ADHD Dopamine Explained (This is Life-Changing) 🤯

19:07

RESOURCES MENTIONED: The ADHD Biz Hub : https://www.skool.com/adhd-biz Vision to Action ADHD Planner: https://swiy.co/Y3hM It's almost July and I just realized I completely forgot about my New Year's goals... sound familiar? 😅 This isn't your typical "perfectly curated plan with me" video. This is for the real ones - the ADHD entrepreneurs, the busy parents, the humans who make plans and then forget they exist until halfway through the year. If you've ever felt like you're failing at your goals or that traditional planning just doesn't work for your brain, this one's for you. In this video, I'm doing a brutally honest mid-year review of my 2025 goals (spoiler: I'm nowhere near most of them and that's okay!). I'll walk you through my real process for: Taking inventory of what's actually working vs. what's been half-assed Identifying what still matters vs. what you've outgrown Trimming the "shoulds" that aren't actually yours Finding your ONE focus for the rest of the year No shame, no guilt - just real talk about recalibrating and resetting with intention. Because sometimes "failing with intention" is better than mindlessly chasing goals that don't even fit your life anymore. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Why this isn't a perfect planning video 2:15 - My honest goal review (it's not pretty!) 5:30 - The inventory questions that change everything 8:45 - What still matters vs. what I've outgrown 12:20 - Trimming the "shoulds" (Marie Kondo style) 16:10 - Finding my ONE thing for the rest of 2025…

Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From world events to our personal lives, it feels like we’re all trying to make decisions without a map. In this episode, I’m flying unscripted and talking candidly about how I’ve been navigating uncertain times—emotionally, mentally, and practically. I share a story about a friend stuck in doomsday thinking… and how I recognized myself in her fears. I also unpack the two common extremes we lean toward when the future feels shaky: chronic catastrophe thinking and delusional confidence . Been on both ends—neither feels great. What if the certainty you’re clinging to is actually holding you back? Inside this episode: How our brains fake certainty to calm chaos Why worst-case scenario thinking feels safer but actually makes things worse The surprising power of “delusional confidence” (and why it works) What I’m personally doing to ground myself through this weird season How to shift from inspired chicken 🐔 energy to snow leopard 🐆 calm This is for anyone who’s tired of trying to control the uncontrollable—and ready to focus on showing up for what actually is within reach. 📍 Let me know where you land on the spectrum: panic-mode prepper or overly-optimistic manifestor?…
