It's The ADHD-Friendly Show | Personal Growth, Well-being and Productivity for Distractible Minds episodes

  • I tried slowing down but my ADHD brain wasn't having it

    RESOURCES MENTIONED

    • Function Health comprehensive lab panel I used

    • My weekly planning video


  • I tried to “slow down” because I was bored with my work… and it actually made me feel worse. In this video I share what six weeks of experimenting taught me about ADHD boredom cycles, nervous system dysregulation, and why rest can feel unsafe when your brain is stuck in go-mode.

    • Why boredom hits every few years and makes us want to blow up our lives

    • When “slow living” spikes anxiety instead of easing it

    • The labs that clarified what was physiological vs psychological

    • Gentle routines that actually helped my energy and mood

    • How I’m rebuilding structure without white-knuckling productivity

    • A kinder way to decide what to keep, tweak, or let go

    This video is for you if…

    • You’re ADHD-ish and get bored with your work on a 2–5 year cycle

    • Rest makes you antsy and you “can’t not do things”

    • You suspect stress hormones are part of the picture

    • You want calm structure and momentum without burning out

    • You crave more humanity online and less performative hustle

  • how to *actually* REINVENT yourself (without being consistent)

    📚 My ADHD productivity & planning tools → https://adhdfriendly.myshopify.com/collections/all


    If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, I can’t keep doing this, this video is for you.

    In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how to reinvent yourself — even if you’re inconsistent, impatient, or not naturally disciplined. I’ve reinvented my life multiple times: from a 210-lb high school dropout and bartender… to a coach, creator, and calm, grounded adult who actually loves her life.

    Inside this video, I walk you through the recipe that makes real reinvention possible — no overnight transformations, no fake “new year, new me” nonsense. Just the honest, practical, ADHD-friendly process that’s worked for me every single time.

    You’ll learn:
    💡 The single belief that makes reinvention possible
    🧭 How to get clear on who you actually want to become
    🪞 Why getting quiet helps you hear your own truth again
    💬 How to challenge the stories that keep you stuck
    🔁 The “one habit at a time” approach that actually lasts
    💨 Why letting go of things matters more than adding more
    🌍 The environment trick that accelerates change
    🕰 How to protect your time, energy, and focus while you evolve
    💫 And the mindset shift that makes persistence easy (even when consistency isn’t)

    Whether you’re changing careers, relationships, habits, or your entire identity — this is the guide I wish I had years ago.

    If you’re ready to reinvent yourself, this video will give you the tools, the belief, and the calm structure to start today.

  • The burnout you've NEVER heard of (because it’s self-induced)

    Feeling the weight of ADHD burnout? You're not alone. In this video, I'm sharing my personal journey through a career slump, where boredom led to a lack of dopamine and made consistency incredibly challenging as an ADHD coach and creator.

    If you've been struggling with motivation, feeling stuck, or experiencing the exhaustion that comes with ADHD burnout, this video offers a transparent look at how I'm navigating it. I'll cover:

    • Why boredom can be a major trigger for ADHD brains, leading to a dip in motivation and productivity.
    • My strategy for reigniting interest and finding joy in my work again.
    • The power of learning and growing in public to stay accountable and connect with others facing similar struggles.
    • How I'm making small, intentional tweaks to my business—like exploring new platforms and content formats—instead of a complete overhaul.
    • My plan to slow down, be creative, and intentionally shift towards what truly energizes me by the end of the year.

    This isn't about quick fixes, but about understanding the unique challenges of ADHD burnout and finding sustainable ways to thrive. Join me as I share my progress and insights, and let's navigate this journey together.

    Don't forget to like and subscribe to follow along with my journey to overcome boredom and reignite my passion!

    Click Here to Grab Vision to Action

    Executive paralysis, life “on fire,” and the quote that haunts ADHDers: “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.”
