• 360 I Almost Lost a Huge Opportunity to Rejection Sensitivity (But Here’s How I Came Back)

  It’s been a while since we dropped a solo episode, and today I’m sharing something personal, vulnerable, and—honestly—encouraging. Because even after twenty years of living with ADHD and five years of deep healing work, rejection sensitivity still shows up for me. The difference now? I know how to support myself through it.In this episode, I share an update on my book (spoiler: I'm almost done writing!), answer a listener voicemail, share a helpful resource, and then take you behind the scenes of a recent rejection-sensitivity spiral that almost kept me from attending (and speaking at!) the CHADD conference. I walk you through exactly how I navigated the emotional storm—step by step—so I could do the work I’m meant to do.This isn’t a story about never feeling big feelings again. It’s a story about what becomes possible when we learn to move through them with skill, compassion, and self-trust.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ll “grow out of” rejection sensitivity or if you’ll always be derailed by it, this episode is a reassuring reminder: RS may not disappear, but your capacity to handle it absolutely can grow.Brick Code: https://www.getbrick.app/KRISTEN37887Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

• 358 The Day I Hired a Frontal Lobe: How Paying for Help Pulled Me Out of ADHD Chaos

  This week, Kristen chats with Bill, Creative & Executive Director of ArtPhilly, who is currently helping mastermind a city-wide arts festival for America’s 250th birthday. He’s smart, creative, high-capacity… and, like many ADHDers, he hit the limit of what his frontal lobe could juggle.And then? He hired help — aka he hired himself a frontal lobe.And everything changed.This interview is full of laughs, honesty, and so many “OMG SAME” moments.In this episode, Bill talks about:His ADHD story and how long he tried to push through on grit aloneThe stuckness and overwhelm that finally made him say, “Okay… I need an extra brain”What the hiring process was actually like — awkward, liberating, and so worth itWhy paying for help isn’t indulgent — it’s ADHD brain maintenanceHow getting support expanded his peace, confidence, and capacityThe big idea:If you’ve ever told yourself, “I should be able to do this myself,” Bill’s story gives you the permission slip you’ve been waiting for. If you have money to spend, hiring help isn’t a luxury — it’s a way of outsourcing executive function so you can actually live the life you’re trying to build.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?
