Ep 238 ADHD & Goal Setting: Why the Rules Were Never Built for Your Brain

from Boldly Becoming You Podcast

If you've tried every productivity system out there and still feel like you're failing at your own goals, this episode is for you. Tasha sits down with ADHD coach, Bianca Faricy, to get real about why neurotypical goal-setting frameworks don't work for ADHD brains, what burnout recovery actually looks like when you're neurodivergent, and how emotion-first goal setting changes everything. From This Episode: Bianca got her ADHD diagnosis at 47, burned out of a 25-year teaching career, and rebuilt her life from scratch. Here's what she and Tasha unpack: Why ADHD goal-setting is a completely different game than what you've been taught How a lifetime of masking disconnects you from knowing what you actually want The problem with discipline and willpower-based goals for high-achieving entrepreneurs What emotion-first goal setting looks like in practice Why "self-sabotage" isn't real - and what's actually happening when you hit a wall How nervous system regulation is the missing piece in your goal-achievement strategy Why ADHDers are ambitious as hell and just need the right tools The shame of feeling behind, and how to stop letting it run the show How boundaries for business owners are built on nervous system capacity, not willpower Links & Resources Connect with Bianca: http://www.biancafaricycoach.com   Follow Bianca on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biancafaricyadhd/   Boldly Becoming You Workshop: https://www.rulesandrebellion.com/boldlybecomingyou  Book a clarity call: https://calendly.com/tashaskillin/clarity-call-30 Follow us on Instagram: @rulesandrebellion
