Ever feel like the shame spirals are stronger than your will to keep going?

This episode is the messiest kind of real. I walk you through a day in my life. The ADHD brain spirals, the guilt, the survival routines, and the glimmers that help me hold it together (or at least fake it well enough). I’m not handing out perfection; I’m sharing what it looks like when you’re doing your best in a world that expects your best to look different.

We talk about meds, motherhood, meals that sometimes don’t happen, and what it means to truly give yourself permission to be human. If you’ve ever felt like you're failing just because you can’t do it all, I promise this episode will feel like a warm hug and a deep breath.
