Hi friends - happy Thursday.
On today's episode, I chat about having ADD. Trail and error can be frustrating when you're dealing what I sometimes refer to as "squirrel brain". With parents who were both in the field of psychology, they knew instantly what I was dealing with.
Listen in as I talk about how I organize "Tina Z with ADD", and eight simple, proven rules that I follow.

Happy Thursday all!
This week, I talk about some challenges I've experienced over the last few weeks. After getting sick, I felt so lost - but also so stressed and worried about losing everything in my career.
But then a friend asked me a simple question, and it helped put everything into perspective for me.
Listen in as I chat through my experience. I hope it helps to give you perspective, no matter where you are at in your life and career.
