Episode 81 - Why don't ADHDers ask for help?

from Unconventional Business Podcast Hosted by Siobhan Fox

Why don’t ADHDers ask for help? Join me on this episode where I’m going old skool… just me, a mic, and my thoughts - and tackling a big question. As someone who has been hyper-independent for most of my life, I’ve come to realise that this isn’t a strength - it’s a response to trauma. Many ADHDers struggle to reach out for support, whether in life, business, or personal relationships, and my intention for this episode is to explore why that might be and, crucially, what we can do about it. What you’ll discover in this episode: How hyper-independence develops and why it’s not always a good thing. The hidden shame and beliefs that stop ADHDers from seeking support. Why we’re not supposed to do life alone (and how history proves it). The real-life challenges that my ADHD clients and I face daily. How to start identifying the help you need and overcoming the guilt of asking for it. Small, practical steps to lighten your cognitive load and reduce overwhelm. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to handle this on my own,” this episode is for you! To find out more about my work coaching ADHD business owners, get in touch!
