What if changing your relationship with alcohol, breaking unhealthy habits, or overcoming all-or-nothing thinking wasn't about having more willpower? In this episode of Successful with ADHD, I'm welcoming back Colleen Hackman, ADHD coach, host of It's Not About the Alcohol, and known as The Hangover Whisperer. We're diving deeper into how the ADHD brain creates automatic habits, why black-and-white thinking can keep us stuck, and how emotional regulation and neuroplasticity can help us create lasting change without the shame spiral.Colleen and I get into everything from ADHD decision fatigue and addiction labels to nervous system regulation, impulsivity, and learning to trust ourselves again. We also explore why focusing on what we want MORE of instead of what we're trying to eliminate can completely shift our approach to personal growth.
