Stop beating yourself up for being "inconsistent." Your ADHD brain wasn't built for it-and that's okay.

Consistency is the most oversold advice out there, and it's crushing people with ADHD. In this episode, we're replacing impossible standards with strategies that actually work for your brain.

In This Episode:

  • Why consistency is an unfair expectation for ADHD brains
  • How ADHD brains run on dopamine and novelty—not steady motivation
  • The Minimum/Maximum Method for avoiding all-or-nothing thinking
  • What "baby quitting" is (and why it's not actually failing)
  • How to track your progress when your brain lies to you
  • Reframing failure as feedback that helps you grow

The Bottom Line: Inconsistency isn't a personality flaw—it's part of how you're wired. The goal isn't perfection; it's trying again in a way that works for YOU.

Every time you quit and restart, you're getting better. Consistency isn't about never quitting—it's about what you do after.

Where can you show up one more time today, even if you've quit before?
