The 5-Minute ADHD Unfreeze Guide: Stop Staring and Start Moving

Ever find yourself frozen—knowing exactly what to do, but unable to start? That’s ADHD paralysis. It’s not laziness or lack of willpower—it’s your brain protecting you from overload. In this episode, Coach Mande John breaks down why it happens and gives you the tools to break free fast.

You’ll learn the 4 hidden triggers behind ADHD paralysis and discover how to reset your brain, calm your body, and take one small step forward.

💡 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
• The real reasons behind ADHD paralysis (and why it’s not your fault)
• 4 common triggers: information overload, perfectionism, low dopamine, and stress/fatigue
• Body-based reset techniques that instantly get your brain moving again
• Micro-actions that make any task startable
• Supportive self-talk and 5–10 minute timer tricks to bypass perfectionism
• How to build your personal “When I’m frozen, I will…” action plan
