I Have ADHD Podcast

390 Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back (Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging and How to Finally Stop)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever set a goal, made a plan, felt excited… and then somehow done the exact opposite—welcome to the ADHD self-sabotage club.


In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful class from inside my ADHD coaching membership, FOCUSED, all about self-sabotage—why it happens, what it actually means, and how to finally understand what’s going on in your brain.


But before we get into it, a little context:

Right now, I’m intentionally taking the path of least resistance to support my ADHD brain and protect my energy. Instead of creating brand-new content from scratch while feeling stretched thin, I’m sharing some of the most impactful classes I’ve already taught inside FOCUSED.


And this one?

It got raving reviews.

Members told me:

  1. “This explained my brain in a way I’ve never understood before.”
  2. “I finally see what’s happening when I get in my own way.”


So if you’ve ever told yourself:

  1. “Why can’t I just follow through?”
  2. “What is wrong with me?”
  3. “Why do I keep sabotaging myself?”

This episode is going to shift how you see yourself—and your ADHD. Because self-sabotage isn’t a character flaw. It’s a pattern with a reason. And once you understand it, everything starts to change.
