Ep 86 Do you suspect you have ADHD? Women with ADHD do NOT run around like boys on a playground. Goodbye stigma and hello executive skills and conversations. We need self compassion and SO much more! Meet Executive Coach and ADHD Coach Farah Jamil. In the main Episode, you will learn -Why women need to support other women with ADHD. -How to be a voice for women who look like us and different from us. -We are NOT defined by a diagnosis. -You can discover what works and does not work for you. -If you have met someone with ADHD, then you have met ONE person with ADHD. We are all different and have unique needs, challenges, and gifts. -The definition of RSD: Rejection Sensitivity Dysmorphia - a real diagnosis that is not well known. For highly sensitive people who feel the pain of rejection in their body as a physical sensation and prepare to hear the worst from others, taking things personally. Self-compassion is necessary. Good bye mean girl! Educate ourselves and look for those resources: ADDA, ADD.org, CHADD, and ADDITUDE magazine.
