Almost nothing about asking for help is pleasant, or easy, when you're dealing with the points of friction we've been covering in this series on getting help with ADHD. In this video, Colleen and Brittany discuss annoying things like the cost of support and being confused about what support to even ask for.

What do we do when we feel too exhausted to even ask for support? Especially with ADHD, sometimes it feels like asking will be more work than just doing the thing ourselves. Or we might feel too exhausted to even think about what support we need! Brittany and Colleen both know this feeling, have seen it with their ADHD coaching clients, have many thoughts on what this exhaustion can mean, and thoughts on how to emerge from it.

Especially with ADHD, Sometimes we worry that we are "bothering" people when we ask for help or support. Join Colleen and Brittany as we discuss why this is such a struggle with ADHD, offer countermeasures to overcome these fears.

Does the thought of reaching out to get support from someone else generate some level of fear for you? You're not alone. It is *actually* more difficult-- and scary-- to ask for support when you have ADHD! Brittany and Colleen discuss some different examples and levels of intensity of the experience of asking for help being scary.

Is it better to do something by ourselves, or do it at all? Colleen and Brittany discuss the myth of total self-sufficiency and why it is a struggle to ask for and find help when you are holding yourself to an invisible standard of going it alone to accomplish goals.

Want to meet with an ADHD Coach but not sure what topic will spark a productive session? Colleen and Brittany share some topics that really benefit from ADHD Coaching. Some ADHD Coaching topics are broad (like organization) and will naturally be narrowed down through the coaching process. And some coaching topics are more specific (like making a realistic budget) but will also need to be refined in order to understand the specific clients’ needs around it.

At the risk of sounding negative, Brittany and Colleen discuss topics which, by and large, often are challenging to engage with during a coaching session. Nothing is universal but it is important to note that these particular areas might mean a slower start to coaching or needing to pivot to something that is better suited to this form of support. (Don't worry, a list of more helpful coaching topics is coming, soon!)

You, too?! Join Brittany and Colleen as they discuss experiences that are common to ADHD but many people may not be aware are related. Things ranging from sleep to paperwork to lack of awareness of time to deadlines. We dive into things that make many of us pause and feel very seen (sometimes too much so) and say, “URGH YES, that’s me” and sometimes “I had no idea that was ADHD…”.

What’s different about a community led by ADHD Coaches? Brittany and Colleen can tell you! We share some of the perspectives we've gained throughout our working lives and the ways those viewpoints and skills contribute to a more successful and enjoyable experience for all of our members.

Ever felt like you can’t face a big task alone? Or miss having a study hall where someone was watching in case you weren’t actually doing your homework? That’s what Coworking (or Body Doubling) is! And you can Cowork with other friendly ADHDers!

Ever wanted a peak behind the curtain at how an ADHD group coaching session might work? Colleen and Brittany discuss how a support group specifically run by ADHD coaches can be an asset.

Could sharing a daily task list with other ADHDers bring success to your day? Brittany and Colleen discuss how members of The ADHD Guild use the potentially enormous power of posting a list of the tasks you're hoping to get done that day.

What’s the difference between individual ADHD coaching and ADHD group coaching? Different needs are served by both, and we talk about what kinds of ADHD needs we strive to support. We also talk how The ADHD Guild's community setting has supported real members’ growth and why this growth in our members warms our hearts.

I mean, you *could* keep struggling alone with your ADHD. But don't. Brittany and Colleen tell you why it is important to connect with other people who also have ADHD. We touch on aspects such as the warm and fuzzy feeling of being able to be yourself and feel accepted.

Brittany and Colleen chat about the reasons we added our expanded The ADHD Guild membership tiers. Especially our fundamental goal of reaching and supporting more folks with ADHD, regardless of the stage they are at in their ADHD journey, or their financial situation. If you have ADHD, are a nerd, and want to educate yourself on what having ADHD looks like, the ADHD Guild is for you!

Announcing new tiers of membership for The ADHD Guild! We are thrilled to expand the ways in which The Guild can serve the neurodiverse community. We think everyone should have the opportunity to connect with people who really get it when it comes to how our brains work. That’s why we’re introduced two lower-priced tiers for The ADHD Guild.
