278: How to Reset Your Dopamine & Reclaim Your Focus (Without Shame)


Listen Later

Hey friends!

This episode has been a long time coming—and it’s one I think all of us need. Whether you’ve been struggling to stay focused, constantly grabbing your phone without thinking, or feeling a little too dependent on your daily scroll or snack, you’re not alone.

I hear women say all the time, “I think I have ADHD,” and honestly, most of us are living in a world that practically guarantees distraction. The rise of cheap dopamine—from social media, food, shopping, and more—makes it so easy to choose quick hits of pleasure over the deeper, more fulfilling stuff. And it’s leaving us more disconnected, drained, and scattered than ever.

In this episode, Emme and I talk about:

  • The difference between cheap dopamine and deep, sustainable dopamine

  • How dopamine works in the brain (especially for ADHD-type minds)

  • The emotional roots of our screen time, scrolling, and snacking

  • Why awareness without shame is the key to real change

  • And how to reclaim your attention, purpose, and peace—one tiny reset at a time.

  • This is for you if you’ve ever felt like your brain works a little differently (same, friend), or if you want practical, grace-filled steps to use your time and energy more intentionally.

    We’re not here to shame you into change—we’re here to help you fall in love with how your beautiful brain works and give you tools to work with it, not against it.

    So grab your coffee (or your cozy walk shoes), and let’s have a little heart-to-heart about how to stop chasing quick fixes and start living from your true, joy-filled self. 💛
