S5 E5 – Tangled In…Quitting: Breaking Free From Shame & Embracing Your ADHD Brain

Do you have a graveyard of unfinished projects? A closet full of abandoned hobbies? If so, you're in the right place

In this episode, we're untangling the idea of being a "professional quitter" especially within the ADHD community. Many of us carry a narrative of shame around quitting, impacting our confidence and future goals. But what if we could reframe quitting as a strength?

Join me as I explore why those with ADHD often find quitting easy, delving into the role of dopamine, our interest-based nervous system and executive function challenges. I'll share my own experiences with quitting, from abandoned baby massage dolls to nine jobs in ten years…

We'll unpack:

🧠 Why our dopamine-driven brains crave novelty and new experiences.

🧐 How overwhelm and executive function issues like goal prioritization contribute to quitting.

💔 The impact of societal views and shame on our self-esteem and confidence.

✨ How perfectionism and masking can lead us to quit even when we're on the path to success.

💡 And most importantly — how to shift our mindset, understand when to stick and when to quit, and embrace quitting as a tool for a more fulfilling life.

I'll share coaching questions to help you determine if you're quitting out of fear or intuition, and we'll explore strategies like practicing quitting and building evidence that it's not always a bad thing!

Let’s stop seeing quitting as a weakness and start recognising it as a unique strength.

🎧 Listen now!

Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤


ADHD COACHING

IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!


Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in?

me too!

And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself

Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi…. To name a few

Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normal…

None of it ever did.

But two things in my life that have allowed me to live a more meaningful and authentic life and that is Yoga & My ADHD Diagnosis, which is why I am on a Mission to support as many individuals with ADHD to turn their struggle into strength with ADHD through Movement & ADHD Coaching.
