Plus, we'll share one counterintuitive technique that stops the spiral before it starts.

Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD/OCD or simply notice these patterns in your life, this conversation will forever change how you understand your reactions to criticism. Listen now to transform what feels like your biggest weakness into your hidden superpower
