Today we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough when it comes to ADHD, performance, and productivity: energy fluctuations.
Everyone has good days and bad days—but with ADHD, low-energy days can completely hijack your executive function.
On those days, task initiation, focus, and follow-through feel nearly impossible.
Instead of falling into the all-or-nothing trap, I’ll show you how to create a Plan B routine—the middle ground between doing it all and doing absolutely nothing.
You’ll learn how I set up my workweek in a way that supports both high-energy and low-energy days.
I’ll also walk through how I reframe my expectations, adjust my dashboard, and practice self-compassion so I can still get the bare minimum done (without spiraling).
This approach has completely changed how I handle “bad brain days,” and it might help you too.
✨ In this video you’ll learn:
Why ADHD and energy dips hit harder than for neurotypicals
How to recognize when you’re in a low-dopamine state
The biggest mistake people make on low-energy days (and what to do instead)
My exact Plan A vs. Plan B setup for productivity
Practical tips to meet yourself where you’re at—without shame
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay afloat when your brain and body say “nope,” this video is for you.

In this video, I'm talking about A decision-making framework to help ADHD adults overcome overthinking and make clear, aligned choices using a data-driven scoring matrix (yes, I am a nerd).
Here's what we cover:
• Overthinking stems from a lack of self-trust and leads to paralysis instead of action
• ADHD brains paradoxically add more to their plate when feeling overwhelmed instead of simplifying
• The solution is a scoring matrix that evaluates options across important metrics like effort, enjoyment, and income
• Making decisions data-driven but internally aligned helps you move from spinning to clarity
• Focus on making the decision right rather than making the right decision - most choices can be pivoted later
If you're a late-diagnosed ADHD adult, coach, or entrepreneur looking for strategies that actually work with your brain, this video has practical insights you can implement right away.

Here's what you'll learn:
• Why ADHD adults live in dysregulated nervous system states most of the time, thinking it's normal when there's actually a calmer way to live
• The five nervous system states from polyvagal theory: ventral vagal (regulated), sympathetic fight mode, sympathetic flight mode, dorsal shutdown, and dorsal freeze mode
• Practical regulation tools that cost nothing and take no time: reducing caffeine intake, morning walks without earbuds, deep breathing, and somatic check-ins
• Safety includes both external factors and internal narratives - feeling unsafe with yourself affects nervous system regulation
• Connection and co-regulation with other people is essential for maintaining nervous system health, even for introverts

If I could go back in time, these are the 5 decisions I’d make for my ADHD all over again — no hesitation.
Living with ADHD isn’t easy, but over the years I’ve made a few life-changing choices that have completely transformed how I think, work, and feel. In this video, I’m sharing the five things that made my ADHD life 100% better — from getting the right diagnosis to building boundaries and finding tools that actually work for my brain.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’ve known for years, these lessons can help you:
✅ Feel more in control of your time and energy
✅ Build relationships that truly support you
✅ Create a life that feels calmer, more intentional, and way less chaotic
I’ll also share the mistakes I made along the way, what I wish I’d done sooner, and how you can apply these ideas to your own ADHD journey.

Ever said yes when you meant no? This video is for you, especially if you have ADHD and tend to make impulsive decisions that you later regret. Learn how to practice more **self control** and **saying no** to avoid **over commitment** and **regret avoidance** using **life navigation** techniques.
In this episode, I walk you through **nine tactical, ADHD-friendly strategies** that can help you break through resistance and build consistent action—even when the process sucks. I use my own battle with weightlifting (ugh) as an example, and share the exact tools I’m using to finally make progress without burning out.
Whether your goal is fitness, business, or finally doing that thing you say you want to do, this episode is packed with mindset shifts, environmental tweaks, and behavior hacks to help you *actually* move forward.

If you’ve ever wondered why your brain checks out right when you need it the most—this video is for you.
We’re not just talking about garden-variety distraction here. This is about the deeper, sneakier kind: the kind that hijacks your focus, derails your day, and makes you question your intelligence (been there).
In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with distraction, what actually helps (no shame-based hacks here), and the real reason it’s not your fault—plus a simple tool that’s helped me stay on top of my chaotic mind: The Limitless Pendant — your second brain in wearable form.
We’ll talk:
Why your attention isn’t a character flaw
The science of boredom and dopamine
How distraction is deeply connected to your physical and emotional state
Why your working memory might be setting you up to forget everything
And how self-awareness is the real secret weapon
Whether you're neurodivergent, menopausal, or just trying to stay sane in a chaotic world, this one’s for you.

If you have ADHD (or just a busy brain), you know the pain of novelty wearing off—and with it, all motivation to plan. In this video, I’m sharing the **real secret** behind a planning system that lasts **years**, not days. Spoiler: it’s not about finding the fanciest AI-driven template—it’s about building a **skill** around **tracking what matters**, **executing with intention**, and **reflecting with purpose**.

In today’s video, we’re unpacking why so many of us with ADHD fall into the trap of doing too much—and how it’s often rooted in something deeper: not knowing what "enough" feels like.
I’ll walk you through:
Why ADHD brains chronically overcomplicate
How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and low self-trust fuel burnout
A reframe that changed everything for me: high value, low effort
How I’m using this mindset shift in life, business, and relationships
A powerful question from James Clear that might just blow your mind
🎯 Whether you're building a business, managing friendships, or just trying to keep your energy intact—this approach will help you do less while creating more value (without guilt).

