    When a Big Decision Flops: What I Learned (and What I’m Letting Go Of)

    Ever made a thoughtful decision that didn’t work out—and then spiraled into shame about it? In this deeply personal episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of shutting down a business idea I spent years thinking about and only months executing. This isn’t just about business—it’s about ADHD decision-making, self-trust, emotional processing, and giving yourself grace when something doesn’t go the way you hoped. If you’re someone who overthinks, overdoes, or overcommits (hello, same), this story might give you the permission and perspective you didn’t know you needed. I’ll walk you through what led to my decision, how I managed the fallout, and the most powerful shift that helped me exit the shame spiral and come out more grounded, self-aware, and aligned.

    How to Get Yourself to Do Things You Actually Care About

    As an ADHD coach for high-achieving adults, I see this all the time: you want to start the business, file the taxes, train for the race—but you just can’t seem to get yourself to follow through. Not because you’re lazy or unmotivated, but because ADHD brains work differently. In this episode, I walk you through nine tactical, ADHD-friendly strategies that can help you break through resistance and build consistent action—even when the process sucks. I use my own battle with weightlifting (ugh) as an example, and share the exact tools I’m using to finally make progress without burning out. Whether your goal is fitness, business, or finally doing that thing you say you want to do, this episode is packed with mindset shifts, environmental tweaks, and behavior hacks to help you actually move forward. Here’s the people I mentioned in the video Stacey Sims Lorretta Loves to Lift @trainwithjoan (on instagram)

    You're smart, but your distractibility is telling you otherwise

    We’re not just talking about garden-variety distraction here. This is about the deeper, sneakier kind: the kind that hijacks your focus, derails your day, and makes you question your intelligence (been there). In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with distraction, what actually helps (no shame-based hacks here), and the real reason it’s not your fault, but it might be your beliefs that are getting in your way. We’ll talk: Why your attention isn’t a character flaw The science of boredom and dopamine How distraction is deeply connected to your physical and emotional state Why your working memory might be setting you up to forget everything And how self-awareness is the real secret weapon Whether you're neurodivergent, menopausal, or just trying to stay sane in a chaotic world, this one’s for you.
