Intro

In this episode, we explore why following through on projects is particularly challenging for ADHD brains and introduce the concept of the "Valley of Despair" - that critical point where most of us abandon our initiatives. Drawing from both neuroscience and personal experience, I share three powerful strategies to push through this valley: managing your dopamine intentionally, implementing a "pause practice" before starting new projects, and using self-awareness as a navigation tool. Whether you're struggling with perfectionism or simply find yourself repeatedly starting and abandoning projects, this episode offers practical tools to build your follow-through muscles and complete what matters most. Learn how to define "done," set reasonable expectations, and finally break the cycle of unfinished projects that damages self-trust and satisfaction.
