If task-switching under stress wrecks your day, you’re not alone. Researchers have spent 20+ years studying executive functioning in ADHD, and honestly? Their findings are a bit of a mess.

In this episode, we break down a new critical review of the research (and trust me, the we have some thoughts). We’re talking hot executive functioning, emotional overload, and why decision-making goes out the window under stress.

What you’ll learn:

• Why your brain freezes in high-pressure situations (and what science says you can do about it)
• The real reason ADHD professionals struggle with task transitions and emotional reactivity
• What this research tells us about why we cry over emails (yes, really)
• Practical, science-backed tools to reset your brain after an emotional overload

There’s a reason ADHD professionals burn out faster—and it has everything to do with how we process stress. Let’s break it down.
