Shownotes

This episode is for my overachievers—the ones who feel the pressure to do more, be more, and never slow down. If you’ve ever felt torn between “hustle harder” and “slow down for self-care,” you’re not alone. Today, I’m unpacking the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps so many stuck in ADHD overwhelm and showing you how to create space for both “productivity” and rest without burning out.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why overachievers with ADHD often feel caught between “do more” and “do less” messaging
  • How all-or-nothing thinking fuels ADHD overwhelm and leads to burnout
  • 3 Simple reflection questions to help you notice what’s going well (and give yourself credit)
  • A fresh way to think about balancing productivity and rest without the guilt
  • Practical ways to avoid burnout while still getting things done

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much and not enough at the same time, this conversation will help you find a gentler, more sustainable middle ground.
