    390 Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back (Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging and How to Finally Stop)

    If you’ve ever set a goal, made a plan, felt excited… and then somehow done the exact opposite—welcome to the ADHD self-sabotage club. In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful class from inside my ADHD coaching membership, FOCUSED, all about self-sabotage—why it happens, what it actually means, and how to finally understand what’s going on in your brain. But before we get into it, a little context: Right now, I’m intentionally taking the path of least resistance to support my ADHD brain and protect my energy. Instead of creating brand-new content from scratch while feeling stretched thin, I’m sharing some of the most impactful classes I’ve already taught inside FOCUSED. And this one? It got raving reviews. Members told me: “This explained my brain in a way I’ve never understood before.”“I finally see what’s happening when I get in my own way.” So if you’ve ever told yourself: “Why can’t I just follow through?”“What is wrong with me?”“Why do I keep sabotaging myself?”This episode is going to shift how you see yourself—and your ADHD. Because self-sabotage isn’t a character flaw. It’s a pattern with a reason. And once you understand it, everything starts to change. Watch this episode on YouTube Want help with your ADHD?

    386 A Very ADHD Episode: Deep Feelings and Random Reels

    This episode is… very ADHD. We start with a quick revisit of ARFID after hearing from a listener who shared a powerful personal experience. Then we dive into your voicemails—covering everything from the heavy question of how to repair damage we worry we’ve done to our kids, to a very relatable struggle: emotional “doom piles.” And because no ADHD episode would be complete without a little delightful distraction, we wrap things up by watching some hilarious ADHD reels together. It’s thoughtful, honest, a little chaotic, and full of those “wait… is this just me?” moments. If you’ve ever had a brain that jumps track mid-sentence, you’ll feel right at home here.

    384 Do It the Easy Way (The Hard Way Is Keeping You Stuck)

    What if the easiest version of the task is actually the smartest one? In this episode, we’re talking about the path of least resistance — and why for ADHD brains, it’s not laziness. It’s strategy. The path of least resistance is the version of a task that: Requires the least activation energyUses the least executive functionHurts the leastGets you moving the fastest Not the A+ version. Not the neurotypical version. The version you can actually do. So why don’t we take it? Perfectionism. Russell Ramsay calls perfectionism the number one cognitive distortion in adults with ADHD. It sounds like, “If I’m going to do it, I have to do it right.” But “right” usually means the hardest, most optimized version — which often means we don’t do it at all. We’ll talk about: Why 70% done changes your lifeHow all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuckThe moral layer that makes “easy” feel like cheatingWhy the hard way is often the never-finished way Plus, I’ll give you a simple coaching tool to use when you’re stuck: What is the easiest possible version of this? Because forward motion builds momentum. Momentum builds self-trust. And self-trust changes everything. Watch this episode on YouTube Want help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED!
