Decision Making with ADHD: Beyond Impulsivity and Overthinking


Listen Later

Welcome to the seventh episode in the Entrepreneurs with ADHD series, an interview with my good friend, Cathy Rashidian, who is a corporate dropout turned ADHD coach and works with professionals and business owners. 

Cathy is one of my favorite thought partners and content collaborators (we have a monthly LinkedIn Live on ADHD-related topics like toxic resilience and later in life discover of neurodivergence. 

In this convo, Cathy and I dig into the weighty subject of decision making and the variety of challenges folks with ADHD have, from impulsive choices we didn’t think through all the way to overthinking to the point where we don’t decide at all.  No matter what your tendency,  there are actionable insights in this episode that you can begin using today. 

Here are some of the highlights: 

🌟 How to intentionally step into your thought processes to prevent ADHD from hijacking your decision-making.

💡 Deciding with your “3 Brains” by tapping into logical thinking, emotional awareness, and gut instincts to make balanced decisions.

💪 Embrace the importance of self-awareness and accepting imperfect decisions with grace, ultimately leading to more confident and intentional choices.

🧠 Strategies for reducing cognitive load, making repetitive choices, and prioritizing important decisions to balance rigidity and flexibility 

📘 Book Recommendation: Barbara Sher’s "Refuse to Choose" can revolutionize your approach to decision-making and provide the permission to not always choose, giving you the liberation you need.

Cathy mentioned during the interview:

  • Thomas Brown, PhD
  • Russel Barkley, PhD
  • Bruce Schneider - Holographic Thinking
