In this episode, ADHD coach Jorie Houlihan dives deep into why ADHD brains experience decision fatigue differently and more intensely than neurotypical brains.
You'll discover some of the neurological reasons decision fatigue hits ADHD women harder—from executive function challenges to working memory limitations, perfectionism, and time blindness.
Beyond understanding the "why," this episode delivers proven strategies to reduce your daily decisions and preserve mental energy for what truly matters.
You'll learn how to recognize early warning signs of decision fatigue before complete burnout hits, and get a complete "Decision Fatigue First Aid Kit" for when you're overwhelmed.
Jorie also shares body-based resets that actually restore cognitive function, decision-free zones you can build into your daily routine, and how to practice radical acceptance without falling into shame spirals.
