ADHD and Perfectionism: Why “All or Nothing” Keeps You Stuck (Ep 84)

ADHD and Perfectionism: Why “All or Nothing” Keeps You Stuck (Ep 84)

In this episode of the Mind & Money Podcast, Sherry (financial coach) and Val (financial planner) dive into how ADHD and perfectionism can feed the all-or-nothing mindset, and how that mentality can sabotage your money, your business, and your peace of mind.

They share personal stories, call out toxic trends like “75 Hard” and “no-spend challenges,” and break down why moderation and accountability matter so much for ADHD brains.

If you’ve ever said “I’ll start when it’s perfect” or “I blew it, so what’s the point?”, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why perfectionism keeps ADHD entrepreneurs stuck

  • How to replace “all or nothing” thinking with progress and flexibility

  • Why accountability helps you actually follow through

  • The truth about moderation (and how it applies to money and life)

  • Simple ADHD-friendly ways to start taking action — even when you don’t feel ready

👉 The takeaway? Perfection isn’t required; consistency (and your own unique version of consistency) is. Start messy, stay kind to yourself, and remember that small steps still count.
