Ever shown up late (again) and thought, “Ugh, why can’t I just get it together?” That’s not just forgetfulness, mama—it’s ADHD shame taking a swing at your self-worth.

In this episode, we sit down with therapist and ADHD coach Rebecca Tolbert to dig into why women with ADHD are so hard on themselves, how shame spirals keep us stuck, and why more productivity isn’t the answer. Rebecca shares science-backed tools to calm your brain, regulate your nervous system, and finally stop believing you’re “the worst.”

If you’ve been beating yourself up for not following through, always running late, or feeling like you’ll never measure up, this conversation will feel like the hug (and the reality check) you desperately need.
