Ep 112. How to Build Habits with ADHD (That Actually Stick)
Description
Do you tell yourself, “I’m just not a habit person”? I get it—and same. But ADHD doesn’t mean you can’t build habits—it means you need to build them differently.
In this video, I walk you through how to create habits in a way that actually works for your ADHD brain—without the burnout, shame spirals, or “new me, new life” traps.
💡 You’ll learn:
-Why tiny habits matter more than big ones
-How to work with your brain, not against it
-What to do when you lose a habit that was working
-How to build flexibility into your routines
-The surprising key to restarting without shame
