The Hard Doesn't Always Make it Great (but sometimes it does).

This episode covers a lot of ground! Including but not limited to: what doing your best actually looks like. She talks about the One Voice Conference, her next move, her previous move, exercise, what she's learning lately, and how her girlfriends get her through. (Her dog Millie also makes an appearance.)

"I went to the One Voice Conference in Dallas recently and the conference itself was really good. I'm so glad I went - and ALSO there was still a lot about it that was really stinkin' hard. Let's talk about it!"

After the conversation, Abbie talks more about dysregulation in ADHDers, particularly the emotional dysregulation that can really knock a person for a loop unexpectedly.

NOTE: Emotional Dysregulation is not part of the official diagnostic for ADHD but more and more research indicates that it is a big piece of the overall dysregulation of our "spicy" brains. For more on this and other medical ADHD content, look up Dr. Sasha Hamdani @thepsychdoctormd.
