EP. 37 Working with Your ADHD Brain with Megan Kierstead

Half-Finished to Done Podcast with Cristina Roman, Productivity Coach for Ambitious Business Owners

If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect that you might have it, or have someone close to you who is neurodivergent (hint: you probably do!), this episode is for you.

And if none of this applies to you, listen anyway! Our fast-paced society creates symptoms for people that mimic ADHD, so you’ll get something from this episode, no matter what.

In this episode, I'm joined by Megan Kierstead, a certified coach for forward-thinking badasses with rebel brains. She helps people (especially those who identify as neurodivergent/ADHD) build a career and life unique to their bodies and brains.

Listen in as we discuss:

• What ADHD is, and how it affects the nervous system The role of motivation in ADHD, and how to influence your motivation
• How to make articulating your emotions and thoughts easier, so that you can start to shift them
• How to make things easier for your Future Self through retrospective reflection and troubleshooting
• The concept of play, and the many research-backed benefits of embracing it
• Why half-finished projects don’t have to be a problem
