Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure

Latest Episodes:

Cart Before The Horse Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about over versus underpreparing in conversation with ADHD and the curse of all-or-nothing-thinking when it comes to *actually* getting stuff done. They discuss how planning for something big (like a new web series...) can be made even more stressful by the idea that it has to be perfectly done or not at all, and how scary it is to be on the verge of something big, especially when you never know when that hyper-fixation will wear off.

Gas Tanks and Pilots Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss a therapy breakthrough (and perspective adjustment) that Cate recently had. We talk about ADHD task management, how 'leaving things until you HAVE to' can make more work on the back end, and how frustrating it is to feel immobilized by not having enough momentum to start. In the back half, they make the biggest announcement in Infinite Quest history and ask if there are any experts in the house. Get ready, Summer 2022 is going to be WEIRD.
