Problem solver or problem creator? The ADHD Paradox

Many ADHD leaders are brilliant in a crisis.
Quick thinking. Pattern spotting. Calm under pressure.
But what if the same brain that thrives in urgency is also quietly creating it?

In this episode, Michaela explores:

  • Why ADHD nervous systems light up in chaos
  • The link between dysregulation and “micro-mistakes”
  • Shame loops around small accidents
  • The difference between responsibility and self-attack
  • Why slowing down sharpens your leadership rather than softening it

If you’re tired of constantly fixing fires - this conversation will help.
