Description

Have you noticed a pattern of extremes in your life? All in or all out, never just 'enough'?In this episode of our "Tangled In..." mini-series, I'm diving deep into the experience of ‘Chasing Highs’ that I know so many of us can relate to. I'm exploring my own experiences with restlessness, the pursuit of ‘more’ and that feeling of never being truly satisfied… Why do I and so many others with ADHD, often experience an intense need to chase highs? I'll break down the science behind this, including the role of dopamine, executive function challenges like working memory and time blindness, and the impact of self-belief and societal pressures.I’ll walk you through how this shows up in my own life, from the subtle to the messy. And we’ll explore:✨ Why dopamine plays such a huge role in our constant search for stimulation 🧠 What time blindness, impulsivity, and working memory have to do with it 💔 How this chase can show up in our relationships, habits, or even addiction 🔎 How self-belief (or lack of it) feeds into the cycle of always needing more 💡 And most importantly — what we can do about itI’ll also share a simple coaching tool called the “HIGH” framework to help you recognise when you're chasing something that’s not serving you — and how to shift that energy into something more aligned.Let’s stop hating ourselves for being “too much” — and start understanding the why behind our patterns.🎧 Listen now and let me know what you'd love for me to cover next!Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO! Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in? me too! And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi…. To name a few Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normal… None of it ever did.
