What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You know exactly what you need to do. You just can't make yourself start. Monica Packer knows why -- and it's not what you think.

Monica is a recovering perfectionist, habits and identity coach, and host of the top-rated podcast About Progress. She's also a mom of five -- three of them with ADHD -- and a decade into unlearning a version of success that nearly cost her everything.

In this episode:

The quick win: when a task feels too big, do something to start -- and give yourself permission to stop there

The real definition of perfectionism: not tidiness or drive, but placing your identity on your outcomes

Why perfectionism can look like overachieving or like doing nothing at all -- and why both are the same trap

Shame versus compassion, and why shame is the voice convincing you that you can't change

How to start noticing where that harsh inner voice actually came from

Monica's book Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last is publishing Fall 2026. This is part one of a two-part conversation -- part two gets practical with the habits she built once she understood all of this.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

Your child comes home from school and heads straight for the pantry. You tell them to stop. They do it again tomorrow. And the day after that.

Kamy Moussavi spent most of his life in that pantry. He grew up overweight, cycled through every diet program his mom could find, and still could not figure out why food had such a hold on him -- even after he became an engineer, ran marathons, and built a startup. The answer turned out to have nothing to do with willpower.

Kamy is the founder of Step Together, a family-centered program that helps parents understand what is actually driving their child's relationship with food -- and why changing the home environment, not the child, is where real change begins.

In this episode:

The quick win: when your child runs to the pantry after school, they are looking for dopamine -- try a hug first and see what happens

Why food becomes the default coping mechanism for ADHD brains, and why it makes complete neurological sense

The role of alexithymia -- emotional blindness -- in ADHD and how it keeps people stuck in cycles they cannot see

Why parents often discover midway through Kamy's program that their child's weight is not actually the core problem

The Titanic metaphor: why small shifts in trajectory matter more than dramatic interventions, especially with younger kids

How ADHD is the first three letters of addiction -- and what that means for how we protect our kids

Every person on Kamy's team has personally struggled with childhood weight. This conversation will change how you see the pantry.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

If your child has ADHD, you have probably wrestled with whether the school they're in is actually built for them. Antoinette Elliott has spent over 20 years in childcare, and her answer is a practical one: most aren't, but they don't have to be.

Antoinette is the founder of All Our Children Elite Childcare Academy in Georgia, a nature-based, extended-hour childcare program that intentionally includes children with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences alongside their peers. Every staff member completes crisis prevention training. Every meal is vegetarian. Every child is treated like they belong.

In this episode:

• The quick win: if your ADHD child's sleep is delayed at night, protect their morning -- a later start time produced fewer discipline issues all summer
• Why inclusive classrooms benefit every child, not just the ones with diagnoses
• How outdoor environments level the playing field for neurodivergent kids in ways a classroom never can
• What crisis prevention training teaches that most schools are simply not doing
• Why the vegetarian meal plan works even for the pickiest eaters -- and what social modeling has to do with it
• The story of a mom in her late twenties who discovered her own ADHD after her children were evaluated -- and why it is still happening to so many women

Antoinette's message is simple: you did it the hard way. Now there are resources. Your child does not have to do it the hard way too.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You sit down to work for two hours. An hour later you have rewritten your to-do list, checked your phone, and made coffee. The work is not done.

Dr. Kailey Buller is back with a quick win that fits how the ADHD brain actually works. Stop scheduling time. Start scheduling tasks. Block an afternoon for "finish two pages and the one-page PDF," not "work from one to four." You already do this with errands without thinking about it. Apply it on purpose to everything else.

In this episode:

• Why time blindness makes time blocks feel the same whether they're 30 minutes or 3 hours
• How task-based scheduling gives your brain a discrete edge to grab onto: done or not done
• The dopamine reward that makes the next task more likely to start
• How to use unexpected 20-minute pockets without losing them to figuring out what to do
• The laundry reframe that lets you redefine what "done" actually means

Dr. Kailey Buller is a double board-certified physician in Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine, mom of two, and creator of Surviving Tiny Humans.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

Most ADHD families are navigating a system that was never designed with them in mind. Diagnosis wait times stretch into months. The national conversation around ADHD is getting louder, but the people most affected by it are rarely the ones in the room when decisions get made.

