If you’ve been told you interrupt, talk over people, or “make things about you”… this video is for you.
Interrupting in conversations can be a challenge for many people with ADHD, but it’s often misunderstood. It’s not about being rude, selfish, or inconsiderate.

In this video, I break down:
-Why interrupting happens with ADHD
-The difference between masking vs. mutual communication
-Practical strategies that actually support your brain
-How to stay present without losing your thoughts

This is not about “fixing” yourself or pretending to be neurotypical. It’s about understanding your brain and building better, more authentic connections.

💬 If you have =experiences or strategies that might help others, please share in the comments, we learn from each other.

Ever said YES to something you had ZERO time for... then regretted it instantly? 😩 Or waited until the absolute last minute on a deadline, only to crush it under pressure? What about staring at a big project and just... freezing? These aren't "ADHD fails" – they're your nervous system's automatic survival responses: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn.

In this talk, I break down why these happen (spoiler: it's not about willpower), how they connect, and compassionate ways to interrupt the cycle so you can make intentional choices instead of reactive ones. No shame, just practical insights from an OT lens to build trust in yourself.

If you’ve ever had a task sitting on your list for days… weeks… months and you just COULDN'T make yourself do it, this video is for you.
This isn’t about laziness.
It’s not just about “breaking things down.” Sometimes the real issue is something deeper: dread.

-How “dread” impacts time, motivation, and follow-through
-A simple tool to understand why you’re stuck
-Practical ways to make high-dread tasks easier
-No shame. No “just push through.”
-Just realistic strategies that work with your brain.
