When Brilliant Feels Like a Curse

You have 47 mental tabs open right now...

• Your 7 year old's birthday party you want to make magical this year.

• The potential business idea that won't stop nagging you.

• The kitchen pantry reorganization you can envisage—everything in its place, finally calm.

You can picture the finished thing. It's vivid. It's beautiful. It's right there.

But when you try to grasp it, it turns to fog. Because you have no idea how to actually make it happen. So the ideas just sit there. Taunting you.

Another said: "It's like doing everything with my hands tied behind my back."

So you wait for the motivation to strike. For a sign that you finally feel ready.

But that sign never comes and the ideas keep piling up. And the gap between what you see and what you can do starts to feel like proof that something is broken in you.

But nothing is broken.

Your brain is wired to see possibilities everywhere. That's a gift. 

But seeing the vision and knowing how to get there are two completely different things—and ADHD brains don't naturally build the bridge between them.

That's not a character flaw. It just IS.

ADHD brains are idea machines—and once you stop expecting yourself to magically bridge that gap alone, you can finally exhale.

This is what I help with.

In coaching, you do most of the talking, because talking helps you THINK. Talking things out helps you figure things out.

Then we break down your projects into steps so small that your brain stops resisting. And we decide WHEN you'll actually take the next step.

We predict what's going to get in the way and plan for it before it happens.

Between sessions, I'm on WhatsApp or email to help you when you're stuck or when something's not clicking.

After six months, my clients have usually tackled 3-5 projects that have been on their to do lists for years.

They know themselves so much better and what actually works for their ADHD brain.

They've stopped fighting themselves.

They have ease, flow, and things finally click.

If you’re ready to stop fighting your brain and finally get things to click, book a free breakthrough call.

On this call, we'll get clear on what you actually want (beyond the mental noise), spot the ADHD patterns keeping you stuck, and figure out your real next steps.

Then we'll decide together if ongoing support makes sense.

Let's get those gorgeous ideas out of your head and into the world.

With love,

Tip of The Week

Next time you're stuck on getting something started, try this:

Imagine your brain is going on vacation and you need to leave instructions for someone else to take over. A robot, maybe. Someone who needs every single step spelled out.

Now—what's the tiniest first step? So tiny you won't feel like putting it off?

For example, you're relieved to be having a shabbat away at your in-laws, but "packing for shabbat" feels like a foggy mountain, especially when you're responsible for packing everyone else's stuff. 

👉🏻If "pack for shabbat" still sounds overwhelming, it's not a step—it's a whole project!

Break it down. 

• "Gather my toiletries" might be the real first step.

• Then, "pick 2 dresses."

• Then "choose shoes to match"...

• ... Repeat for [daughter #1] ...

You probably won't need to break down the whole project. The first few steps get you over the hurdle of starting, and then you’ll feel like you're coasting.

That's how you build stepping stones between your ideas and being able to execute them.
