Immediately No
Living with ADHD, depression, and anxiety is like juggling a circus of emotions on a tightrope. So, when I'm hit with this unexplainable lack of motivation, it's like trying to solve a mystery without any clues. I find myself questioning the source of this sudden change. Is it boredom? Depression? Burnout? Or perhaps it's an unexpected blend of all three, conspiring against my creative genius.
The Burnout is real
The day starts at 6:50 am and more often than not, the day ends well after midnight. While I love having the time freedom of running my own business, let's be clear my days are completely at capacity. Every day there is no shortage of client and team calls, client projects, administrative tasks for the business, and mommy, and wife duties. Running a business while supporting a family is no walk in the park, and often times women frequently experience overwhelming feelings of burnout.
Throw the whole business away
Some days I have had to put in 12 to 14 hours to get things done only to sometimes ponder if the results are even worth all the effort. I have had days when I get so overwhelmed with my workload that my body freezes and I can't seem to physically get anything done. As much as I love being able to control my time and not having to answer to anyone, being the CEO is not for everybody.
Superheroes need rest too
Being a mom and a CEO definitely warrants the superhero title, if you ask me. But nothing is worse than also being the vessel that carries my own kryptonite, aka, my ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
