EP. 249: Adieu Beautiful Mama: ADHD and Grief

Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here : https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup ___ This is the hardest episode I've had to record to date. In truth, I've been avoiding it like the plague, which means procrastinating everything so I don't have to go there, but I knew I had to do it for my beautiful mother. Since starting this podcast back in 2019, many of you have asked for an episode on grief. Just like my episodes on trauma that took years, I dug my heels in because the words I was telling myself sounded like, "how can you talk about grief when you haven't experienced it?" Unfortunately, I am now part of this illustrious club that no one wants to be part of. In this episode I talk about grief and how those of us with ADHD may handle it differently, from time perception challenges to social challenges to how we react in a crisis. But first, I hope it's okay that I share the story of my incredible mother because hers is a story that I need to tell. ______________ Resources: Preorder the book, ADHD for Smart Ass Women Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
