    What is your biggest challenge with ADHD? This episode sponsored by: EXPLORE FOCUSAUR ON KICKSTARTER What does it actually mean to have ADHD as a high-achieving professional? Dr. Jennie Byrne has spent 20 years answering that question. She's a psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and mom. Her new book, ADHD in Professionals: Embracing Your Brain, is written specifically for the people who get told they're too high-functioning to have ADHD. Spoiler: that's not how it works. In this episode, we get into the neuroscience of why task-switching is so depleting, what a real ADHD assessment should actually include, and why so many high-achieving moms are doing fine at work and falling apart at home. (There's a reason for that. It's not what you think.) Dr. Jennie also shares a client story that will make you want to rethink one thing in your evening routine right now. Quick win for this episode: if you keep putting off taking care of your own ADHD, frame it this way. Managing your own brain is how you become a better parent.

    Breaking Free from Burnout: ADHD, Sobriety, and Finding Balance with Heather Simco

    What is your biggest challenge with ADHD? This Episode is sponsored by Focusaur: EXPLORE FOCUSAUR ON KICKSTARTER Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/focusaur/focusaur-the-ai-focus-console-for-deep-work-and-habits?ref=7lobq3 You've been white-knuckling your way through life. Heather Simco did too. For decades. Before the coaching, before the sobriety, before the clarity, Heather was a high-achieving woman building an empire in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world, running at a hundred miles an hour, and quietly falling apart on the inside. Undiagnosed ADHD. Alcohol as a coping mechanism. A life held together by overcompensation and sheer will. Then a car accident took away the last thing she was using to hold it all together. What came next is the part nobody talks about. Not just getting sober. The actual work of figuring out who you are when the titles, the goals, and the coping mechanisms are gone. Heather is now a transformation coach with 12 years of sobriety, a 21-year-old daughter with ADHD, and a front-row seat to what it actually looks like to build systems that work for a brain like yours. She calls herself the chaos coordinator, and she means it. In this episode, we get into: Why the first thing Heather does with every overwhelmed mom is a time inventoryThe difference between extremes that feel comfortable and balance that actually worksHow she raised an ADHD daughter without starting with medication, and what that taught her about self-awarenessThe guardrail metaphor that will completely change how you think about getting off trackWhy one tiny system, done consistently, builds more than a hundred new strategies ever willHeather's quick win at the top of this episode is simple. It costs nothing. And it takes five minutes the night before. Connect with Heather at heathersimco.com or find her everywhere at @HeatherSimco. If a three-day reset in Naples, Florida sounds like exactly what you need, get on her retreat waitlist now. Quick Wins for ADHD Moms is built for the mom who looks like she has it together and is quietly exhausted. If that's you, you're in the right place. Support the show Loved this episode?

    ADHD and Perfectionism: Why "Good Enough" Doesn't Compute (and What to Do About It)

    What is your biggest challenge with ADHD? This Episode is sponsored by Focusaur: EXPLORE FOCUSAUR ON KICKSTARTER Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/focusaur/focusaur-the-ai-focus-console-for-deep-work-and-habits?ref=7lobq3 If you are surrounded by half-done projects and hating yourself for it, this episode is for you. Perfectionism is one of the most common cognitive distortions in women with ADHD. It is a symptom, not a character flaw. And there is actual neuroscience behind why your ADHD brain crashes at 80 percent done and cannot cross the finish line. In this episode I walk you through the four doors into ADHD perfectionism (armor, the procrastination loop, RSD, and all-or-nothing thinking), the dopamine reward pathway dysfunction that causes the 80 percent crash, and exactly why "just lower your standards" is the wrong advice. Then I give you The 70% Drop. A simple, concrete move you can do today to retrain your brain, ship one half-done thing, and start breaking the shame cycle. What we cover: Why perfectionism is an ADHD symptom, not a flawDr. William Dodson on RSD (and why 99% of us have it)The 80% dopamine crash, explainedHow all-or-nothing thinking traps ADHD momsThe 70% Drop, step by stepSupport the show Loved this episode?
