In today's episode, I’m sharing ten big ADHD truths that completely shifted how I work, how I parent, how I think...basically how I live. Whether you have ADHD or just occasionally feel like your executive functioning packed its bags and left without notice, there's something in here for you, too.
And make sure to stick around to the end of the episode where I share an exciting announcement!
What You’ll Learn:
- Why executive functioning is quietly running every inch of your life and how understanding this one truth makes everything less personal and more workable.
- How I stopped forcing myself to follow “the plan” and started following my energy (without burning my whole life down in the process).
- My unique take on systems and how to build ones that actually work for ADHD brains.
- How to spot the invisible steps that derail your day without you realizing it.
- How emotional regulation fits into ADHD and why it’s the domino skill that makes every other strategy easier.
- You’ll hear how I approach burnout, decision making, brain dumps, movement, and sleep in a way that supports (not sabotages) your executive functioning.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
