But for ADHD creators, there are two things actively working against it: perfectionism and masking. In this video I talk about both, and what I've actually done to get past them. In this one I cover:- Why asking "how do I be authentic?" means you're already approaching it wrong- How my background in filmmaking made my perfectionism worse- What masking really is and why it quietly kills your content- How sobriety changed my relationship with showing up on camera- The freeze vs perform cycle and how to calm your nervous system through it- Why your personal story is the one thing nobody can argue with104 days of posting. 7,000 followers gained.
