How I Live with my Imposter Syndrome

This is what I experience every day as a woman with ADHD:

The intense pressure of being expected to excel and constantly expecting to fail, the crippling inner shame, and intense guilt and anxiety, feeling frazzled, and being clueless how to explain why my ADHD brain won’t focus to those who need to know is totally draining. ADHD in women is largely unknown in the UK, misdiagnosed and largely goes untreated.

My Online Courses and my Imposter Syndrome

I created 15 popular online courses, choc full of ADHD knowledge and hands-on, simple and life changing  tools. The feedback I get is phenomenal. Yet my Imposter Syndrome and my Perfectionism,  two common traits in  those with ADHD, stop me from feeling a real sense of satisfaction and achievement. I have more courses that are gathering dust in my google drive folder because I feel too ashamed to publish them. My Perfectionism doesn’t let me share them with the world. Until recently I didn’t think they were good enough to spread with the wider audience.

 I have shared these courses with my clients. They loved the course content and they gave genuine positive feedback. Why haven’t I made them available for more ADHD women to benefit from?  The reason… I am terrified that these  courses are either, not professional enough, outdated, or just not good enough…

I have worked so hard on addressing my Imposter Syndrome (Perfectionism) in my life, and there is still so much to work on.

ADHD Success Comes Through Facing More Fears

I have bravely faced those google drive folders, and my ADHD shame of “not being good enough”  I have decided to either bin them or edit/expand and publish them…

My fears of “not being good enough” were totally unfounded. Fear stands for “False Expectations Appearing Real.”

My video editor spruced up the videos and totally transformed them!

If even one person learns something about their ADHD, this will be worth it.

Success is Your Action. Results come from G-d.

This blog was originally posted on my previous website in 2021. Since posting this blog, I turned those google drive videos into online courses.
