This first podcast episode dives into a topic I discuss often with my clients—procrastination and being stuck. As an executive function and ADHD coach, I know all too well how these issues stop you in your tracks. I share my personal journey of starting this podcast and how anxiety, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome showed up. Find out exactly what I did to get unstuck. If you're someone who struggles with getting started and is extra hard on yourself about it… this episode is for you!
