Attention Deficit Disorder & Me
I am one of the lucky girls with ADHD who was diagnosed very early on in life. My mother (a teacher) was relentless when it came to finding out what was “wrong” with me. When I was underachieving in middle school, she had my IQ tested. When it came back far above average, she commenced on an expedition that led to doctor after doctor trying to “fix” my problems with daydreaming, procrastination and staying organized.

The meeting was with the global CEO and the top brass of the ad agency where I worked (all men, naturally). I wanted to convince them to allow me to start my own business (using a process I’d created as an employee) while keeping a relationship (and source of revenue) with my employer.

How to Stop Negative Self-Talk
It wasn’t until an evening session with my therapist in 2019 that it occurred to me how negatively I talked to myself. I was very new to therapy and was still hesitant to dig deep, when a self-deprecating joke bounced out of my mouth nonchalantly.
