In a special Patreon Only Episode of the podcast, I chat with my ADHD coach Paula Engebretson, host of the I’m Busy Being Awesome Podcast.

To listen to or watch this episode ad-free and in full - jump on over to Patreon and with this link you can get a 7-day-free-trial. We talk about the realities of navigating ADHD through different “seasons of life,” why rigid systems rarely work, and how values, energy levels, and self-understanding need to guide how we build routines. I share my own ADHD “rock bottom” and what shifted when I stopped chasing the “perfect planner” and instead worked with Paula to design flexible systems that actually fit my brain and my life. The conversation is equal parts personal insight and practical wisdom, offering you a candid look at why learning how your brain works is more powerful than any one productivity tool. Take Paula’s What’s Your Overwhelm Response Type? Quiz to find out what gets you in a state of overwhelm and how to help yourself out!