Today I'm joined by Jakara Eason, Executive Director of Mindful Choices for ADHD, and Dr. Shanta Whitaker, Chief Science Officer at Mindful Choices. Their organization was born out of a national summit that brought together families, clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers who had been working toward similar goals in total isolation from one another. Mindful Choices exists to break down those silos and ensure the ADHD community has a real seat at the table.

We talk about how policy actually gets shaped, why your personal story is more powerful than you think, and what Mindful Choices is building for families navigating young adult transitions.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You know your kid needs more support at school. You just don't know who to call, what to ask for, or which plan actually fits. Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer breaks it all down, from IEPs to 504 plans to independent educational evaluations, in language that actually makes sense.

In this episode: the real difference between an IEP and a 504, how to start the conversation with your school district, what to do if the team disagrees with you, and why collaboration almost always works better than confrontation. Dr. Ostmeyer shares from both sides, the clinical and the parental, including a second-grade teacher who changed everything by simply getting it.

First step: call your school. This episode tells you exactly what to say. Find Dr. Ostmeyer at www.beyondtheindividual.com.

Your kid isn't being dramatic. The tag really does hurt. The toothpaste really is too spicy. The gym really is too loud. Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer is a licensed psychologist, behavior analyst, and mom of two neurodivergent kids, and she is here to explain why sensory overload is so often mistaken for behavior problems and what you can actually do about it today.

In this episode: why sensory input doesn't filter the same way for ADHD brains, the difference between accommodation and skill-building, how to strengthen the tolerance muscle without starting at a hundred pounds, and when it is time to get professional support. Plus her quick win: the small system she built that gets her daughter to the bus with a time buffer every morning.

Your kid is smart. You know it. The teachers know it. But the homework isn't getting turned in, the meetings aren't producing answers, and you're starting to feel like you're the only one who doesn't know what to do.

You're not alone. And you're not powerless.

Lisa Richer is a neurodiversity consultant, certified in executive functioning, and mom of two neurodivergent sons. She spent years advocating for her own children before turning that lived experience into a business. In this episode, Lisa breaks down what parents of kids with ADHD actually need to know about navigating the school system: from 504 plans and IEPs to private school accommodations and what to do when you're not sure where to start.

Lisa also shares the quick win that shifted her entire week when her nervous system was running on empty - and it wasn't a productivity hack.

In this episode:

• What executive functioning actually has to do with ADHD (and why it matters for school support)
• The difference between a 504 plan and an IEP — and which one your child might need
• How private schools handle accommodations differently from public schools
• Why Lisa avoids the word "why" with her clients — and what she asks instead
• The burnout that changed everything — and what it finally gave her permission to do

What does it actually mean to have ADHD as a high-achieving professional? Dr. Jennie Byrne has spent 20 years answering that question.

She's a psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and mom. Her new book, ADHD in Professionals: Embracing Your Brain, is written specifically for the people who get told they're too high-functioning to have ADHD. Spoiler: that's not how it works.

In this episode, we get into the neuroscience of why task-switching is so depleting, what a real ADHD assessment should actually include, and why so many high-achieving moms are doing fine at work and falling apart at home. (There's a reason for that. It's not what you think.)

Dr. Jennie also shares a client story that will make you want to rethink one thing in your evening routine right now.

Quick win for this episode: if you keep putting off taking care of your own ADHD, frame it this way. Managing your own brain is how you become a better parent. When you're running on empty, you're teaching your kids something. Make it intentional.

Find Dr. Jennie at constellationpllc.com, on LinkedIn, and on YouTube. Her book, ADHD in Professionals: Embracing Your Brain, is available now.

Your body is keeping score. And it's been doing it quietly while you push through.

Sandy Martin was at the top of her game. Then everything stopped working. What she found on the other side became a framework for getting well when no one has answers for you.

In this episode, we get into:

• The three-minute humming practice that resets your nervous system and why it actually works
• Why five seconds in, five seconds out is the exact breath interval your lungs want most
• The difference between trying every supplement and fixing the actual root cause
• Why beating yourself up creates a biological cascade that makes everything harder
• How grace will get you further than consistency ever will

Sandy's quick win takes three minutes. One minute if that's all you have. And it works even if you're standing in a parking lot before school pickup.

You've been white-knuckling your way through life. Heather Simco did too. For decades.

