If you have ADHD (and especially if you run your own business), you probably know this cycle: push hard to hit a deadline, get it done, then do the same thing next week. It works often enough that you keep relying on it, until the week it doesn’t and you’re running on nothing.

Dr. Tracey Marks is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Skye and Tracey talk about why pushing through is so hard to give up and what it costs your attention and energy over time.

Tracey’s main point: recovery only works when it matches what drained you in the first place.

In this episode:

• Why pressure you put on yourself as a business owner hits differently than pressure from a boss

• How to tell whether you’re socially or cognitively drained, and what helps each one

• Tracey’s baseline for sleep, food, and movement (including her own bedtime routine)

• How to build a small set of anxiety tools that work for you and keep them within reach

Listen in if you’ve been running low for a while and keep telling yourself it’s just a busy season.
