ADHD Is… Why We Act Before We Think

Impulsivity is one of the most misunderstood parts of ADHD and one of the most impactful.

In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with ADHD impulsivity, from interrupting conversations to making risky decisions and how it shaped my life both positively and negatively.

I also share why impulsivity played a major role in my decision to stop drinking and how understanding my ADHD brain has helped me find healthier ways to cope.

We talk about

  • What ADHD impulsivity really looks like day-to-day
  • The connection between ADHD and addiction behaviours
  • Why ADHD brains act fast and think later
  • Emotional overwhelm, anger and impulsivity
  • How impulsivity can actually be a strength
  • Practical ways I regulate my energy and decisions
  • This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about living with ADHD/AuDHD, learning from mistakes and finding what works for you.