Before the coaching, before the sobriety, before the clarity, Heather was a high-achieving woman building an empire in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world, running at a hundred miles an hour, and quietly falling apart on the inside. Undiagnosed ADHD. Alcohol as a coping mechanism. A life held together by overcompensation and sheer will.

Then a car accident took away the last thing she was using to hold it all together.

What came next is the part nobody talks about. Not just getting sober. The actual work of figuring out who you are when the titles, the goals, and the coping mechanisms are gone.

Heather is now a transformation coach with 12 years of sobriety, a 21-year-old daughter with ADHD, and a front-row seat to what it actually looks like to build systems that work for a brain like yours. She calls herself the chaos coordinator, and she means it.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why the first thing Heather does with every overwhelmed mom is a time inventory
• The difference between extremes that feel comfortable and balance that actually works
• How she raised an ADHD daughter without starting with medication, and what that taught her about self-awareness
• The guardrail metaphor that will completely change how you think about getting off track
• Why one tiny system, done consistently, builds more than a hundred new strategies ever will

Heather's quick win at the top of this episode is simple. It costs nothing. And it takes five minutes the night before.

Connect with Heather at heathersimco.com or find her everywhere at @HeatherSimco. If a three-day reset in Naples, Florida sounds like exactly what you need, get on her retreat waitlist now.

Quick Wins for ADHD Moms is built for the mom who looks like she has it together and is quietly exhausted. If that's you, you're in the right place.

If you are surrounded by half-done projects and hating yourself for it, this episode is for you.

Perfectionism is one of the most common cognitive distortions in women with ADHD. It is a symptom, not a character flaw. And there is actual neuroscience behind why your ADHD brain crashes at 80 percent done and cannot cross the finish line.

In this episode I walk you through the four doors into ADHD perfectionism (armor, the procrastination loop, RSD, and all-or-nothing thinking), the dopamine reward pathway dysfunction that causes the 80 percent crash, and exactly why "just lower your standards" is the wrong advice.

Then I give you The 70% Drop. A simple, concrete move you can do today to retrain your brain, ship one half-done thing, and start breaking the shame cycle.

What we cover:

• Why perfectionism is an ADHD symptom, not a flaw
• Dr. William Dodson on RSD (and why 99% of us have it)
• The 80% dopamine crash, explained
• How all-or-nothing thinking traps ADHD moms
• The 70% Drop, step by step

You have tried the planners. The apps. The habit trackers. The YouTube tutorials. The color-coded systems, the minimalist ones, the digital ones, and the paper ones.

And nothing has stuck.

In this episode of Quick Wins for ADHD Moms, Jess breaks down exactly why -- and it has nothing to do with discipline. Those tools were built for brains with consistent dopamine. Yours doesn't have that. The problem was never you. The problem was the design.

You'll learn:

• The neuroscience behind why every new system feels exciting at first and dies within weeks
• Why the planner in the drawer might as well not exist -- and what ADHD object permanence actually means
• Why the setup was the dopamine hit (and what to do about that)
• The One-Surface System: one principle, any format, and why it works when everything else hasn't

You do not need more discipline. You need a different design.

You slept. You had coffee. Objectively, life isn't that hard. So why does it feel like you're moving through wet concrete by 2pm?

In this episode of Quick Wins for ADHD Moms, Jess breaks down the real reason ADHD moms are always exhausted -- and it has nothing to do with how hard you're trying.

You'll learn:

• Why ADHD brains burn more energy on normal tasks than most people's brains do on hard ones
• The circadian rhythm finding that explains why you can sleep 8 hours and still wake up wrecked
• What the invisible labor of masking is actually costing you every single day
• Why pushing through is making the exhaustion worse -- and what to do instead

Your Quick Win: Stop pushing through. Your exhaustion is neurological, not moral. Rest is a strategy, not a reward.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You go all in. You're excited, energized, unstoppable... and then one day you're just... done.

If that cycle sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

Today we're breaking down the ADHD boom-bust cycle: the real, predictable pattern that takes you from hyperfocus and 200% effort straight into a crash you didn't see coming. And once you can name it, you can finally stop being blindsided by it.

In this episode:

• The 4 phases of the ADHD boom-bust cycle: Spark → Dive → Depletion → Crash
• Why 93% of adults with ADHD experience burnout — and why you're wired to miss the warning signs
• What to look for before the crash (hint: it's not tiredness — it's your relationships)
• The two-part Quick Win: a 30-second cycle check-in + one sentence that buys you 24 hours before saying yes to anything new

This isn't about willpower or discipline. It's about understanding how your brain actually works — and building in the slow before your body does it for you.

