When a Big Decision Flops: What I Learned (and What I’m Letting Go Of)

from It's The ADHD-Friendly Show | Personal Growth, Well-being and Productivity for Distractible Minds · host Caren Magill

Ever made a thoughtful decision that didn’t work out—and then spiraled into shame about it? In this deeply personal episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of shutting down a business idea I spent years thinking about and only months executing.This isn’t just about business—it’s about ADHD decision-making, self-trust, emotional processing, and giving yourself grace when something doesn’t go the way you hoped.If you’re someone who overthinks, overdoes, or overcommits (hello, same), this story might give you the permission and perspective you didn’t know you needed.I’ll walk you through what led to my decision, how I managed the fallout, and the most powerful shift that helped me exit the shame spiral and come out more grounded, self-aware, and aligned.
