ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the name is so misleading. People with ADHD have an abundance of attention… the challenge is controlling it.

People with ADHD have a harder time focusing on things that they don’t find interesting. When a neurotypical person does a boring task, their brain still releases steady dopamine as a reward to keep them moving. For people with ADHD, that chemical reward is missing. So there’s a reason the tasks you find boring, uninteresting or understimulating can sometimes feel painful or bring discomfort.

On the other hand, when people with ADHD engage in a task they do find interesting, their brain releases a massive rush of dopamine… aka hyperfocus!! 🤓

A few things that can help:

✨ Pair boring tasks with dopamine (music, a podcast, a favorite drink, etc.)
Tip: Create a dopamine menu so you can easily think of ideas when you need them. A dopamine menu is a list of healthy, enjoyable activities that give your brain a little boost of dopamine.

✨ Use body doubling. Many people with ADHD find it easier to stay focused when another person is present, even if they’re working on something completely different.

✨ Break tasks into smaller steps. ADHD brains often struggle with getting started, not necessarily doing the task itself.

✨ Make tasks more novel, challenging, urgent, or interesting whenever possible.

✨ Use external supports like timers, visual reminders, calendars, and alarms instead of relying on memory alone.

✨ Start with just 2-5 minutes. Momentum often creates motivation, not the other way around.

✨ Reduce distractions and make the task as easy to access as possible.

✨ Be compassionate with yourself. Struggling to focus on boring tasks isn’t laziness. It’s how the ADHD brain is wired.

Because every therapist needs a therapist bestie 🫶

It’s estimated that up to 45% of women with ADHD also experience PMDD (which let’s be honest that probably means this percentage is even higher). These women often feel like they have two completely different brains depending on where they are in their cycle.

For part of the month, they feel focused, motivated, emotionally regulated, and more on top of their responsibilities. Then the week before their period (and sometimes the first few days of their period), everything can feel significantly harder.

Tasks that felt manageable suddenly feel overwhelming. Executive dysfunction, brain fog, emotional sensitivity, irritability, rejection sensitivity, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms often become much more intense.

What is PMDD? PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a severe hormone-related mood disorder that occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, typically the 1-2 weeks before menstruation begins. It goes far beyond typical PMS and can have a significant impact on mood, emotional regulation, focus, energy, and daily functioning.

Many women spend years thinking they’re “losing it” every month when they’re actually experiencing a very real interaction between hormones, ADHD, and the nervous system. So yeah… it makes sense that you’re having a hard time when you actually consider everything that’s happening inside your body!!!!

A few things that can help:

• Track your cycle so you know what to expect.
• Honor your luteal phase—slow down, prioritize rest, eat nourishing foods, and get extra sleep.
• Focus on nervous system regulation and gentle movement.
• Consider therapy, medication, and/or supplements for additional support.
• Work with your brain, not against it. If you have ADHD, this may not be the week to tackle your most demanding projects or hold yourself to the same standards you do during the rest of your cycle.

The goal isn’t to push through it harder. The goal is to understand what’s happening and give your brain and body the support they need 🩷🫂✨

Your greatest asset is your authenticity. You were never meant to be a copy of someone else. You were meant to bring your unique gifts, perspective, energy, experiences, and personality into the world.

The more you lean into who you truly are, the less you have to force things. You naturally attract the people who resonate with you. You attract opportunities that align with you. You create connections that feel genuine instead of performative.

Being unapologetically yourself won’t attract everyone and everything…and that’s the point.

You’re not meant for everyone or everything. You’re meant for the people, opportunities, and experiences that align with who you authentically are.

Stop trying to fit into someone else’s mold. Stop comparing yourself to everyone around you. The magic happens when you give yourself permission to fully be YOU ✨
