“I Can Do It Myself”: Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Resist Help Until It’s Too Late

Real talk? This episode punched me in the face a little. I sat down to unpack something most of us with ADHD (especially as entrepreneurs and leaders) are deeply guilty of: trying to do it all ourselves. You know the drill—“It’s faster if I do it,” “No one can do it like I do,” or “It’s too much to explain.” Been there. Lived there. Built a freaking business there. But here’s the truth: that cycle will burn you out. Fast. In this episode, I dig into: • Why delegation feels so hard when you’re ADHD • The perfectionism + shame spiral that keeps us stuck • How urgency addiction sabotages our time • Real, doable steps to finally start letting go (without imploding) If you’re the “I’ll just do it” type—this one’s for you. No shame, just strategy. Let’s break the cycle.
