60. Why Follow-Through Feels So Hard and the Burnout is Real

Mini Series – Part 2: Why Follow-Through Feels So Hard

Hosted by Johanna Badenhorst, Clinical Psychologist turned ADHD & Productivity Mentor.

Inside this episode I share:✨ Why follow-through feels harder for ADHD & AuDHD women✨ The Perfectionist–Procrastinator Loop (and how it kept me stuck)✨ How forcing productivity can actually trigger burnout✨ My recent Monday ‘spiral’ — and why I now call it data instead of failure✨ The moment I heard, “burnout isn’t real”… and what science really says✨ Why your systems matter more than your motivation

Stress isn’t always something we can “push through”.When demands exceed our internal resources, our brain protects us — by freezing, delaying, overthinking, or shutting down.That’s not laziness. That’s biology.

And this is where I believe ADHD women need a new approach to success one that honours pressure and capacity.

For ADHD & multipassionate women in business📅 25 November at 7pm AEST (Replay available)Learn the five ADHD Work Modes, why follow-through collapses,and the practical pattern breakers that help you rebuild momentum.
