EP. 215: Anxiety, Rumination and Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone with Amanda Feliciano

ADHD for Smart Ass Women with Tracy Otsuka

In my 200th episode I made a callout for someone to come on the podcast who’s been listening for a while, but who doesn’t think they’re accomplished or successful enough to measure up to my other guests. I personally know having interviewed hundreds of ADHD women at this point, that regardless of how much we've done in our life, we still think we haven't done enough. So I challenged our listeners to raise their hand, because every listener resonates differently with every guest and we can learn so much from each other regardless of our age or where we happen to be in life. Well, listener Amanda Feliciano took a giant leap out of her comfort zone and volunteered for the challenge despite her fears, and I’m so glad she did. Amanda, who’s a customer service representative by day and the co-founder and president of Full Circle Theatre Collective by night, has seen huge changes in her confidence, anxiety, and self-talk since receiving her ADHD diagnosis at 32. Her story is a great example of what we can accomplish when we get out of our ruminating brains and into action, and I hope Amanda’s leap of bravery inspires you to take even the littlest step out of your own comfort zone–I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with just how much you’re capable of.
