Скачать или смотреть Lindsey Buchanan: Releasing shame and finding self-compassion

Episode 201 with Lindsey Buchanan.

“ADHD doesn’t always feel like you’re the abnormal one — often it just feels like everyone else isn’t cooperating.”

Lindsey is an ADHD and executive functioning coach and a member of our Women & ADHD coaching team. We talk about the surprising way she got diagnosed (spoiler: her psychiatrist sister broke it to her), the relief she felt after finally finding her people, and how self-compassion has been a cornerstone of her journey.

We also talk about the role of exercise and how vital it is for ADHD brains, we talk about how Lindsey has moved past some of her shame spirals around lateness and organization, and the ways she now made a career out of helping others “unwrap their gifts” through ADHD coaching.

In this episode, Lindsey and I discuss:

Lindsey’s path to an adult ADHD diagnosis and how it reframed her life story
The role of family, genetics, and self-advocacy in her journey
Navigating shame, indecision, and societal expectations as a woman with ADHD
The importance of movement, exercise, and honoring your needs
How Lindsey transitioned from the corporate world to ADHD coaching
Lindsey’s favorite tools and strategies for building self-awareness and self-compassion, including values work and the satisfaction wheel
The power of community, asking for help, and redefining success
Lindsey’s coaching philosophy: helping clients “unwrap their gifts” and integrate their strengths into daily life
