What if the classic growth mindset advice — like "if at first you don't success, try, try again" or "learn from your mistakes" — actually makes ADHD symptoms worse?

In this episode, we explore why common growth mindset messages can backfire for people with ADHD, leading to shame, burnout, and self-doubt.

You’ll learn how executive function challenges change the way we experience effort, failure, and success — and what an ADHD-friendly growth mindset could look like.

Whether you’re diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just wondering if something feels off when it comes to growth mindset platitudes, this episode offers validation, insight, and new ways to support yourself.