You can reorganize your entire pantry until it looks like a Pinterest board.

But you cannot answer one email. I understand this all too well.

In this episode, we talk about resonance. It is the concept that explains why your brain locks in on some tasks and completely stalls on others. Why noise helps some ADHD brains focus. Why silence feels unbearable. And why the conditions you need to actually get traction are not tricks, they are the design.

What you'll get from this episode:

The quick win: Find Your Focus Frequency: a 20-minute experiment you can run today with one task that's been sitting on your list

Why ADHD brains are often under-aroused in their attention networks, and what that actually means in plain language

The radio metaphor that reframes the whole thing

The difference between under-stimulation and overload, and why both kill focus

Three things to design before you sit down to work: sound, body position, and a trigger

Why you can build a website overnight but cannot meal plan for the week (it is the same reason)

The question to ask when a task won't start, before you call yourself lazy.

Ever Walk Into a Room and Forget Why?

Ever stood in the hallway holding a dirty towel… and completely forgotten where you were taking it?

If your brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open, and you can’t find the one playing music, this episode is for you.

Today we’re untangling something that changes everything:

Is this mom exhaustion?
Or is this ADHD wiring?

Because those are not the same thing. And treating them the same keeps you stuck.

In This Episode

Low Fuel vs. Check Engine Light
A simple framework to help you figure out whether you’re depleted… or whether your brain is asking for a different design.

The Resiliency Test
If rest fixes it, it was fuel.
If the same patterns show up again and again, even after rest, it’s wiring.

Cognitive Ergonomics
Stop trying to “fix” your brain.
Start designing your environment to support how it actually works.
Inspired by my conversation with ADHD coach Jeff Copper.

The Hidden Restart Cost
Interruptions don’t just annoy you. They tax your nervous system.
We’ll talk about how to protect your capacity.

What White Space Really Is
Not an empty calendar.
Margin. Breathing room. The ability to respond instead of react.

The 4-Minute Reset
A simple tool to move from paralysis to motion without trying to solve your entire life before lunch.

Resources

Jeff Copper
ADHD coach and thought leader on Cognitive Ergonomics

A Question to Sit With

What’s stealing your capacity right now?

Is it:

• Low fuel? (sleep, hydration, protein, overstimulation)
• Or wiring? (working memory, task switching, executive function)

And what’s one tiny move that could buy you back ten minutes today?

Not fix your life.
Just give you margin.

If This Helped

Follow the podcast. Share it with a friend. Leave a review.

Because the more we understand our brains, the less we shame them.

And the more white space we create.

You are here for a reason.
Move forward. Let it be beautiful.

Ever feel like your entire day is one minor inconvenience away from a total meltdown? You aren’t failing, you’re just missing a "Plan B" that actually works for an ADHD brain.

In this episode, Dr. Kailey Buller joins us to share the exact contingency strategy that saves ADHD moms from the "all-or-nothing" spiral. Whether it’s a travel nightmare or just a Tuesday where the executive function isn’t showing up, you need a safety net.

In this video, we cover:

• The "Emergency" Meal Strategy: 3 go-to meals that require zero brain power (and save you from the drive-thru).

Future-Proofing ADHD Kids: Why They Must Start Building with AI Now - with Marnie Lee Wills (Part 2)

In Part 2, the conversation expands.

Once AI helps calm the chaos, a bigger question emerges:

What do we do with the space it creates?

In this episode, Marnie and I explore how AI can move us—and our kids—from consuming to creating. From scrolling to building. From constant doing to intentional being.

This is a thoughtful, future-focused conversation about purpose, presence, creativity, and what it means to raise ADHD kids in a world shaped by AI.

What We Talk About in Part 2

• The shift from AI consumption to AI collaboration
• Why the future of screen time isn’t less screens—but different screens
• Using AI to support children’s learning with tools like NotebookLM
• Encouraging kids to design, build, and think with AI—not just consume content
• Creative experimentation with platforms like Google AI Studio
• Ethical AI use and why human expertise still matters
• Raising kids with a builder mindset instead of a consumer mindset
• The importance of white space, stillness, and intentional pauses
• Redefining purpose—from constant achievement to meaningful presence
• How AI may ultimately reduce mental load and increase human connection

Key Insights

The future belongs to builders, not consumers

When kids use AI to create instead of scroll, they develop confidence, creativity, and agency.

