Episode Details

If you've ever tried to build a morning routine and ended up feeling like a failure when it didn't stick, this one's for you. In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional morning routines often don't work for ADHD brains, and sharing a more flexible, realistic approach to creating mornings that actually feel good.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why morning routines for ADHD need to look different and why rigid routines can actually backfire on an ADHD brain
• How to create a morning routine you'll actually stick to by starting with one small, sustainable shift instead of overhauling everything at once
• A simple reflection exercise to identify what's already working in your morning (and what might need a gentle tweak)
• How to create routines that work for you by building in flexibility, so skipping a day doesn't feel like starting over
• Different strategies to stop doomscrolling in the morning
