It's The ADHD-Friendly Show | Personal Growth, Well-being and Productivity for Distractible Minds

I took a break from this channel because I needed to get honest with myself.Over the last year, I realized I’d outgrown parts of my work, my identity, and even the version of myself I’d been performing for a long time… and I didn’t know what was next.In this video, I share:why my business and content started to feel flatwhat early retirement unexpectedly brought up for methe difference between creating as an entrepreneur vs creating as a creativehow coping, performing, and adapting can blur your sense of selfwhy this season feels less like falling apart and more like transformationThis is a personal update, but it’s also for anyone who feels stuck in between who they were and who they’re becoming.This channel is changing.I’m changing.And I’m letting that happen out loud.If you’re navigating reinvention, identity shifts, burnout, or the urge to create something more honest… you’re not alone.Thanks for being here.Let’s talk about becoming in 2026.

Just a quick note this week to wish you all a happy holiday season. I'm going to take the next few weeks off podcasting and would love to know what you would like to hear more about in 2026!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about a completely different way to figure out what you actually want… not just for the new year, but for your whole life.If you’ve ever tried to think your way into clarity, this is your reminder that your body often knows the truth long before your brain catches up. I’m sharing how I’m navigating my own life transition — from testing out a new city to questioning what’s next in my work — and why the real answers only appeared when I stopped overthinking and started feeling.We’ll talk about:• How to tell the difference between joy and contraction• Why ADHD “starting and not finishing” is actually a strength• What Morgan Housel and Martha Beck taught me about trying things• A simple embodiment exercise that reveals your North Star• How to use your body to guide your decisions in 2026• Why your next chapter won’t come from logic… but from sensation

If you live in a constant loop of “I am so overwhelmed” and “I’ll do it later,” this episode is for you. I am breaking down why ADHD brains get stuck in overwhelm and procrastination, what is actually going on behind the scenes with your executive function, and the specific behaviors that changed everything for me.We talk about the shame spiral that comes with never feeling caught up, why procrastination is not technically an ADHD symptom but shows up constantly, and how time blindness, low interest tasks and emotional dysregulation all team up to derail your day.Then I walk you through practical tools you can use right away, including a simple time awareness experiment, how to externalize your time management with alarms and prompts, and how to build a weekly planning rhythm that actually works for your ADHD brain. This is a small taste of what I teach inside my Distraction to Action productivity framework.If you want to feel less overcommitted, stop resenting your “past self” for saying yes, and finally know what to do with that never ending list of projects, press play.
