Listen "Gratitude, Grace and Grit"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when ADHD meets the chaos of midlife? When emotional regulation collides with hormonal imbalance, and everything—focus, patience, even mental stability—feels like quicksand?
In this powerful, heart-forward episode, host Tera Greenwood explores three pillars that help ADHD minds survive and thrive through life’s hardest seasons:
Grace — learning self-compassion when your brain and hormones feel like they’re working against you.
Gratitude — how small, intentional moments of appreciation can rewire emotional regulation and ground an overstimulated mind.
Grit — the quiet persistence that keeps us moving, even when motivation disappears and life feels heavy.
Tera shares candid stories from motherhood, leadership, and late-diagnosis ADHD, while weaving in current research on self-compassion, dopamine, and how menopause magnifies emotional dysregulation. It’s a raw, relatable conversation for anyone who’s ever wondered: “Why can’t I keep it together right now?”
