Struggle Care

I was just looking for a random new podcast…I wasn’t intentionally looking for this type of help but I like a variety of what I listen to. So that fact that I randomly clicked this and it relates to my current struggle with my husband and I. Him and I both have Bipolar and ADHD…but we have different functioning struggles. I can comfortably stretch myself super thin and care for everyone and don’t require a ton of “me time” and I don’t have an addictive personality so when I’m done with something I just drop it. My husband on the other hand requires a lot of “me time” and needs to reset more often and has an addictive personality. I can also ignore the mess of our kids until I can really get to it properly, but he goes and cleans it right away and gets frustrated when the kids mess it up right away. So finding this balance to help us both out has been amazing. We are starting to better understand each others highs and lows.

I love how KC has a variety of topics and guests, I feel like she really strives to know others perspectives. I appreciate the one about Special Education. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this episode! So many parents don’t know their rights and how to advocate for their children with disabilities, at no fault to them, it is a difficult and sometimes daunting process! This is so encouraging to hear, I love how KC is able to empower those that need it the most 💕

KC does a great job bringing her own experiences into the podcast to make it super relatable and helpful!

KC's Ted Talk (and later book/social media/podcast) changed years of self-shaming about my messiness. I tried so hard. Read every organization book. Got diagnosed w ADHD. Constant conflict w ex-husband bc he was neat. Churchy people saying that "Jesus was not being glorified" in my home and my kids will be embarrassed to have friends over. Funny we were always the house with ALL the kids over. Got out of that group, thank Buddha! 😆 KC's content put a pin in all that shame and I do my best in little chunks. Funny that my house is actually more functional. Meds help more now without the shame holding me Back. 👍💕
