About this listen
Do you ever feel like you know what you should do… but you just can’t make yourself do it?
In this episode, Renee continues talking about the three main types of impulsivity many women with ADHD experience — from split-second decisions to the struggle of delaying gratification.
You’ll learn:
-
Why ADHD brains often can’t pause before acting and struggle even when they do
-
How delay discounting makes future rewards feel less valuable
-
How your mind create scenarios that talk you out of delayed gratification
-
Real-life examples you’ll instantly relate to (hello, skipping the grocery store for the couch!)
-
And practical tools to manage impulsivity with self-compassion
Renee shares strategies like creating a dopamine-raising list of things you love to do, visualizing future rewards, mindset shifts and developing personal reward systems that actually work for ADHD brains.
