Do you ever think "Man, I am feeling so lazy?" This is a common misunderstanding when you live with an ADHD brain! The truth is that one big battle that we are faced with is something called "ADHD paralysis", which is when we are up against a big task and our mind goes on overload, we freeze!

In this episode, you will hear from actor and comedian, Connor DeWolfe. I share one of his "ADHD Tips" comedy skits. It will be a fun piece of the episode to listen to a few times. You will find humor, connection, and it will be a great conversation starter too! He mentions "ADHD paralysis" in the skit and that's what I run with for the rest of the episode!

You will learn how to combat this frozen state with movement, snacks, sunlight, music, and connection. Another thing that Connor mentions is body doubling, which is working alongside someone else! I hope you can take and apply these strategies the next time you are faced with feeling frozen!

Being "kind" sounds like such a simple thing to do, but honestly it takes a lot of practice to show kindness to others and yourself! In this episode, you will hear from Christina Dankert, who is a teacher, author, and mama of 2 kiddos. She will share more about the power of being kind to others and yourself!

Is there a kindness machine inside of you? If so, what does it look and act like?! How can you show kindness to yourself and others through your words and actions today?! Take time to reflect while you listen and learn the value of kindness!

You can find Christina and pre-order her book, "The Kindness Machine" from her website! http://Christinadankert.com

I hope each of you have a day filled with kindness!

Who else dreads the hustle and bustle of many mornings?! Once we open our eyes to start our day, a flood of executive function skills are being called on and that can just put you in a state of overwhelm and cause emotions to take over, going in a downward spiral if we let it! This is where you can make a choice and a change!! You are an ADHD warrior who can find the armor that you can put on each morning to make it run more smoothly and feel calmer. It may be a checklist, reminders and alarms set, a whiteboard with "to dos" written in order and then you get the satisfaction of erasing it when it's finished! Are you willing to identify the areas of struggle that are causing the chaos? Are you willing to create structure and routine that works best for you and your needs? Are you willing to build in time to find your own calm and space to get your mind filled with the dopamine it needs to feel more motivated, more focused, and ignited with a joy chemical that will start your day out in a positive direction?! This is all possible! You will be able to interact with this podcast and come up with your own morning success routine!

Send me a message at www.katelynmabry.com to share what is working best for you or email me directly at katelynmabry4@gmail.com if you'd like to guest on this podcast or even send me an audio clip sharing part of your ADHD journey!!

I hope you all have a super blessed day! You are loved and so valued! I love being here with each and every one of you!
