We’re not just talking about garden-variety distraction here. This is about the deeper, sneakier kind: the kind that hijacks your focus, derails your day, and makes you question your intelligence (been there).

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with distraction, what actually helps (no shame-based hacks here), and the real reason it’s not your fault, but it might be your beliefs that are getting in your way.

We’ll talk:
