10 signs you need more support as a busy...

David A Greenwood
About this episode

In this episode, we dive into the raw realities that busy adults with ADHD face every day, especially those of you juggling high-pressure careers and demanding home lives.

**This episode isn’t about shame.  It’s about seeing yourself clearly and realizing you’re not alone.

And understanding there is support out there for you!

If you feel like you're always behind, overwhelmed, or silently falling apart while everyone thinks you’ve got it all together, this one’s for you.

Dave briefly hits on 10 brutally honest pain points, that capture exactly what it’s like to live with a brain that won’t slow down in a world that won’t wait.

From decision fatigue and constant mental clutter to the emotional whiplash of hyper-focus and burnout, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.

We don’t just name the problems, we agitate them, shine a light on what’s often left unsaid, and tap into fears that can keep us stuck.
