Description

Those of us with ADHD brains know that no matter how vigilant we are, slip-ups are bound to happen, especially when sleep deprivation is thrown into the mix. We can only do so much to prevent mistakes, but what we can control is how we choose to react to them. This episode I’m joined by ADHD coach and reformed people-pleaser, Leslie Robbins, who took an embarrasing ADHD moment and turned it into a brilliant teaching opportunity.    Like me, Leslie believes that what we pay attention to grows, good or bad, so we might as well learn to focus on the good. Besides, there’s no such thing as mistakes anyway, right? We either get what we want or learn something even more important. Join us as Leslie shares her late diagnosis story, some ways to stop from spiraling into rejection sensitive dysphoria, and the importance of not taking ourselves too seriously.  Resources: Instagram: @leslierobbins_adhdcoaching     Facebook: Robbins Life Coaching, @LeslieRobbinsADHDcoach   Email: leslie.robbins.adhdcoach@gmail.com   Website: leslierobbinscoaching.com   Gas pump story: My Gas Pump Debacle   VIA Character Strengths Survey: https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/Register
