The ADHD Morning Routine Fix That Finally Works

Have you ever built the “perfect” morning routine, felt amazing for three days, and then suddenly watched it all fall apart? You’re not alone. ADHD brains aren’t built for rigid routines. We crave novelty, our energy shifts from day to day, and shame sets in when consistency doesn’t look the way it’s “supposed” to.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through a flexible ADHD-friendly approach to mornings that actually supports your brain. You’ll learn:

✅ Why traditional routines don’t work for ADHD women
✅ How to design a morning routine that flexes with your energy levels
✅ The 3 versions of a self-love ritual: “better than nothing,” core, and expanded
✅ Simple tricks to remember and adapt your morning routine without shame
✅ How compassion (not perfection) makes your mornings sustainable

Your mornings don’t have to be about discipline or rigidity. They can be a practice of self-love that sets the tone for focus, motivation, and nervous system regulation throughout your day.
