This is Your Brain on Long Covid - ADHD, TBI, Anger, and Self-Compassion with Lissy Donovan
Hey, friends! Welcome to season 3, episode 9 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid podcast. This is a conversation I needed to have, and I'm so glad Lissy Donovan (my friend and a coach for people with busy brains) was here for it. I dive into my recent discovery of a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) I’d been pretending wasn't a thing for years, as well as my later-in-life ADHD diagnosis post-COVID. If you've been listening for a while, you know I don't know how to be angry. We talk about how I'm learning to process and even healthily express anger which is a truly revolutionary and scary idea for me. We also get into activism, self-care, and self-compassion. Lissy shares how she navigates Long COVID and ADHD.
Topics we gab about include:
ADHD diagnoses and hormonal changes
Anger expression and conflict's role in making relationships stronger
Music, dance, and well-being
Body image, societal pressures, white supremacy, and the broader systems of oppression
Engaging in activism while managing chronic illness, disability, and trauma
Reflections on personal growth
Social media habits
Lissy's experience with Long Covid and running her own business
Join us as we explore the intersection of ADHD, trauma, and chronic illness.
You can find Lissy at https://lissydonovan.com/ as well as Instagram and TikTok. Her YouTube channel is full of longer-form gems that are soooo helpful.
If you'd like to support me in my one disabled woman podcasting endeavors, I have an Amazon gift list that is completely unhinged. I also have an Amazon storefront you can use to purchase goods. I also sell long covid tshirts and other products on my Bonfire shop.
Over the last 1.5 years, I've built a playlist of my guests long covid theme songs. You can find it here.
