If you love winding conversations, you’re going to love this chat with Meg Duke. We talk about navigating business, burnout, and the art of doing things differently. It’s full of honest reflections, practical strategies, and a shared appreciation for doing things your way —even if that means letting go of hustle culture and embracing imperfect action. In this episode, we talk about: The difference between therapy & coaching for ADHD – the benefits of therapy & coaching for ADHD & how to find the right support for you Letting go of productivity guilt – Why rest is essential for creative minds and how embracing your natural rhythms can actually help you get more done. Creating systems that work for your brain – How trial-and-error, playful experimentation, and curiosity can lead to sustainable routines. The connection between burnout and executive function challenges – What burnout really looks like for ADHDers and how to recognize the warning signs early. Navigating the emotional side of task initiation – Why starting is often the hardest part, and how mindset shifts and tiny steps can break the paralysis. Permission to do things differently – How rejecting hustle culture, embracing your own pace, and leaning into your strengths can be the key to consistency.
