Ep 22. When Your Business is an “ADHD Pipe Dream”

You’ve got a big idea. A new venture. Maybe even a full-on dream. And suddenly your brain is like: “Cool cool cool… but what if this is just another pipe dream?”In this episode, I’m walking you through one of our recent ADHD Untamed coaching calls—where a member’s booming woodworking business sparked a spiral of self-doubt, urgency, and pressure to prove this was finally “the one.”We dive into what happens when your dream feels too big, how ADHD brains are wired for both inspiration and burnout, and why chasing your goals from a place of pressure sets you up to spin out.You'll learn how to shift out of perfectionism, stop trying to prove you're "not flaky," and start building with trust, not panic. Plus, I’ll walk you through a guided visualization to reconnect with your why—without the burnout.If you've ever walked away from something and wondered, “Did I just fail again?”—this one's for you.⏳ In this episode:1:38 – Why your dream feels “too big” (and why that’s an ADHD thing) 3:31 – The difference between pressure and urgency 6:03 – What happens when you tie your worth to performance 9:24 – Why the “perfect system” might be a trauma response 10:51 – The self-sabotage of solving problems before they happen 11:43 – A spiritual lens on patterns like burnout, chaos, overwhelm 12:39 – The shift from proving to trusting yourself 14:30 – Journal prompts to explore your deeper “why” 17:22 – A guided Untamed Alignment to move from pressure to trust 21:39 – Final reflections and how to respond to your inner critic💥 Ready to stop proving and start trusting?Join ADHD Untamed, the coaching experience designed to help you radically accept your ADHD, stop self-abandoning, and build a life that works with your brain.✨ Weekly live coaching with Ana ✨ The Untamed Freedom Formula ✨ Guided visualizations, meditations, and mindset tools ✨ A supportive, wildly relatable community👉🏽 Join now at anaurban.com/adhd-untamed🌱 Ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting yourself—no matter what emotions arise?🎟️ Save your seat for the live 2-day workshop: Rewire Your Brain for Emotional Resilience in Just 5 Minutes a Day🗓️ May 20 & 22 | Included for Untamed members💻 Grab your ticket today!Want to go even deeper?
