Episode Synopsis

Hi – we're Nicky and Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together...Since you last joined us, we've both been dealing with the anxiety of preparing for important events in our lives.So in this episode we dig into: wrestling with overwhelming logistics, unknown unknowns, fear of cataclysmic eventualities, hierarchies of need, trying too hard to think - and basically wanting to take EVERYTHING! We move on to how (and that!) we survived... notably the power of understanding and managing our emotions, including recognising our screaming 'inner-chimp' and then persuading it to go and sit quietly enjoying a nice banana.... With heartfelt thanks to Professor Steve Peters for his brilliant books, including: 'The Chimp Paradox', 'A Path Through the Jungle', and 'My Hidden Chimp' for children.If you enjoy our podcast, please would you take a min to help us reach others by subscribing, rating the show, and/or leaving us a review - and telling all your friends : ) – it really does help us 'connect'!You can see photos & reels and keep in touch with us on instagram:@theadhdconnection_podcast– and find out more about us, and/or contact us, at:www.nickyshipp.coachcarrieovertoncoaching.comThanks so much for joining us on our ADHD journey,Carrie and Nicky
