from From Stuck to Started: Executive Function & ADHD Coaching to Take Action

Today’s episode of From Stuck to Started is a little different. I’m sharing some personal reflections from my own life and business about growth mindset, asking for help, and navigating perfectionism, fear, and discomfort. Through a story about hiking—and a few winding but connected reflections—you’ll hear what I’ve learned from one year of podcasting and what it really means to give yourself credit for the climb, not just the summit.What you’ll learn in this episode:Why growth mindset is less about reaching the top and more about how you handle the climbHow fear, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking can quietly keep you stuckThe power of being “seen trying” and why it’s a skill worth practicingWhat I’ve learned in my first year of podcasting—and how I’ve learned to adapt my own expectations along the wayHow to reflect on your own goals, challenges, and wins (and actually give yourself credit for them)If you’ve ever felt scared to start, afraid to be seen trying, or unsure if you’re “doing it right,” this episode is for you.Host: Sarah Lovell, Executive Function & ADHD CoachResources Mentioned:Get your Free ADHD Action Plan Read the Blog here (and see photos from the hike I talk about!) Connect with Sarah Lovell: Website: Executive Functioning FirstInstagram: @executivefunctioningfirstMusic by: AudioCoffee, Inspirational Background
