Ever worked so hard for something, only to feel... nothing when you finally achieve it? In this episode, we dive into why success doesn’t always bring the satisfaction we expect—especially for ADHDers and neurodivergent minds.
From dopamine crashes to constantly moving the goalpost, we unpack a bit of the psychology and neuroscience behind post-achievement emptiness and why the chase often feels more rewarding than the destination. Tune in for insights, personal experiences, and some ideas for ways to break the cycle and actually feel your wins.
