About this episode
In this week's More Yourself episode, I wanted to share a snippet from a recent guest workshop in the More Yourself Community.In this clip, Belinda Edington, executive functioning coach and director of MindSpark CIC, joined the More Yourself Community to offer a gentle yet powerful reframing of what executive functioning really is and what it means for women with ADHD.If you’ve ever wondered why things that seem simple for others, like starting tasks, managing time, or staying focused, feel impossibly hard, this session brings clarity, compassion, and hope.Belinda breaks down the science behind executive functioning and helps us move away from shame or self-blame towards understanding and support.In this clip, we explore:How executive function skills show up in everyday lifeThe difference between knowing what to do and being able to do itThe connection between ADHD, emotional regulation, memory and motivationWhy struggles with focus, planning or impulsivity are not personal failingsThe role of compassion and scaffolding in building executive functioning skillsTimestamps:05:46– What is Executive Functioning?07:03 – Metacognition and Memory Explained13:00 – Time Blindness16:18 – ADHD and Misdiagnosis17:00 – Reframing Laziness17:55 – Neuroplasticity and Building New Skills18:35 – Tools to Support Executive FunctionThis is a reminder that your challenges are not about willpower; they’re about brain function.
