Ever wondered about the intersection of ADHD and PMDD? You're not alone. In our latest episode, we invite you to join us on an insightful journey with our special guest, Cym, as we delve into the complexity of these interconnected conditions. Cym’s experience of her PMDD diagnosis leading her to an ADHD revelation offers a perspective that's rarely discussed, providing a sense of validation for those living with both conditions.
Cym didn't just stop at identifying her conditions, she leveraged this knowledge to create accommodations that fostered her wellbeing. She reveals how her coaching journey re-charted her course from the brink of burnout to a path of self-discovery, helping her build confidence, clarify her core values, and understand her needs better. We also touch upon the overlooked 'ADHD tax' and the profound effect an ADHD diagnosis can have on mental health.
Life with ADHD can be tough, but Cym’s story is one of resilience. We talk about the daily challenges of ADHD, rejection sensitivity, and the pressure of perfection, but also, how Cym is using her diagnosis to manage these challenges. We discuss the role of medication, understanding energy limits, and how to prepare for life's big events. Navigating ADHD is a constant journey, and we hope Cym’s tale will shed light on the path for others. Join us in this episode for a deep dive into ADHD, PMDD, and most importantly, self-understanding.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLY WEDS… we hope you had a magical day!
