Ever made a huge, life-changing plan… and then totally ghosted it a week later? Welcome to the ADHD goal-setting struggle. If you’ve ever set a massive goal in a moment of motivation—only to burn out fast—you’re not alone. This episode is your permission slip to dream big and start small (like, really small).

This episode is for you if you’ve:

  • Gone all-in on a goal… and crashed hard
  • Felt like realistic goals are boring
  • Lost trust in yourself because you keep quitting
  • We’ll break down:

    💥 Why ADHD brains love fantasy goals

    🎯 How to set actually doable goals (with zero shame)

    🏁 Why slow, steady, and sustainable wins the race (yes, even with ADHD)

    You’ll learn:

  • The 5 rules of ADHD-friendly goal-setting
  • How to start way smaller than you think
  • What to do when your brain screams: “THIS ISN’T ENOUGH!”
  • Hit play and walk away with a goal you can actually stick to this week.
