What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You go all in. You're excited, energized, unstoppable... and then one day you're just... done.

If that cycle sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

Today we're breaking down the ADHD boom-bust cycle: the real, predictable pattern that takes you from hyperfocus and 200% effort straight into a crash you didn't see coming. And once you can name it, you can finally stop being blindsided by it.

In this episode:

• The 4 phases of the ADHD boom-bust cycle: Spark → Dive → Depletion → Crash
• Why 93% of adults with ADHD experience burnout — and why you're wired to miss the warning signs
• What to look for before the crash (hint: it's not tiredness — it's your relationships)
• The two-part Quick Win: a 30-second cycle check-in + one sentence that buys you 24 hours before saying yes to anything new

This isn't about willpower or discipline. It's about understanding how your brain actually works — and building in the slow before your body does it for you.
