Ever wonder why everyday tasks feel exhausting, overwhelming, or harder for you than they seem for everyone else? In this episode, we’re breaking down ADHD in a way that actually makes sense — especially for adults who’ve spent years thinking something was “wrong” with them.

As a therapist, I see so many clients who feel scattered, behind, emotionally reactive, or inconsistent despite trying really hard. In this episode, we talk about what ADHD actually feels like in real life, the brain science behind why motivation and focus can be so unpredictable, and why shame and “just try harder” have never worked.

You’ll learn:

• What ADHD really is (and what it’s not)
• Why ADHD is a regulation-based condition — not a character flaw
• The role dopamine and executive functioning play in motivation and follow-through
• Common adult ADHD symptoms that often go missed, especially in women
• How both brain wiring and environment influence ADHD
• Why life can feel harder even when you’re capable, intelligent, and driven

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or chronically behind — this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening in your brain and why you’re not broken.
