79. Rejection Sensitivity and The Missing Piece in ADHD Productivity Advice — with Lindsay Roberts

Most ADHD productivity advice skips something essential: the internal dialogue, the fear of being judged, and the deep self-doubt. 

In this episode, I’m joined by ADHD thought leader and creator of ADHDKlub Lindsay Roberts to talk about what happens beneath the surface of an ambitious ADHD mind. We have a raw and honest conversation about rejection sensitivity, identity wounds, and the emotional resistance that sabotages so many people with ADHD before they even begin. 

We unpack rejection sensitivity, including what it is, how it shows up in daily life, and why it's one of the biggest missing pieces in conventional productivity advice for ADHD brains. Lindsay shares her personal advice for dealing with hyperfocus and how to harness it if you can’t fight it.

If you’ve ever wondered why you know what to do but still don’t do it, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• What rejection sensitivity actually feels like in daily life
• Why mindset—not strategy—is the missing piece in most ADHD advice
• How Lindsay rebuilt her confidence after years of fear-based decisions
• Tools and reflections for anyone trying to start something meaningful
• How to harness the ADHD superpower known as hyperfocus

Whether you’ve been stuck in self-doubt or are navigating ADHD yourself, this episode will meet you right where you are.
