ADHD consistency, managing interruptions & how to take control back
Click here to Get on my mailing listEver wonder why you can effortlessly show up for work and appointments, yet find it impossible to brush your teeth or manage household chores consistently? You're not alone—it's what I call ADHD purgatory. In today's episode, we're tackling listener questions about why consistency feels so elusive, how to prioritize what truly matters, and practical ways to deal with constant interruptions. You'll learn why external scaffolding can change your life (but shouldn’t be used for everything), why "consistency" isn't a character trait but a skill you can build, and how to reclaim your agency—even when life refuses to cooperate.If you're tired of believing you lack follow-through, this episode will help you flip that narrative and create routines and boundaries that actually stick.
