Send us a textSteph sits down with writer, academic, and fellow ADHD-er Wendy Robinson to talk about how she wrote an entire novel in six months—while working full time and managing ADHD. This is a must-listen whether you're a writer, a creative, or just someone juggling a big project with a neurodivergent brain. Spoiler: it's not about willpower—it's about systems, self-compassion, and knowing your brain.Wendy wrote her novel in 6 months (!), thanks to structure, support, and knowing what works for her ADHD brain.They talk about the real executive functioning challenges that come with ADHD and how women especially are impacted.Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is real and so relatable—especially when launching creative work into the world.Steph and Wendy bond over the “good girl” ADHD diagnosis story—how so many women go undiagnosed because they weren't disruptive, just “daydreamy” and perfectionistic.Wendy shares her systems for getting big projects done: think writing retreats, body doubling at coffee shops, and her trusty “go bag.”The Parking Lot and Forward Only strategies are game-changers for staying focused and avoiding perfection paralysis.Why many ADHD women procrastinate by being too productive—but only for other people.Writing accountability groups are magic. External motivation > internal guilt.How Wendy redefined success: It's not about the book deal. It's about keeping promises to yourself and finishing the damn manuscript.Substack, querying, and how to cope when rejection stings like a wasp.“You don't have to do it. But you'll regret it if you don't.” —On choosing your pain and finishing creative work.

In this deeply personal episode, host Sharna Southan opens her heart to share the profound "why" behind writing her upcoming book on pregnancy loss support. Moving beyond logistics and outlines, Sharna takes listeners into the defining moment that changed everything—walking into an ultrasound room pregnant and leaving empty, only to discover that the silence and dismissal that followed was almost as devastating as the loss itself. This isn't just another story about grief; it's a call to action for systemic change in how we support women through reproductive loss. Key Topics Covered: The Defining Moment The ultrasound experience that changed everything What medical professionals don't tell you about pregnancy loss The physical reality: contractions, clotting, and trauma no one prepared her for The emotional aftermath of medical dismissal The Systemic Problem: Why we don't just have a grief problem—we have a training problem How professionals want to help but lack the proper tools The silence that surrounds pregnancy loss experiences Why women are walking through devastating moments without adequate support The Solution: A New Approach The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method taught internationally Training professionals to hold space for grief that "bleeds" Language, tools, and frameworks for better support Understanding pregnancy loss as postpartum experience Who This Book Is For Women feeling broken and bleeding in silence Partners who feel invisible in their grief Professionals who want to help but feel helpless Anyone who's felt dismissed after pregnancy loss The Instagram to watch the book journey unfold: Loss Support & Certifications: @insitituteofhealing.losssupport Connect with Sharna: Apply for the Certification: Here Biz Mentorship: @instituteofhealing_pl Podcast: @pregnancyloss_podcast Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify For those seeking guidance and support, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone, and there are resources and communities ready to help you through your healing journey.

They discuss the importance of trusting the process of personal growth, the dangers of people-pleasing, and the significance of embracing change and letting go of old identities. They also emphasize that everyone has a story to tell and that writing can be a transformative journey. Takeaways Detachment is a lifelong journey of shedding societal expectations.
