| Ep 84 | Holding Back the Tide - Struggling with Impulse Control?


Listen Later

Why do we sometimes speak before we think, make snap decisions, or struggle to resist that one-click purchase — especially as women with ADHD? In this episode, Renee talks about the three types of impulsivity that show up in everyday life: acting without thinking, not being able to stop ourselves even when we want to, and choosing instant gratification over long-term goals.

You'll learn:

  • What's happening in the ADHD brain during impulsive moments

  • How serotonin and dopamine are involved in different kinds of impulse control

  • Everyday examples of impulsivity that might surprise you

  • Simple, supportive strategies to help you pause, plan, and feel more in control

Whether you struggle with blurting, interrupting, or making fast choices you regret later — this episode will help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped. It may even help you understand other people in your life who deal with this, too!

Thanks for listening!
