ep 194: ADHD & Overwhelm: How to know what to pause (without dropping the ball)


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed and not sure what to set aside when life feels too full? In today’s episode of Do I Have ADHD?, I’m sharing my personal process for deciding what to pause, what to prioritize, and how to adjust systems when everything feels equally important.


As ADHD women, we often struggle with hierarchy—everything feels urgent, from family routines to work deadlines to personal projects. I’ll walk you through:

  • How I decide what must stay at the top of my priority list (faith, family, health).
  • What falls in the “middle ground” (work, my ADHD coaching collective, etc.).
  • What gets set aside when overwhelm hits (social events, extra projects, even this podcast sometimes).
  • Practical examples from my own life—like chaotic mornings, meal prep, and reworking systems at home.


If you’ve ever wondered how to create more breathing room without letting everything fall apart, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to make confident decisions—even when ADHD makes it hard to choose.


Whether you’re a mom juggling school mornings, a college student navigating late nights, or a working woman trying to manage overwhelm, you’ll find encouragement and practical strategies here.
