From Stuck to Started: Executive Function & ADHD Coaching to Take Action

042: When a 5-Minute Task Feels Impossible: What’s Really Going On with Amy Voros


Listen Later

Have you ever told yourself, “I just need to send that email”—and then… not done it for days (or weeks)? In this conversation with fellow coach Amy Voros, we unpack the phrase “I just need to”—why it feels so small but can actually signal something much bigger going on beneath the surface. From emotional overwhelm to unclear next steps, we talk about how getting stuck happens and what to do about it.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why “I just need to…” can be a red flag for hidden barriers
  • How lack of clarity (even when you think you're clear) leads to inaction
  • The emotional weight of putting things off and how it builds over time
  • What it means to be “consistently inconsistent” with ADHD
  • Micro-steps and mindset shifts that can help you get unstuck
