Hacking Your ADHD · Tearing Down Cement Walls of Shame with Ron Capalbo · 25 May 2026 podcast

Thanks again to Ron for coming on the show and thank you for sticking with us all the way to the end. voice-verified

Before you go though, let's do a quick rundown of today's top tips. voice-verified

One. voice-verified

Try out the 2 vs 9 scale for expectation management. voice-verified

We often fail to start because we set the entry level bar at a 9, like cooking 7 nights a week, which can often feel impossible. voice-verified

If instead we intentionally lower our aim to something that's more around the lines of a two, we bypass the brain's frozen state and create a low friction path to initiation. voice-verified

Two voice-verified

Many of us with ADHD actively avoid giving ourselves credit because we've been conditioned to fear that if we're satisfied, it will lead to complacency. voice-verified

Mechanically, however, withholding credit creates a narrative vacuum in our operating system. voice-verified

Our brain assumes it just didn't happen. voice-verified

It looks at everything left to do, decides we're failing, and triggers a total system freeze, what Ron calls a cement wall. voice-verified

The fix here isn't forcing toxic positive affirmations your brain knows are fake, it just takes factual data entry. voice-verified

Take a second to acknowledge that you move from a level 1 to a level 2. voice-verified

You're not throwing yourself a parade, you're just hitting save so your brain has the baseline level to keep moving forward without crashing. voice-verified

Three. voice-verified

Setbacks are inevitable, but the duration of the setback is determined by your level of self-shame. voice-verified

Implementing a grace period or a mental hug isn't about being soft. voice-verified

It's a strategic tool to reduce the time spent in a frozen state and get us back to baseline faster. voice-verified

All right, that's it. voice-verified

Thanks for listening. voice-verified
