About This Episode

It’s just me today, y’all, and you know what that means—it’s going to be a wild ride! Buckle up, because in this solo episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I’m diving into the juicy (and sometimes chaotic) topic of following through when you have ADHD. Spoiler alert: it’s HARD. But don’t worry, I’ve got some tips for you.

I’m sharing my personal struggles, some real talk about why it’s so tough for us ADHDers to follow through, and how we can start shifting that narrative.

We’re talking about:
✨ Why having a clear vision matters.
✨ How to find your “why” (because motivation doesn’t just show up on its own).
✨ The art of saying NO (and meaning it).
✨ Emotional regulation—because meltdowns, anyone?

It’s just you, me, and my unfiltered ADHD brain on full display. There’s laughter, honesty, a little oversharing, and—most importantly—practical tips you can actually use TODAY.

If you’ve ever struggled with starting, finishing, or following through on literally anything, this episode is for you. Let’s figure this out together. Press play now and enjoy the ride!