Purpose isn’t just about output—it’s about presence

AI gives us the opportunity to step out of constant doing and reconnect with being.

White space fuels creativity and clarity

Stillness isn’t wasted time—it’s where insight and connection live.

Ethical AI requires human leadership

AI should amplify human wisdom, not replace it. Teaching kids discernment matters.

AI can free us for deeper relationships

When machines carry cognitive load, humans can focus on what only humans can do—connect, create, and care.

Stop the Information Overload: Why ADHD Moms Need an AI ‘Second Brain’ Now - with guest Marnie Lee Wills (part 1)

If you’re an ADHD mom whose brain feels full before the day even starts—this episode is for you.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Marnie Wills and I focus on the practical side of AI: how it can help reduce mental overload, decision fatigue, and the constant feeling of being behind.

This isn’t about becoming more productive or doing more.

It’s about using AI as a supportive second brain—so your actual brain can finally exhale.

We talk about simple, realistic ways ADHD moms can start using AI today to manage chaos, organize thoughts, and create a little more breathing room in everyday life.

What We Talk About in Part 1

• Why ADHD moms should stop defaulting to Google—and start using AI differently
• How tools like Gemini can replace endless tabs and searching
• Creating a personalized AI assistant to help manage schedules, emails, and planning
• Using AI for brain dumping when your thoughts feel tangled and overwhelming
• How AI can help with thinking, not just task completion
• Why Perplexity AI is a favorite for clear, focused answers
• Marnie’s personal journey of using AI to manage real-life chaos
• Reframing AI as calm-support—not another system to maintain

Key Insights

AI works best as a second brain, not a productivity whip

AI can hold information, organize thoughts, and reduce mental clutter—especially for ADHD brains that are already maxed out.

ADHD overwhelm isn’t a motivation problem—it’s a load problem

Using AI to offload thinking frees up energy for decision-making, creativity, and connection.

Brain dumping into AI creates instant relief

Getting thoughts out of your head and into a neutral space reduces anxiety and helps you see what actually matters.

Search is passive. AI is collaborative.

AI tools don’t just retrieve information—they help you think through problems in real time.

Calm isn’t about doing less—it’s about holding less

When AI manages background noise, ADHD moms regain space to breathe.

Stay tuned for the rest of our conversation next week!

In Part 2, we zoom out—from daily survival to bigger questions of purpose, creativity, and how this shift impacts our kids and the future.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

Ever stare at your to-do list and feel like your brain just… freezes? Yep. Same.

In this episode, my amazing guest Leah Carroll and I talk about decision paralysis, why it’s so common with ADHD, and why it’s not a motivation problem — it’s an energy and trust problem. We dig into spoon theory (one of my favorite visuals for explaining mental load), how decision fatigue sneaks up on us, and why by the end of the day even tiny choices feel impossible.

We also talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention: self-trust. Not the hype kind — the quiet kind that’s built when you keep small promises to yourself. Things like simple nightly routines, brain dumps that actually help you wake up calmer, and setting your future self up for success instead of chaos.

We wrap it up by talking about how ADHD coaching can help — not because you’re broken, but because sometimes you just need someone outside your brain to help you see what actually matters.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does everything feel so hard?” — this one’s for you.

Takeaways

• Decision paralysis usually isn’t about laziness — it’s about too many choices and no clear priority
• Spoon theory is a helpful way to visualize energy: you only get so many “spoons” a day, and every task costs one
• ADHD makes decision fatigue worse because your brain is working overtime all day
• Self-trust grows when you keep small, realistic promises to yourself
• A simple nightly brain dump can dramatically reduce morning overwhelm
• Planning before you’re tired helps prevent end-of-day shutdown
• Habit stacking works best when you pair something necessary with something enjoyable
• Knowing your personal energy limits helps prevent burnout
• ADHD coaching offers an outside perspective when your brain feels too close to the problem

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

ADHD Coach Leah Carroll and I zoom in on self-trust — how it’s built, how it gets broken (especially with ADHD), and why it’s one of the most important skills we can develop.

