Description

Welcome to An ADD Woman podcast with host Lacy Estelle, writer of all things about ADD parenting and an ADD mother on Mothering the Storm with Lacy Estelle at www.LacyEstelle.com. Here on An ADD Woman podcast, we're going to switch it up and talk about all things to do with ADD as an adult woman and how we deal with it. Now maybe you’re thinking, “Women don't really have ADD, do they?” Actually, we do. We've all just been doing such a great job of masking it for years! So, let's dive in and talk about everything that ADD touches in our lives. And when I say everything, I mean, everything! When you have ADD, there is not one thing it doesn't affect. I'm so glad you're here. And if nothing else, I hope that you take away from this, that you are not alone, you are not lazy, you are not stupid and you are definitely NOT crazy. You just have ADD and you're just like me.

For many people, adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis is very much like grieving the loss of a loved one.  We move through phases of shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and hope, all normal processes that readily apply to learning to live with ADHD. Listen as Lacy discusses these stages of grief and what it looks like for so many of us with ADHD when we similarly grieve our ADHD brain.  She shows how 2 Corinthians 7:11 leaves us with perhaps the most important purpose, that God often will use any grief (including over ADHD) to produce a fervor in us to return to devotion of Him. Foundational Scripture: For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter. 2 Corinthians 7:11, ESV Resources & Links Episode 12: Lacy’s Story: ADHD in Your 20s, Part 1 Episode 13: Lacy’s Story: ADHD in Your 20s, Part 2 Healing ADD by Dr. Daniel Amen at Amazon Reach out to Lacy Estelle via: Email: podcast@anaddwoman.com Facebook group: @anADDwoman Instagram: @anADDwoman Website: www.anaddwoman.com Lacy’s Facebook group:  Mothering the Storm Accountability and Support GroupSupport the show
