Can You Be Too Honest With Your Clients?
I've decided to be transparent with my clients about my struggles. I've found that it's helped me to build trust with them and to avoid unrealistic expectations. It's also been helpful to have their support when I'm feeling overwhelmed or unfocused. Of course, there have been some challenges. I've lost a few clients along the way.

Immediately No
Living with ADHD, depression, and anxiety is like juggling a circus of emotions on a tightrope. So, when I'm hit with this unexplainable lack of motivation, it's like trying to solve a mystery without any clues. I find myself questioning the source of this sudden change. Is it boredom? Depression? Burnout? Or perhaps it's an unexpected blend of all three, conspiring against my creative genius.
