with and get my best tips for tried and tested burnout strategies.I would love to hear what you take from today's episode.

Have you seen the memes???The ones going around social media that say it's not possible to form habits with ADHD 😭😬 I'll be honest, they scared the life out of me. What's the point in trying if a disability dictates it's impossible😐 THEN I did my research (and some self reflection) and realised not only is there no scientific backing for that hypothesis, but we KNOW that can't be true! I'm willing to bet you have formed plenty of bad habits right? And if you dig deep, there will be some positive ones in there too - it's all about HOW we form those habits that dictates whether we lock them in or not. It is absolutely possible for ADHDers to create a habit, we just need a system specific to our brains! On reflection, I have created a wealth of healthy habits. Since my diagnosis I: Exercise regularly, follow a mindful morning routine and daily gratitude practice, follow a weekly planning and organisation routine and consistently post this podcast every Friday! For all of these achievements I can trace their success back to Four Simple Steps that I'm sharing in today's episode.I would love to hear about your habit wins and how this episode helped if it does.

Story Time!!! ADHDFest has started 2024 with a bang🎉, so I'm here to share the secret to how I've done it (so far!)🤫Career has always been my ADHD Achilles heel. Although I'm sure I've looked successful over the years - I was an actress on prime time television and in theatre, working alongside celebrities such as Sheridan Smith, Greg Davies and a fair few Noughties Popstars in my Panto days (any Steps/Sugababes fans in the house?) - but acting work is unpredictable and antisocial, there's very little downtime and you travel to wherever the work is.I'm a homebird at heart and after I had my son, Theo, I never wanted to leave him, so I needed another plan🤷‍♀️ . Enter Tara the Entrepreneur!💪 Aside from acting, I have had roughly 8 different careers, including 3 different businesses and I have enjoyed them all.... but it came time to create something of my own, from scratch, that I would never get bored of. That's where the idea of ADHDFest was born and in today's episode, you will hear the strategy that has built that idea into a full time business! 🔥❤️Members Only Accountability Podcast: The Body Doubling ClubADHDFest Burnout Bible: ⁠The Burnout BibleFree Resource for Right to Choose Assessments: UK assessment bundleNewsletter here: Sign Up for UpdatesInstagram: ADHDFestFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDfest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_festWebsite: https://www.adhdfest.comDisclaimer: I am not a medical or mental health professional.

People Pleasing, or the "Fawn" response, is prevalent in those of us with ADHD, it's a natural result of spending years being misunderstood by the culture but also ourselves. You may think you're just a kind, empathic, helpful person (and you probably are!) but people pleasing has nothing to do with any of those things and is actually very damaging in the long term. It leads to burnout, inauthentic relationships and a loss of identity - I speak from personal experience! But what I can also tell you from that experience....is that it doesn't have to be that way. It can feel scary but I promise, once you learn how important it is to listen to and respect your own needs, life will become SO much easier 🥰 you will wonder why you kept it up for so long!If you enjoy this episode please share it with your friends and keep the conversation going 🎙🙌Members Only Accountability Podcast: The Body Doubling ClubADHDFest Burnout Bible: ⁠The Burnout BibleFree Resource for Right to Choose Assessments: UK assessment bundleNewsletter here: Sign Up for UpdatesInstagram: ADHDFestFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDfest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_festWebsite: https://www.adhdfest.comDisclaimer: I am not a medical or mental health professional.
