Being Multi-Passionate Isn’t the Problem, This Is…
How ADHD brains, big ideas, and content creation can actually work together.

If you’ve ever been told to “just pick one thing,” felt guilty for changing your mind, or wondered why you can’t stay focused on one niche—this episode is for you.

I was a full-grown adult in the military when I found out I had ADHD. Before that, I thought I was just lazy or all over the place. Turns out, I’m just multi-passionate. I get excited about a lot of things and that’s not a problem.

The real issue? Trying to force ourselves into one box when we were never meant to live in one.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it really means to be multi-passionate

• Why ADHD brains need freedom, not more pressure

• The truth about “niching down” and why it doesn’t work for everyone

• My favorite ADHD content creation hacks

• How to pivot without feeling like a failure

  
  

If you’re a content creator, entrepreneur, or just someone with a creative brain and too many ideas—this is your reminder: you’re not behind, and you’re not broken.

We’ve all had those days; smiling, nodding, doing all the “right” things on the outside, while inside we’re just trying to keep it together.

In this episode, I open up about what people don’t see behind the smile. The grief. The exhaustion. The late-night crying after content creation. The parenting breakdowns. The pressure to be the strong one. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s something so many of us carry in silence.

This isn’t about pretending to be okay. It’s about honoring the truth: that strength isn’t always loud, and sometimes the bravest thing we do is just show up.

We’ll also talk about what it means to be layered and how you can be joyful and grieving, healing and hurting, all at once. And I’ll share how navigating Oliver’s loss shifted the way I approach content, community, and honesty.

If your strength feels like survival right now, I see you. You’re not alone...and you don’t have to explain what people never bothered to ask about in the first place.
