🧠 what does growth with ADHD actually look like? 🧠 what does growth with ADHD actually look like?

for me, it’s not about never falling into old patterns. it’s about noticing when you’re caught in an ADHD trap faster and adjusting without the inner critic, the shame spiral, the drama.

I quit the 40-day yap challenge after just 1 week, and here’s why I’m okay with that:

• caught myself neglecting my wellness habits in favor of posting daily
• realized daily posting was never actually my goal
• 7 days was enough to build the muscle I wanted for making content

quick note for anyone wondering if @jessijeanhome ‘s yap challenge is worth it, I’ve done some content courses before, and she’s providing the value that she’s promised and then some. completely worth a $300 investment if you’re looking for inspiration and practical advice on yapping on social media.

i’ll continue using her prompts and learning from her, but just not pushing myself to do daily yaps anymore and mix in other formats that have been calling to me. 🫶🏻

💬 tell me in the comments: what’s a pattern you’ve noticed yourself falling into that you’re ready to adjust?

🛁 At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bat 🛁 At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bathtub Model of Stress was the mental model that *actually* made me believe that it was possible to feel like myself again.

I think my visual brain appreciates the analogy. This model gave me a clear picture of what I needed to do to get out of the vicious cycle.

🔥This is Episode 2 of the Burnout Diaries. 

Follow along if you’re feeling burned out or need more structure in your life. I share one framework per episode to help you get out burnout. 🫶🏻

the perfect planner doesn’t exist, trust me, I’ve the perfect planner doesn’t exist, trust me, I’ve tried. 😅

here’s how my Type-A ADHD brain actually gets organized now.

💬 Tell me in the comments what’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done or bought to try to get organized?

For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not su For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not sure who to tell.

The honest answer is it depends on your workplace. Google has a lot of ERGs like ADHD Women’s groups, and I felt safe with my manager so I told them. But I was careful beyond that.

Because the reality is there are biases around ADHD. People are uneducated, and I’ve heard enough stories from other ADHDers at Google to know it doesn’t always go the way you hope.

Even toward the end I still sometimes worried. What if people found out and used it against me. There’s both an external bias and an internal one you’re quietly working through at the same time.

I feel comfortable sharing more openly now. Partly because I’ve done a lot of healing. And partly because I don’t have coworkers anymore 😅

I’m a safe space. DMs are always open. 🤍

Undiagnosed ADHD: the struggle is real. 🙃 Before Undiagnosed ADHD: the struggle is real. 🙃

Before my ADHD diagnosis at 34, I genuinely thought I was just bad at being an adult. I even went to therapy about it, only we never determined I was struggling with ADHD. I just thought adulting sucked.

The trash room, the laundry chair, the pantry disaster, the planner graveyard. I kept waiting for the day I would finally get👏🏻 it 👏🏻 together👏🏻.

Turns out, my brain just works differently. What a relief to finally have an answer to the question “What is wrong with me?!”

These aren’t character flaws or my *chaotic* personality. They’re executive function challenges. Task initiation, working memory, follow-through. Things my brain genuinely struggles with for biological reasons.

Knowing that doesn’t magically clean my trash room. But it does mean I can stop spending energy feel frustrated with myself and start figuring out systems actually works for my brain.

If any of these hit a little too close to home, tell me in the comments. Having ADHD is less scary than you may think.
