I have ADHD and generally feel that I’m failing as a mom/wife/human. I have a part time hourly job (that I love and is good for my brain, but I’d never be able to live on). I’m constantly beating myself up for missing the gym, writing sessions, not starting a Substack, scrolling instead of reading, not finishing my novel or screenplay, failing my kid, wasting my potential, etc. etc.
You’re so incredibly accomplished and reading the relatively unvarnished truth of your life: struggling, not journaling daily, missing workouts, needing help to be your best self as a parent has been more helpful to my personal self talk than a course of CBT.
Anyway, I hope your August is better, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing even when things suck.
Appreciate your honesty with your readers about your difficult July... I am feeling it too and soooo ready to recharge. I worked out only once this week - it's just one thing, but I usually workout daily. LIFE takes a swing in a different direction sometimes, and our flow shifts. But you're still going... and it will get better.

I hope everything goes well with your mom's surgery, and I'm sorry for your loss. Glad you're giving yourself a little grace this upcoming week.
I’m so sorry for your loss and hard month. Getting older is not easy.

I can’t wait for the new Star Trek!
