If your ADHD brain loves to tell you “I didn’t do enough this year” or “I should be further along by now,” this episode is for you my friend!

I walk you through the 6 questions I ask myself at the end of every year to help my ADHD brain see the full picture, not just the blooper reel.

We talk about the idea of living in “the gap” (only seeing how far you are from where you think you should be) vs “the gain” (actually noticing how far you’ve come), and why ADHD brains are especially prone to getting stuck in the gap.

You’ll hear:

Why ADHD brains are not reliable historians (working memory, emotional memory, negativity bias & all-or-nothing thinking)
How self-awareness is an executive function & how these 6 questions help you strengthen it
The 6 areas I reflect on each year (health, work, relationships, joy, money, growth) with real examples from my life & coaching clients
How to look at your low points as data, not a character flaw
How to use what you learn to make small, practical changes
