Really Riley

Since I was a little girl I always had a knack for wanting things just beyond my reach. I suppose that is what turned me into a driven human later in life. That and my uneditable fatih in fairy tales coming true. But when you are the the place where you have manifested your desire every trick on the book, and it just isn't coming to fruition, I'll let you in on some secrets to shift your perspective from impatiently waiting, to having power in letting go. If you can do that, you'll soon watch miracles happen. reallyrileypodcast.com Become A Part of The #WeGotThisArmy FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL Instagram @rileycouture @reallyrileypodcast @houseofwbyriley TikTok @rileycouture7 @reallyrileypodcast @houseofwbyriley YouTube @reallyrileypodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

If I'm being brutally honest I truly debated whether on not to answer one particular Ask Riley question for today's episode. I even considered editing it out after I told the story because there are a few things that are truly sacred in life. One of the most sacred being my marriage. However, after a heart to heart with the husband I decided to keep it very true to the promise of keeping it REAL here on Really Riley and answer this question in the most respectful way I know how. I also feel the need to add that the listener that sent the question in is very newly married, and I think being transparent about the ups and downs that happen after "I DO" is just as important and inspirational as any of the other raw stories I will tell on this podcast. So my hope is that you draw some commonality from me putting it all out there.

As a former single mom myself I can empathize with what it means to bring a child into this world knowing that you are more than likely going to have a very different road into parenting that someone who has a partner to help lighten the load. But rather than fear it, there is a whole community of parents that embrace it and choose to go it alone. In this episode I interview Erin, who is a single mom of two beautiful boys that she has chosen to conceive and raise solo. Erin realized from a relatively early age that she wasn't having the best luck in relationships but she was certain she wanted to be a mother and raise her children in as calm and enrichment as humanly possible. So rather than wait for the perfect person to come along and risk the chance of her fertility taking the chance at motherhood from her, she went on an IUI journey that resulted in her beautiful son, and later and IVF journey that gutfed her a second baby boy. He story is such an interesting an inspiring one that sheds light on the fact that there is entire community of families that are thriving outside of what some may say are the traditional norms.

This may be a bit of a throwback, but lately my ADHD has been rearing its ugly head at the worst possible times. So hopefully if you are in the same boat these tips and trick can help. In my experience ADHD is the type of disability that often gets overlooked or even discounted all together by those closest to you. Growing up getting that diagnosis meant that you were just hyper or you could sit still. Now having been diagnosed at the age of 38 I realize just how unfair and isolating it is to have your brain function identity than others and not truly understand why. In this episode I discuss the signs that you may be experiencing ADHD paralysis, its effects on everyday life, and tips on how to efficiently navigate through it. I also give the actual ADHD Self test checklist that my therapist used to help me find a diagnosis. My hope is that this podcast can also help steer you in the right direction and arm you with some knowledge of similar experiences when speaking to your doctor. #WeGotThis reallyrileypodcast.com Become A Part of The #WeGotThisArmy FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL Instagram @rileycouture @reallyrileypodcast @houseofwbyriley TikTok @rileycouture7 @reallyrileypodcast @houseofwbyriley YouTube @reallyrileypodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
