In this episode, I let you in on what’s happening behind the scenes as old core beliefs, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and ADHD patterns start fighting for control right when the novelty wears off and consistency begins.

If you’re someone who gets excited about new ideas, jumps in fast, and then suddenly feels paralyzed, overwhelmed, or convinced you should quit altogether — this one will probably hit close to home.

We talk about the mental “tricks” that show up when things get hard and the urge to abandon your project gets louder.

I share real life examples, hard-earned insights, and the systems we can put in place to keep ourselves moving forward without burning out or losing our creativity.

I mention my favourite Podcast and promised to share it here:

Dinner shouldn’t be the thing that breaks you at the end of the day — and yet, for so many women, it is.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact 5 step meal planning system I use to get dinner on the table faster, with less mess, fewer dishes, and way less mental load. This is realistic meal planning for busy women, especially those dealing with burnout, ADHD, decision fatigue, and overwhelming routines. This isn't about eating perfectly, following strict rules, or reorganizing your whole life. This is about building a simple, repeatable meal planning routine that works with real-life.

Here are the resources I promised:

“I don’t hate cooking or meal planning—I’m exhausted from making too many decisions in an environment that doesn’t support my mind.”- Alyssa David

In part 1 of this 2-part series, we talk about why starting and sticking to our dinner routines is such a struggle for women with ADHD and/or burn out.

Together, we debunk our core beliefs about laziness, overwhelm, and failure, by seeing them for what they actually are.

We talk about:

-What the true reason is behind our avoidance when it comes to dinner routines.

-Why I believe the chores we are rushing through are the things we actually yearn to enjoy.

-How we can start to adjust out environment in a way that can support us in making our life satisfying again.

In the second part of this series, I will share the system I use and exactly how I like to execute it each week.

Here is the link to the Meal Planner Guide I'll be breaking down next week:
