Show Notes

If you’ve ever felt like your struggles with ADHD make you "less than"—this one’s a must-listen.

We’re diving deep into Shame Resilience Theory (thanks, Brené Brown!) and unpacking why ADHDers are especially vulnerable to toxic shame. Spoiler: It’s NOT because you’re lazy or broken (even if you’ve been made to feel that way).

✨ We’re covering:

  • Why shame thrives in secrecy—and how to stop feeding it.
  • The real reason ADHD tasks feel SO loaded with guilt and moral judgment.
  • How shame travels in families (👋 hi, generational shame).
  • The antidotes: empathy, self-compassion, and speaking your shame OUT LOUD.

    • We’re done letting shame run the show. Join me and learn how to break the cycle and build real shame resilience 💥. Hit play now—you do not want to miss this one!
