The theme for this episode should be "Wednesday is going to happen". No matter how we feel about life, the depression, the overwhelm, the joy or the sorrow...Wednesday is still going to happen. And I would like to help us put a lasso around it and be the one in control of it.

234 - ADHD and Depression: Understanding "I Can't"
02/03/2026 | 16 mins.
This is a very timely episode. There are a couple of "I can't"s in my world. Exercise and meditating. Today I'll explain how that feels to me and what I'm doing about it. Summary of my "Plan it in Advance" challenge: 1) Forget today. Set a timer for 10 minutes and plan the task for a specific time tomorrow. 2) For me, this is meditate minimum of 2 minutes and goal of 20 minutes...daily. 3) I win if I can do the planning in advance 30 days in a row. 4) Bonus if I meditate the full 20 minutes at least 3 times in those 30 days.

233 - How to Get Things Done When You're Depressed or Overwhelmed
23/02/2026 | 22 mins.
This is timely for me. Having a low mood state doesn't eliminate the crap on my plate. Taking a break from my overwhelm and anxiety doesn't magically eliminate the items off my to do list that need to happen. Life keeps happening while I'm drowning, so let's talk about what we can do about it (after the rest, of course, if that's the order of the day). Want to get in on this round of the book club?
