Ever feel like you’re either “all in” or completely stuck? That’s the ADHD trap. In this episode, Jon and James break down the cycle of hyperfocus, burnout, guilt, and avoidance — and why it's so common for adults with ADHD.

We share real-life examples, clinical insight, and practical ways to design a life that actually works with your brain, not against it. From coding all night to skipping meals to time-blindness chaos — we’ve lived it, and we see it in our patients every day.

You’ll learn:

• Why “ADHD is my superpower” can be a double-edged sword
• How to balance stimulation across work, relationships, and rest
• What it takes to break the cycle (without shame)

If you’ve ever burned out doing something you love — this one’s for you.
