1: Why ADHD Fight or Flight Is Keeping You Stuck (Not Your Brain)

You know exactly what you need to do. And yet you can't make yourself start. Then the panic kicks in, you scramble, you crash, and tomorrow it starts all over again. If that cycle feels like your default, this episode is for you.

I'm introducing my core approach to ADHD: that chronic nervous system dysregulation, not just your brain wiring, is what's driving the paralysis, overwhelm, and burnout you keep running into. And unlike your ADHD diagnosis, dysregulation is something that can change.

If you've tried every tip, tool, and system and you're still ending up stuck, this is the reframe you've been missing.