It's almost July and I just realized I completely forgot about my New Year's goals... sound familiar? 😅
This isn't your typical "perfectly curated plan with me" video. This is for the real ones - the ADHD entrepreneurs, the busy parents, the humans who make plans and then forget they exist until halfway through the year. If you've ever felt like you're failing at your goals or that traditional planning just doesn't work for your brain, this one's for you.
In this video, I'm doing a brutally honest mid-year review of my 2025 goals (spoiler: I'm nowhere near most of them and that's okay!). I'll walk you through my real process for:
Taking inventory of what's actually working vs. what's been half-assed
Identifying what still matters vs. what you've outgrown
Trimming the "shoulds" that aren't actually yours
Finding your ONE focus for the rest of the year
No shame, no guilt - just real talk about recalibrating and resetting with intention. Because sometimes "failing with intention" is better than mindlessly chasing goals that don't even fit your life anymore.

In this video, I’m breaking down the 5 ugly truths about running a business with ADHD — the hard stuff no one talks about — and how to finally build something that sticks.
🎯 Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in “idea land,” or wondering why you never finish what you start, this episode is for you.
👀 What you’ll learn:
• Why starting too many ideas is wrecking your self-trust
• The real reason you lose interest in your business
• How poor executive function silently sabotages your growth
• Why structure isn’t optional (even if you hate it)
• How to make your ADHD strengths work for you
👉 Stay till the end to hear my personal story, plus the system I finally built to stay organized and consistent (after burning out so many times before).

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.
📍 Let me know where you land on the spectrum: panic-mode prepper or overly-optimistic manifestor?
In this episode of The ADHD Friendly Show, I break down the subconscious habits that are making your life harder than it needs to be. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have known about your ADHD for years, these insights will help you create more ease, lightness, and enjoyment in your daily life.
✨ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why blaming your ADHD for things you "can't do" is holding you back
- How negative rumination creates a chemical cascade that makes everything harder

Here's why that's total BS.
People get to know, like, and trust you when you're authentically being yourself while adding value to their lives.
The problem with prioritizing consistency over authenticity or value is that whatever it is you're producing feels forced - and your audience can see right through that.
So optimize for value and authenticity, and worry less about being "consistently consistent". There are ways to work around that (just ask me - I use them all the time).

I'll show you how to overcome decision paralysis and finally get things done without the overwhelm. Plus, I'll reveal which popular productivity method you should AVOID with ADHD. Perfect for busy, ambitious minds who want to stop spinning and start focusing on what truly matters.
#ADHDproductivity #ADHDprioritization #ADHDfocus #executivefunction
I share my personal journey of discovering that we weren't built for consistent mediocrity - we were built for occasional brilliance. Instead of fighting your nature, learn how to identify what truly matters in your life and direct your consistency efforts ONLY to those areas. I'll show you how I've learned to be selectively consistent with my health, business, and relationships while letting go of society's expectations around everything else.
Stop feeling like a failure for not being consistent at things that don't actually matter to you. It's time to work WITH your ADHD brain instead of against it.

But here's the truth about building a business:
It's not about grand gestures or perfect execution. It's about small, consistent actions that you actually complete.
The strategy is simple but powerful:
Take small, manageable actions
Pause and acknowledge completion
Let it sink in that you set an intention and followed through
This process literally rewires your brain's narrative. Each completed task becomes evidence that you CAN and DO follow through.
Remember: A successful business isn't built on occasional heroic efforts. It's built on small, unsexy tasks done consistently.
Your amygdala is wrong. You are capable.
And the only way to prove it is through action.

As an adhd life coach who understands the value of adhd coach strategies, I need to address the increasing requests for free business coaching advice about starting an ADHD coaching practice. While I deeply appreciate our community, I can't provide individual consulting sessions to everyone seeking guidance. My coaching clients and coaching packages require dedicated time and energy, which means I must be selective with my executive coaching commitments. 🎯
That said, I made this video for you. I hope you find it helpful!
Ready to transform your relationship with getting dressed? In this video, I'm breaking down the science of dopamine dressing and why it's a game-changer for the ADHD brain.

You'll learn:
✨ What dopamine dressing really means (hint: it's not about trendy clothes)
✨ Why comfort isn't lazy - it's crucial for your brain
✨ How to build a wardrobe that works WITH your ADHD
✨ Real solutions for work/professional settings

Plus, I'm sharing my personal wardrobe hacks and giving you a peek inside my closet to show you exactly how I make this work in real life. Whether you're struggling with professional dress codes or just want to feel more like yourself, this video is for you!
In my ADHD coaching groups, I keep hearing the same story: "I can't seem to get started." But here's what's really happening - you're not struggling because you're lazy, disorganized, or incapable.
You're stuck because you're trying to launch 4 different businesses with 17 projects each. (And yes, I know exactly how that ADHD brain of yours works.)
Let's be clear: No workflow, template, or magical planning system will fix this.
The solution?
Pick ONE thing. The single path that leads to revenue fastest. Master it. Only then can you start adding those other brilliant ideas - years down the road.
Your ADHD superpower is seeing possibilities everywhere. Your challenge is choosing just one.
