In this episode, I’m talking to Jason Zook, co-creator of WAIM Unlimited, about how to pivot your business or life without burning it all down.

We cover why so many ADHD entrepreneurs feel the urge to quit, what it means to “own your weird,” and how learning to trust yourself can change everything.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you need to start over — this conversation will help you take a breath, zoom out, and find a more sustainable way forward.

Feeling off, unmotivated, or like everything’s suddenly a slog? You’re not alone.

In this personal, unscripted episode, I’m talking about something I didn’t see coming—burnout. Again. Even though I’ve coached people through it, experienced it before, and know the signs... this round still hit me sideways.

But this time, I caught it before it got worse.

I’ll walk you through:

• The early signs I ignored (until I couldn’t)

• Why burnout isn’t always about being physically tired

• The difference between burnout and cognitive exhaustion (especially for ADHD brains)

• What I’m changing in my life and business to recover without quitting everything

• Why productivity guilt is so damn sneaky

• How I’m actually taking care of myself right now (and not just pretending)

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a busy ADHD’er, or just feeling fried—this one’s for you. If your brain feels noisy and everything feels like a chore, this episode might be the gentle nudge you need to slow down and check in with yourself.

Spoiler: You don’t need a 10-step plan. You just need a real conversation, some permission to pause, and maybe a margarita on a beach.

Let’s get into it.

If you wake up already feeling behind, race through your day with a constant sense of urgency, or struggle to relax without guilt — you might be dealing with time anxiety.

In this video, ADHD coach and creator Caren Magill explores the term time anxiety (yes, it's a real thing), how it shows up in daily life, and what you can do to manage it — especially if you're a high-functioning adult with ADHD or just chronically stressed.

You'll learn:

• What time anxiety actually is (spoiler: it's not just being "bad at time")

• How it shows up in your nervous system and daily habits

• The connection between control, productivity, and time-based panic

• Tactical strategies to reduce your time anxiety (from mantras to appointment detoxing)

✨ Whether you’re always late, always early, or always overwhelmed — this video is for you.

Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From world events to our personal lives, it feels like we’re all trying to make decisions without a map. In this episode, I’m flying unscripted and talking candidly about how I’ve been navigating uncertain times—emotionally, mentally, and practically.

I share a story about a friend stuck in doomsday thinking… and how I recognized myself in her fears. I also unpack the two common extremes we lean toward when the future feels shaky: chronic catastrophe thinking and delusional confidence. Been on both ends—neither feels great.

What if the certainty you’re clinging to is actually holding you back?

Inside this episode:

• How our brains fake certainty to calm chaos

• Why worst-case scenario thinking feels safer but actually makes things worse

• The surprising power of “delusional confidence” (and why it works)

• What I’m personally doing to ground myself through this weird season

• How to shift from inspired chicken 🐔 energy to snow leopard 🐆 calm

This is for anyone who’s tired of trying to control the uncontrollable—and ready to focus on showing up for what actually is within reach.