We talk about the practical side of this: habit stacking, simple nightly routines, and why reflection isn’t about overthinking — it’s about creating awareness without judgment. When your brain is busy managing executive function all day, having a few anchor habits can make everything feel lighter.

We also unpack why ADHD coaching can be so powerful. Not because you need fixing, but because having an outside perspective helps you see patterns you’re too close to notice. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t doing more — it’s understanding what’s actually draining you and adjusting from there.

This episode is about building a system that supports you, so you can stop fighting your brain and start trusting yourself again.

Takeaways

• Self-trust is built through small, repeatable actions — not big overhauls
• Habit stacking works best when it supports your energy instead of draining it
• Nightly routines help reduce chaos by giving your brain a plan before you sleep
• Reflection doesn’t have to be deep or emotional — it just has to be honest
• ADHD coaching offers clarity when your thoughts feel tangled
• Pre-planning removes friction and reduces decision fatigue
• Each follow-through, even a small one, strengthens self-trust
• Understanding your energy limits helps prevent burnout
• Executive function improves when systems support the brain you actually have
• Awareness creates choice — and choice creates change

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I want to do… I just can’t seem to make it stick,” this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Leah Carroll, and we’re talking about habit stacking—but in a way that actually makes sense for ADHD brains.

Instead of relying on discipline or willpower (which tends to fall apart fast), we explore why ADHD brains work better with cues, dopamine, and momentum. Leah breaks down how attaching a new habit to something you already do—like pairing your morning coffee with unloading the dishwasher—can make habits feel lighter, more doable, and far less overwhelming.

We also talk about why persistence matters more than consistency when you have ADHD, and how small, almost-boring changes are often the ones that create the biggest long-term shifts. No perfection. No all-or-nothing thinking. Just simple wins that add up.

If you’ve been craving a more realistic, grace-filled way to build habits that actually work with your brain (and your life as a mom), this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

In this episode of Quick Wins for ADHD Moms, I’m talking about why focusing on the process — not the finish line — changes everything for ADHD brains.

If you’ve ever felt motivated at the start and completely overwhelmed halfway through, this episode is for you. I break down why outcome-based goals actually increase pressure and stall momentum for ADHD brains — and why shifting your attention to the next small, doable step creates energy instead of stress.

We’ll also look at how elite athletes think about performance (spoiler: they’re not obsessing over the win), and why dopamine shows up during action, not after everything is done.

This isn’t about lowering standards or doing less. It’s about working with your brain instead of constantly fighting it — and using quick wins to create momentum, clarity, and calm in the middle of real life.

Key Takeaways

• Pick a process, not a finish line
• Focus on the next right step — not the whole staircase
• Dopamine comes from movement, not completion
• Momentum quiets overwhelm
• ADHD brains need immediacy and feedback to stay engaged
• Outcome pressure hijacks attention
• Quick wins aren’t shortcuts — they’re strategy
• Visible progress helps regulate your nervous system
• Small actions create fast, clear wins
• Respect how your brain actually works in demanding seasons

If goal setting actually worked the way it’s “supposed to,” a lot of us would be living very different lives by now.

In this episode, I’m talking about why traditional goal setting falls apart for ADHD brains—and why that doesn’t mean you are broken or unmotivated. We dig into the pressure of big goals, the crash that happens when plans don’t go perfectly, and the frustration of feeling like you’re always behind.

Instead of obsessing over outcomes, I share a more realistic approach: focusing on the process. We talk about breaking big goals into truly doable micro-steps, creating plans that can flex with your energy and your day, and learning to notice progress even when it doesn’t look impressive on paper.

This episode is a reminder that small wins matter, consistency doesn’t have to be perfect, and you’re allowed to build a life—and goals—that actually work with your brain.

If goal setting has ever made you feel discouraged, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

1. Focus on the process, not the outcome.
2. Break goals into small micro pieces.
3. Embrace micro tasks for daily progress.
4. Prioritize process over perfection.
5. Create small anchors for tough days.
6. Avoid all-or-nothing thinking.
7. Understand why traditional goal setting fails ADHD brains.
8. Reframe focus from big goals to small wins.
9. Identify daily habits of the person you want to become.
10. Adopt flexible plans that allow for restarts.

