## Resource

If you’re the person everyone can count on but when it’s you, you can’t seem to show up the same way this episode is for you. In this episode, Jess & Jeannine talk about why so many women with ADHD can be deeply reliable for others and completely unreliable to themselves. Not because you don’t care. Not because you’re not capable. But because your brain doesn’t register your needs the same way it registers everyone else’s. They get into what actually drives this pattern how urgency gets created, why external expectations take priority, and what happens when your own needs stay invisible. If you can show up for everyone else but not for yourself you’re not alone. 00:02 – Showing Up for Everyone Else (But Not Yourself) 00:56 – Why ADHD Brains Prioritize Other People 01:39 – When Your Needs Don’t Feel Urgent 01:51 – Why It Feels Like Something Is Wrong With You 03:08 – Becoming the “Dependable One” 07:00 – Burnout, Shutdown, and Ignoring Yourself 13:46 – Why You Still Can’t Show Up for Yourself
