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 thought something would take 10 minutes… and it took 2 hours (or the opposite), you’re not alone.

Time management with ADHD isn’t just about planners or discipline—it starts with something deeper: your ability to feel time.

In this video, I break down:

• Why time perception is so hard with ADHD
• The “time as a second language” analogy
• How underestimating and overestimating time both create problems
• Practical, compassionate strategies that actually help

This is not about shame. And it’s not about pretending ADHD is a superpower.
It’s about working with your brain in a realistic, supportive way.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not a habit person,” you’re not alone.
A lot of adults with ADHD feel like they can’t stick to habits. But most of the time, it’s not that you can’t build habits — it’s that you’ve been taught to build them in a way that doesn’t work for your brain.

In this episode, I’m talking about:
- Why we tend to start too big
- The “snowball” method that actually works
- Why celebration matters more than you think
- How to restart habits without shame
- The connection between habits and energy management
- Why you should be picky about which habits you build

This is especially important for late-diagnosed women who are already managing a lot of invisible mental load.

Habits aren’t about becoming a different person. They’re about protecting your energy and making life a little easier.

Let me know in the comments: What habit has actually stuck for you?

Emotional regulation is one of the most common goals people bring into coaching.
Regulation doesn't mean “=never feeling big emotions or becoming calm all the time.

It means being able to experience big emotions without feeling hijacked by them.

If you have ADHD, nervous system dysregulation is common — and it doesn’t just affect attention. It impacts emotions, energy, and your ability to function in the moment.

In this episode, I’m introducing:

What emotional regulation actually means (and what it doesn’t)
The difference between regulation, masking, and shutdown
How attention, emotion, and energy are all connected
A simple “pyramid” model of nervous system tools
Why you need body-based tools and thought-based tools

This is just a starting point, but it’s an important one.

Have you ever finished your part of something… but it’s not actually done?
You made the call. You submitted the form. You sent the email.
And now? You wait.

But you still have to track it. And if it falls through the cracks, you’re the one dealing with the
consequences.

That’s what I call a boomerang task: if someone else doesn’t follow through, you have a problem- but not one you can deal with NOW.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
●What a boomerang task is
●Why they quietly drain so much mental energy (especially with ADHD/EF challenges)
●A simple way to manage them without carrying them around in your brain

This is especially relevant for late-diagnosed women who are often juggling invisible tracking
work on top of everything else.

You don’t need to store these in your head. There’s a better way.

Let me know in the comments: Do you have a system that works for these kinds of tasks?

00:00 – What is a “boomerang task”?
00:35 – Why these tasks are especially hard with ADHD
