10: How to Regulate Your ADHD Nervous System During Hard Times 02.06.2025 21:00
When something genuinely hard happens, your ADHD nervous system makes it harder. Because a dysregulated brain is working against the exact thinking you need most. This episode is for anyone with ADHD who is in the middle of a hard season and can't figure out why regulation feels so out of reach. I get into why your brain might actually be holding onto the dysregulation, including the guilt of feel...

ADHD and dopamine are connected in a way that goes well beyond "just get more dopamine." I break down why quick hits from s...

I'll walk you throu...
6: Why ADHD Perfectionism Is a Defense Mechanism 05.05.2025 28:24
You're not a perfectionist because you have high standards. You're a perfectionist because your nervous system thinks it's keeping you safe. If you've been stuck, depleted, and further behind despite working so hard, this episode is for you. ADHD perfectionism is a defense mechanism rooted in fight-or-flight, and once you see it that way, you can actually start to change it. I'll walk you through...
