The ADHD Skills Lab

Presented by Understood.org
You keep starting new things and abandoning the ones that were working.
Katy Weber is the go-to voice behind the Woman and ADHD podcast, reaching millions of listeners and building a multi-stream business from lived experience. Her approach to growth is grounded in what actually works with ADHD, not what sounds good on paper.
She explains why ADHD pulls you toward new ideas, how pivoting too early kills momentum, and what changed when she stopped rebuilding from scratch. The conversation also covers how she used her podcast as the foundation for everything else.
You will leave with a more stable way to grow without constantly resetting your progress.
What We Cover
Why ADHD brains pivot too early and lose momentum
The hidden cost of constantly starting over
How to build around one stable “core” system
What changed when she stopped chasing new ideas
Why expansion works better than reinvention

You keep being told ADHD is genetic, but part of you suspects something in your environment is making it worse.
In this next episode of the Research Recap Series Skye and Will (Hacking Your ADHD) discuss research on environmental exposure and ADHD-related behaviors.
Together they explore what the science suggests about how certain chemicals may influence attention, impulsivity, and neurodevelopment. The focus stays on association, not certainty, and what that means in practice.
The conversation also breaks down how to think about risk without spiraling. What matters. What is still unclear. And how to approach this without adding more pressure.
What We Cover
Why research is shifting toward ADHD symptoms, not just diagnosis
The possible role of environmental exposure alongside genetics
What endocrine disruptors do and why they matter for brain development
How to interpret early-stage research without overreacting
The gap between scientific findings and everyday decision making

You keep improving the idea instead of finishing the project.
In Wednesday’s breakdown, we showed why ADHD brains prefer ideation and discount future rewards. Today is about building around that.
This episode gives you three systems. A written decision log. A structured ideation window. And a clear threshold for when changes are allowed.
These systems help you move from “this could be better” to “this is done.”
What We Cover:
Why ideas expand until you force a stopping point
The system that turns decisions into something concrete
How to keep ideation from leaking into execution
Using future logs to capture ideas without derailment
Why finishing requires leaving your strongest skill

You have a good plan. But your brain keeps pulling you back into new ideas.
Skye Waterson explains why ADHD brains get stuck in ideation. She’s known for helping founders move from constant thinking into consistent execution.
This episode connects real-world behavior to research. ADHD brains perform well in divergent thinking. But they also prefer it. And they value immediate rewards over delayed ones.
That combination makes finishing harder than starting.
What We Cover:
Why ideation becomes a loop instead of a phase
Research showing ADHD strength in divergent thinking
The preference for idea generation over refinement
How reward timing affects execution
Why finishing feels harder than starting

You built something that works. Now you cannot stop working without everything feeling like it might fall apart.
Krista Mashore is a powerhouse in digital coaching. She built a $70M business after leaving real estate at her peak. She is the gold standard for fast execution and high-output growth, and her systems come directly from managing her own ADHD at scale.
We break down what burnout actually looked like behind the scenes. From selling 150+ homes a year to walking away overnight. Krista explains her “stop, snap, switch” framework, how she manages constant mental noise, and why ADHD makes fast decision-making a real advantage.
You will walk away understanding why success does not remove burnout, and what needs to change if you want to keep growing without breaking yourself.
What We Cover
Why ADHD high performers push past burnout signals
The moment she walked away from a $1.8M income
How “stop, snap, switch” interrupts negative thought loops
Why fast decision-making works with ADHD
The real cost of building without systems
