Welcome back to the Yay for Business Podcast. In today’s episode, we are going to be talking about ADHD and pregnancy.

Now, you may be wondering why a business podcast is discussing the topic of ADHD and pregnancy. If you have been following me, you probably know that I got diagnosed with ADHD; I have shared my experience living with ADHD in previous podcast episodes. And I’m excited to share that I’m pregnant! During this pregnancy, I have really started to notice how hormones can affect your ADHD symptoms.

I wanted to put these two topics together because there are very few resources out there when you search pregnancy and ADHD. So today, I will share what I’m going through as a business owner and as a pregnant woman with ADHD, and the challenges I’m facing.

In today’s episode, we’re specifically covering:

• Struggling with ADHD symptoms since becoming pregnant
• Pregnancy and the pandemic lockdown
• Lack of structure during the pandemic and pregnancy
• Learning about self-compassion and getting frustrated
• Dealing with unsolicited advice from people

Be sure to tune into next week’s episode, where we will be talking about how to play into your strengths and leveraging your weaknesses. I’m so excited to talk about this because this is one of my themes for 2021!
