Ever feel like even simple choices drain you?

In this episode, I’m diving into decision fatigue, the quiet, exhausting side of ADHD and anxiety that nobody really warns you about. You know, when every choice feels heavy and your brain’s running on empty, it’s easy to start doubting yourself.

I’ll share how I’m learning to rebuild self-trust, what actually helps when your mind feels jammed, and a few small ways to bring your brain and energy back online. 💛

Because honestly, being indecisive isn’t laziness, it’s your brain trying to protect itself. From picking lunch to making work decisions, ADHD impulsivity and anxious overthinking can make even the smallest choices feel massive. When every option comes with a dozen what-ifs, no wonder we freeze, delay, or hand the decision to someone else.

What I cover:

  • Why ADHD and anxiety make every decision feel like climbing a mountain
  • How overthinking and perfectionism drain your mental energy
  • Practical tools like decision windows, default options and micro-commitments
  • How to use criteria, not emotions, to simplify choices
  • Small ways to rebuild trust in your own judgement

💬 Quote to remember:

“Indecision doesn’t mean failure, it just means your brain is tired.”