In this episode, we’re talking about the holidays… ADHD-style. Because listen, December has a vibe, and it’s not always the cozy Hallmark-movie energy we wish it were. Schedules get weird, kids are extra hyped, expectations feel sky-high, and somehow you’re supposed to remember all the dates, all the gifts, and all the “fun little traditions” everyone else seems to pull off effortlessly. (Elf on the Shelf every night? Absolutely not. I can love your reels and also know I would melt into a puddle of anxiety trying to do that.)

I share some real-life moments from our own holiday chaos and the things that have helped my ADHD brain breathe a little easier this time of year. Think: lowering expectations, simplifying traditions, and choosing peace over performance. We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” why ADHD brains struggle extra during the holidays, and how to manage your energy so you’re not running on fumes by Christmas morning.

This isn’t about creating a picture-perfect holiday. It’s about creating a warm, safe environment where your family actually enjoys being together — and where you don’t lose yourself in the process.

Takeaways

• Lowering expectations is one of the biggest holiday stress-busters.
• Simpler traditions = easier on ADHD brains (and still magical).
• Predictability and routine help ground an overstimulated brain.
• Holiday pressure hits harder when your brain is already juggling noise.
• Energy management matters more than trying to “do it all.”
• Creative adjustments make the season fun and doable.
• Your kids will remember the feeling, not the perfection.

In today’s conversation, I’m sitting down with Dr. Kailey Buller, and wow… she brings so much wisdom about stress, transitions, and what it really looks like to decompress when you have an ADHD brain. We talk about those “in-between moments” — the little buffers most of us skip — and how they actually make or break our stress tolerance. Kailey walks us through simple ways to come down after high-stress situations, how to build tiny decompression rituals into real life, and why a little playfulness goes a long way (for us and our kids).

If you’ve ever gone from one thing to the next with zero breathing room and wondered why you’re snappy, overwhelmed, or wiped out… this episode is such a breath of fresh air.

Keywords:

stress management, ADHD, transition buffers, decompression, playfulness

Takeaways:

• ADHD brains have a lower stress threshold — which is why transition buffers matter so much.
• Adding a buffer between high-stress tasks can completely change how you show up.
• Decompression isn’t optional — it’s necessary.
• A tiny moment of play can shift your whole nervous system.
• Built-in pauses help keep stress from stacking.
• Physical unwinding helps your brain chill out.
• Kids respond so well to playful redirection during tense moments.
• When we snap under stress, acknowledgment + repair are powerful.
• Joy in the small, simple moments actually reduces stress.
• Emotional safety makes it easier for everyone in the home to reset.

In this conversation, Kailey Buller gets really honest about something so many of us deal with — just getting started. Task initiation can feel like trying to move a mountain, especially with an ADHD brain (mom or kid!). She talks about the power of keeping things ridiculously small — think five-minutes-or-less small — because once you get that tiny win, the momentum kicks in and the overwhelm drops way down.

Kailey also dives into how helpful visual reminders and simple routines can be for our kids, especially those who struggle with the same things we do. It’s not about creating a hyper-structured home; it’s about giving their brains a little borrowed support so they can actually follow through.

One of my favorite parts of this whole conversation is the emphasis on empathy. Our kids aren’t being defiant — most of the time, they’re just hitting the same walls we hit. When we understand what ADHD actually looks like in day-to-day life, it softens the whole dynamic. We stop taking everything personally and start seeing the real challenge underneath.

And yep — we even touch on how new moms can feel “ADHD-ish” from pure sleep deprivation, and why leaning on outside structure is not a failure. It’s just smart.

Keywords
ADHD, task initiation, parenting, visual reminders, empathy, structured routines, Kailey Buller, quick wins, overcoming challenges, momentum

Takeaways

• Getting started is hard — ADHD or not — but especially with an ADHD brain.
• Tiny, five-minute tasks build real momentum and cut down the overwhelm.
• Visual reminders + simple routines give kids the structure their brains crave.
• Parenting becomes easier when we meet our kids with empathy instead of frustration.
• Most ADHD kiddos aren’t being defiant — they’re truly struggling.
• Breaking things down into mini-steps makes everything more doable.
• “Borrowed structure” is a gift, not a crutch.
• Understanding how ADHD works helps us respond with compassion instead of confusion.
• Exhausted new moms can absolutely feel ADHD-like symptoms.
• It’s okay to use whatever external support helps you get through the day.

