Episode Synopsis
Let’s Talk About Guilt
In this episode, I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind a lot lately - guilt. The constant, creeping kind that shows up even when I am getting things done. Whether I’m working on my business, spending time with my daughter, or just doing something I enjoy, there always seems to be a part of me asking, “But what about everything else?”
Since my ADHD diagnosis, I’ve become more aware of the way guilt intertwines with overwhelm, productivity, and even joy. I talk about the difference between guilt and shame (with a nod to Brené Brown), why we don’t need to earn our rest, and how I’m learning to challenge that inner voice that says I should always be doing more.
This one’s honest, unfiltered, and a little windy - but if you ever find yourself stuck in that loop of “I should be doing something else,” I think you’ll relate.
Dog Walk Thoughts. Join me, Clare E Kenny, as I take a stroll with my four dogs and dive into everything workplace culture, mental health and wellbeing. From navigating leadership, culture and wellbeing at work and sharing my journey with a recent ADHD diagnosis, to exploring practical tools and tips to elevate your own wellbeing – I’ll bring you along for the walk and the real talk. Let’s chat, learn, and grow together, all while enjoying some fresh air and furry company!
