Reflections from Springboard co-founder Laura MacNiven

Storytelling is central to the human experience. 

From birth, we look to each other to survive, attach, and belong. And to make sense of it all, we form stories about ourselves and those around us. We quickly learn our perceived strengths and weaknesses and adapt to what the people around us (seem to) value, want, or need from us.

Reflections from Springboard co-founder Laura MacNiven

As someone who generally has an abundance of energy, I have found these past 18 months a lot. Finding the zip to face the constantly changing landscape has required me to think differently about how I show up and with whom.

And as someone who coaches other adults and parents in their mental health journeys, I hear many similar stories of struggles to continuously adapt.

As summer weather kicks in, and we start to regain our social lives (slowly but surely), we all have a lot to unpack about the past year and a half. It has been a time of challenge, self-introspection and real hardship for so many.

 As we all brace for a holiday season that will look very different this year, we thought this self-reflection exercise might be useful.

Springboard’s Laura MacNiven had the chance to chat online courses with David Greenwood from Overcoming Distractions in Episode 79 of his podcast.

When Jessica from howtoadhd.com puts out a new video, it is always worth a watch. Most recently, she created one about how to work from home with ADHD. It is definitely worth your time!
