    Real Talk: Why Fun Feels “Undeserved” with ADHD

    Many ADHD women live by an unspoken rule: no fun until all the work is done. But with an ADHD brain, the work never ends—and joy, connection, and true rest keep getting pushed further down the list.

    In this episode, I’m getting real about why fun often feels “undeserved” when you have ADHD, how perfectionism and over-functioning keep you trapped, and why skipping fun is a fast track to burnout.

    We’ll talk about: • The inner critic and societal expectations that tell you to “earn” rest • Why scrolling isn’t real rest—and how it drains your energy • How fun and creativity actually make you more productive • Practical steps to protect joy on your calendar

    Fun isn’t just for the weekend or when your to-do list is empty—it’s a key part of living well with ADHD.

  • Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: The Powerful Truth About Healing and Self-Love

    Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: The Powerful Truth About Healing and Self-Love

    So many ADHD women spend years thinking, “If I can just fix what’s wrong with me, I’ll finally feel okay.”

    But what if there was never anything wrong with you to begin with?

    In this episode, I’m sharing a different way to think about healing—not as a project to “get right,” but as a journey of becoming more of who you truly are, one layer at a time.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why ADHD women often carry the quiet belief that they’re “wrong” or “too much”
    • How healing invites you back to yourself over and over, instead of pushing you to try harder
    • The shift from shame, to acceptance, to compassion, and eventually, to self-love
    • A gentle reminder that you’re not broken—you’re becoming

    If you’re tired of trying to fix yourself and you’re craving a softer, truer path forward, this conversation is for you.