Ever feel like you’re constantly losing your keys, forgetting appointments, or starting projects you never finish? You’re not alone. ADHD in women often looks different than the classic “hyperactive kid” stereotype, which means so many moms go years without realizing what’s really going on.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the common signs of adult ADHD in women — from zoning out mid-conversation to feeling overwhelmed by endless to-do lists. You’ll learn why these symptoms are often overlooked, how they manifest in everyday motherhood, and what it means for you if they sound familiar.

If you’ve ever wondered why staying organized feels impossible, or why your brain seems to run on a completely different track, this conversation is for you.

Today our guest is from across the world in Armenia! His name is Mikayel Khachatryan, CEO of Wirestock.io, a stock agency where you can upload to ONE place - and sell your photos on multiple content marketplaces like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and more.

After uploading my own stock photos to multiple places and realizing how cumbersome and time consuming it was, I thought, "There has GOT to be a better way." I kept looking - but didn't see the solution i was looking for - until... someone from Wirestock contact me about their platform.

I could upload my photos to ONE place - quick and simple - and they would keyword and tag them and send them all to major stock agencies. This saved me hours of time and the hassle of keywording each photo.

They were quick to respond to my questions, and I was immediately impressed with the company! Someone had found a simple solution to one of my pain points.

So I reached out, and the CEO, Mikayel agreed to be on our show today, and we're so happy he did. You'll hear his background and story behind Wirestock,io; how he is helping creatives create, and saving time doing so.

"I was literally waking up at 3:30, four o'clock in the morning to get client work done before my actual day job and previous to being laid off, I was like, why am I doing this? Is this worth it?" - Angela Gast

We're talking to Angela Gast today and her story really sums up a quote that we have on our website now by Mark Twain. "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do then by the ones you did. So throw out the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover."

From Angela:
"I was laid off from a job and that's really how this all started. I was actually doing the side hustle for awhile, working full time, but had this dream of being an entrepreneur really since I was a kid. I knew I wanted to do it. I just never really found the path of actually doing it. I would always get sidetracked by a full time job or another opportunity and it was just always so hard to say no to that and venture off into the unknown world of entrepreneurship. I like the safety of a full time job, but once I realized that after being laid off for the second time in my life, a full time job is really not that safe. I could actually be laid off at any moment. So it took two times to get laid off to realize that there's really no safe journey. So I might as well just do what I want to do."

One of the biggest things we've learned, not just in the last couple of years, but in our entire careers and lives is: one of the most valuable things that we have been given is the ability to listen to other people's stories. We get to meet so many interesting and awesome people. And when we listen to other people's stories, we learn that we can identify with them, we can learn from their mistakes and learn from what they're doing. And so that's a bit of a new direction for this show. We want to take this podcast and bring you a lot of those stories that we feel can have a huge impact, not only just on our lives, but on your lives as well.

Your business is growing - and you need to learn how to hire GREAT people and build a team. What does it take? Who do you look for? We asked our friend Dan Van Matre, former manager at Chick-Fil-A - about their incredible hiring process. Dan has great insight into team building that comes from his background in many different fields of experience. We think you'll love this conversation and are sure to walk away with life-long applications.

Some of the conversations cover things like:

• What is the difference between Behavioral Values and Aspirational Values?
• What kind of great experience are you creating for your customers?
• How do you find people who have a service mentality?
• How do you engage and connect with your customers?

What we love about this conversation is the great answers and ideas that Dan provided. We all believe in this holistic approach to hiring the right people: making sure you hire someone who lines up with your culture & core values.

"It's listening to people's stories and validating their experiences by giving them opportunities to achieve great things for themselves."

You can contact Dan at DanVanMatre@gmail.com

Today’s guest is an Erie Entrepreneur who helps small businesses realize why they exist. There is so much great information and inspiration packed into this podcast for you today - I’m excited for you to meet our guest, Josh Layhue. He shares his story of starting up several different businesses - and what he has learned along the way.

His passion is helping the local business owner understand their purpose. The landscape of local business has changed drastically since the internet was introduced… Many local businesses are playing the “better, faster, cheaper” game - but - as Josh talks about in the podcast, amazon and walmart have WON that game.” Are local businesses still valid? Josh thinks so and we talk about that in depth.

So WHY do you exist? What is your purpose? And How do you create a community that keeps coming back to your product or service? We talk about that today.
