Chasing Mindfulness: A Chat on ADHD, Goals & Embracing Opportunities

Join Julie and Tony in 'Love ADHD' Episode 17 (and a half, due to earlier technical issues) as they discuss the balance between structure and flexibility in their lives, their experiences with self-imposed structures, and how they're gradually transitioning to a more mindful approach to life. They mention their struggles with interactions, miscommunications, time management, and even their physical appearances. They reveal how setbacks are opportunities for self-discovery and share their growing acceptance of 'doing and being.' They also discuss how certain activities, such as pickleball and meditation, have therapeutic effects that help them stay regulated. This frank and open conversation revolves around their insights on relationships, careers, socially compliant goals, and validation. The hosts demonstrate resilience, humor, and unshakeable positivity through their ADHD journey.
