Decision Fatigue and the ADHD Brain: When Choices Overwhelm

Claire and Laura discuss how decision fatigue shows up in ADHD—especially for women—exploring hyperfocus, hormones, perfectionism and the parade of “what ifs” that can make simple choices feel impossible.

They share personal examples (dental anxiety, planning runs, cancelled trips) and offer gentle strategies: give yourself time to explore, accept how your brain works, use audiobooks/podcasts to calm racing thoughts, and practice self-compassion in the “no shame zone.”
