What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

This episode sponsored by: EXPLORE FOCUSAUR ON KICKSTARTER

Your body is keeping score. And it's been doing it quietly while you push through.

Sandy Martin was at the top of her game. Then everything stopped working. What she found on the other side became a framework for getting well when no one has answers for you.

In this episode, we get into:

• The three-minute humming practice that resets your nervous system and why it actually works
• Why five seconds in, five seconds out is the exact breath interval your lungs want most
• The difference between trying every supplement and fixing the actual root cause
• Why beating yourself up creates a biological cascade that makes everything harder
• How grace will get you further than consistency ever will

Sandy's quick win takes three minutes. One minute if that's all you have. And it works even if you're standing in a parking lot before school pickup.

You've been white-knuckling your way through life. Heather Simco did too. For decades.

Before the coaching, before the sobriety, before the clarity, Heather was a high-achieving woman building an empire in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world, running at a hundred miles an hour, and quietly falling apart on the inside. Undiagnosed ADHD. Alcohol as a coping mechanism. A life held together by overcompensation and sheer will.

Then a car accident took away the last thing she was using to hold it all together.

What came next is the part nobody talks about. Not just getting sober. The actual work of figuring out who you are when the titles, the goals, and the coping mechanisms are gone.

Heather is now a transformation coach with 12 years of sobriety, a 21-year-old daughter with ADHD, and a front-row seat to what it actually looks like to build systems that work for a brain like yours. She calls herself the chaos coordinator, and she means it.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why the first thing Heather does with every overwhelmed mom is a time inventory
• The difference between extremes that feel comfortable and balance that actually works
• How she raised an ADHD daughter without starting with medication, and what that taught her about self-awareness
• The guardrail metaphor that will completely change how you think about getting off track
• Why one tiny system, done consistently, builds more than a hundred new strategies ever will

Heather's quick win at the top of this episode is simple. It costs nothing. And it takes five minutes the night before.

Connect with Heather at heathersimco.com or find her everywhere at @HeatherSimco. If a three-day reset in Naples, Florida sounds like exactly what you need, get on her retreat waitlist now.

Quick Wins for ADHD Moms is built for the mom who looks like she has it together and is quietly exhausted. If that's you, you're in the right place.

If you are surrounded by half-done projects and hating yourself for it, this episode is for you.

Perfectionism is one of the most common cognitive distortions in women with ADHD. It is a symptom, not a character flaw. And there is actual neuroscience behind why your ADHD brain crashes at 80 percent done and cannot cross the finish line.

In this episode I walk you through the four doors into ADHD perfectionism (armor, the procrastination loop, RSD, and all-or-nothing thinking), the dopamine reward pathway dysfunction that causes the 80 percent crash, and exactly why "just lower your standards" is the wrong advice.

Then I give you The 70% Drop. A simple, concrete move you can do today to retrain your brain, ship one half-done thing, and start breaking the shame cycle.

What we cover:

• Why perfectionism is an ADHD symptom, not a flaw
• Dr. William Dodson on RSD (and why 99% of us have it)
• The 80% dopamine crash, explained
• How all-or-nothing thinking traps ADHD moms
• The 70% Drop, step by step
