Why is it so hard to reply to that email, book the appointment or drop off the charity bag that’s been in your car for weeks?

In this episode, we’re talking about the Wall of Awful... It's the emotional wall between you & the task. In theory the task is simple. But emotionally, it feels HUGE. That “too much” feeling is your wall of awful.

Inside the episode, we explore:

• What the Wall of Awful is & why ADHDers get such big walls
• How each “brick” is made from past criticism, shame, failure & fear
• Why that stuck, heavy, guilty feeling before a task is not laziness
• How emotions drive actions (and why that matters way more than “motivation”)
• 3 ADHD-friendly ways to get to the other side of the wall
• How self-judgement quietly adds more bricks… And how self-compassion starts taking them out
