Caroline Hirons - THE JOYS OF ADHD
Manage episode 323163483 series 3329178
The concept of ‘superpowers’ can be a bit UGH when you’re really feeling the challenges around ADHD, but there are definitely massive upsides to having this so-called disorder. Caroline Hirons epitomises everything that’s great about having ADHD – she’s bold, she’s imaginative and she makes shit happen. She cites hyperfocus and ‘considered fearlessness’ as some of what’s steered her unconventional career path to ultimate glory.
One of the original beauty bloggers, Caroline now has two bestselling books – Skin Care and Skin Care The Edit – her own company, and a skincare line – Skin Rocks - on the horizon. She spearheaded the Beauty Backed Trust’s life-changing support of beauty professionals affected by the lockdown restrictions, and she’s the advocate that will do whatever it takes to raise you up, whether you’re a friend, colleague or one of her four kids.
In this episode we take a deep dive into how to cope with a mind that’s always on the go. Caroline shares how ‘NO’ people have helped channel her impulses, her tools for dealing with overwhelm and what someone with nearly 700k followers does after an unfortunate ADHD blurt. Caroline also reveals what it’s like to parent when both you and your kids have ADHD.
