Episode Overview
This week, we’re tackling the challenge of motivation with ADHD and why getting started on tasks often feels like an uphill battle. I break down the science behind it—so we talk about dopamine, executive function, and those brain pathways that just work differently for us.
If you’ve ever struggled with the “why can’t I just get going?” question, we’re talking about that here. Plus, I’ll share strategies to help you and your loved ones get motivated, set realistic goals, and celebrate every small win. We’ll also explore how different triggers, like novelty, interest, and even time pressure, can keep you motivated.
Whether you're dealing with tasks that feel overwhelming or trying to help your child stay on track, I’ve got tips to turn challenges into manageable steps.
