In high-pressure careers, stress is constant, and for adults with ADHD, that pressure can quickly turn into frustration, overwhelm, and chronic complaining.

In this short episode, Dave digs into one of the most important personal upgrades you can make: shifting from reacting to your problems to actively solving them.

This isn't about ignoring stress or pretending things are easy…It's about learning how to reclaim control, build momentum, and become someone who figures things out instead of staying stuck in the same mental loop.

Remember, those of us with Adult ADHD are great problem solvers!

Key Discussion Points:

  • Why the "complaint loop" feels productive, but quietly drains your energy and power
  • The critical difference between venting for relief and problem-solving for change
  • How ADHD magnifies overwhelm, and why shrinking problems restores momentum
  • The one question that instantly shifts you from reaction mode into solution mode
  • How language shapes your outcomes: replacing emotional drama with usable data
  • Why problem solvers don't wait for perfect clarity, they take imperfect action fast
  • The identity shift that changes everything: becoming "the person who figures it out"

If you feel stuck in the same frustrations at work or at home, this episode will give you a practical, actionable roadmap to move forward, one small decision at a time.
