112. ADHD, Self-Trust, & the Follow-Through Problem No One Talks About

Ever tell yourself, “This week will be different”… and by Tuesday, it’s a dumpster fire?

Or make a To-Do List, ignore it for days, and then use that as “proof” you’re not capable?

Congrats, you're human.

But guess what? The problem isn’t your ability to follow through—the problem is the hit your self-trust takes when it happens. 

And that’s what we’re digging into today: how self-trust breaks down, why ADHD brains feel it harder, and how to rebuild it without white-knuckling your way through life.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on:

• What self-distrust actually looks like (it’s sneakier than you think)
• The overcommit → fall short → shame → try harder → repeat cycle
• Why it’s not laziness or lack of motivation—it’s your nervous system + executive (dys)functioning at work
• My 3-step framework for rebuilding self-trust (plus 2 bonus strategies you can start today)

Whether you have ADHD or not, you’ll walk away with practical, real-life ways to keep promises to yourself—and stop letting one “off” day derail your progress.
