    Failing at Normal. Why Your ADHD Brain Isn't Built for Consistency

    Ever felt frustrated when people expect consistent performance from you, but your brain delivers brilliant flashes of genius followed by periods of rest? In this video, I tackle the ADHD entrepreneur's dilemma: society values consistent reliability, but our neurodivergent brains are wired for occasional extraordinary performance.


    I'll share how I've stopped trying to force consistency across everything and instead discovered a more effective approach - selective consistency in what truly matters. Learn how to build "golden bridge" systems for your priorities while giving yourself permission to be occasionally brilliant in other areas. Perfect for ADHD entrepreneurs who are tired of forcing themselves into productivity systems that weren't designed for their brains.

    As an adhd life coach who understands the value of adhd coach strategies, I need to address the increasing requests for free business coaching advice about starting an ADHD coaching practice. While I deeply appreciate our community, I can't provide individual consulting sessions to everyone seeking guidance. My coaching clients and coaching packages require dedicated time and energy, which means I must be selective with my executive coaching commitments. 🎯

    That said, I made this video for you. I hope you find it helpful!
