E270: You're Not Missing Out When You Say No

Motherhood in ADHD – Parenting with ADHD, Productivity Tips, Brain based Science, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Education to Help Moms with Adult ADHD

Ever feel like if you say no to a good opportunity, you'll regret it forever? Like the next big thing is right around the corner... and you'll miss it if you stop moving? I've been there. Saying no is hard, especially when your ADHD brain loves chasing shiny new ideas.

In this episode, I'm sharing a clip from my friend Jacki Hayes' podcast where I answered, "What's the biggest business lesson you've learned lately?" And spoiler alert: it wasn't about business strategy. It was about letting go—of plans, of good ideas, of the fear that saying no means missing out.

You'll hear why I closed something I loved, how I made peace with doing less, and what happens when you create space for what truly matters. And if your brain, like mine, struggles with feeling like every season is forever... this one's for you.

Come take a deep breath with me. You're not falling behind when you say no—you're making space for what's next.
