About this episode
Episode 114 with Trina Haynes.
“I’m in perpetual burnout. I try to do all the things and then my body gives up on me and I’m on my couch for a week. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember.”
Trina is an ADHD advocate and founder of My Lady Adhd, a robust online community for ADHDers. She was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult in her mid-30s and immediately began working to educate the public about ADHD and works daily to empower others.
In addition to her popular Instagram account, Trina teaches workshops & courses, and loves to speak about neurodiversity and the struggles & strengths faced by people with ADHD. She also just recently launched the My Lady ADHD podcast, so if you love her work as much as I do, make sure to check it out!
Trina and I talk about the healing power of laughing at ourselves and embracing the chaos of ADHD. We also talk about cycles of productivity, chronic burnout, and the compulsive need to do ALL the things RIGHT NOW. And we talk about the power of community building and finding ADHD friendships.
