Feeling like you should be doing more but can’t figure out why you’re not? You’re not lazy - you might be caught in the ADHD shame loop. In this episode, we unpack how perfectionism, executive dysfunction, and unrealistic expectations create a cycle of guilt, burnout, and overcorrection. Whether you’re navigating meal prep, movement, parenting, or just trying to send that one email, we’ll help you understand what’s actually happening underneath the struggle and how to move forward with compassion, not shame.
