The ADHD Masking Trifecta: How to Function When It Stops Working

In this episode, we dig into the ADHD Masking Trifecta - Overfunctioning, People Pleasing, and Perfectionism - that many of us high-functioning ADHD women adopted (often subconsciously as kids) to be able to function with ADHD.  We’ll explore signs that it is no longer working and what to do instead. 

This is essential - especially for ADHD Women Entrepreneurs - both because we need to show up authentically in our business to attract our ideal clients and because masking in this way eventually creates problems with functioning instead of increasing our ability to function (not to mention being disconnected from who we really are).

By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to spot when the masking isn’t working and know what to do to function now.

If you’d like help doing this deeper work, I offer two options for this:

1.  My high-touch program ASCEND: The ADHD Women Entrepreneur’s Mastery Program includes 12 1:1 coaching sessions with me to do this deeper work.  You can learn more about that here and if you still have questions you can reach out to get on a call with me to discuss if the program is a fit for you and if you are a fit for the program.
2. One-to-one ADHD Success coaching sessions.  You can apply to meet to discuss 1:1 coaching here.

As always, thanks for listening!  I’d love it if you would leave a review.

I have created two (pretty low quality - LOL) tutorials on how to leave a review on Apple podcast or Spotify in case you would like assistance.  

And, if you enjoyed this episode be sure to follow if you aren’t already and share with others with whom you think it will resonate.
