August 19th If you live with ADHD, you’ve probably been told more times than you can count that you’re â€śmessy,” “scattered,” or “not living up to your potential.” And while those labels sting, here’s the twist: many ADHDers aren’t sloppy at all—we’re perfectionists.

🧠 Budgeting for ADHD Brains: Building Financial Clarity Without Overwhelm

🧠 ADHD and Control: How to Stop Worrying About What You Can’t Change

By Shayne Swift | SwiftLyfe Coaching & Consulting ADHD brains don’t just think—they spiral. We replay conversations, stress over the unknown, and get stuck in mental loops trying to control what’s already happened… or hasn’t happened yet. If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the what-ifs, the should-haves, or the why-didn’t-they’s, you’re not alone. You’re not weak.You’re wired differently. And this pattern—worrying about things outside your control—is common for ADHDers who care deeply but struggle
