Episode 7: Bouncing Back ADHD Style (Burnout, Intersectionality, and Beyond)

Welcome back to Episode 7 of the Got Your Back Podcast (yes, we’re alive)! 

In today’s episode we discuss our recent burnout experiences, catch you up on all things Grace and Georgia, and keep it real with the highs and lows of navigating life with ADHD. Today’s episode also introduces the concept of Intersectionality and we reflect on how the overlap of ADHD and gender identity, in combination with many impacts our experiences, identity, wellbeing and contributes to beliefs we’ve developed over time, and impact the way we navigate both the everyday and big life decisions.

We also explore how to start healing, including a general introduction of schema therapy, and how clarifying values and the role that society and intersectionality play in the ease of which we live an authentic life. Join us as we explore these topics and discuss how to bounce back with resilience and self-love. Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review if you enjoy the episode! 

And remember, we’re here now, we’re not going anywhere (well, at least not permanently,) and we’ve got your back. 

Chat soon, 

Grace and Georgia x
