There are six words and phrases that ADHDers use every single day — and they're quietly making your ADHD worse. Not because they're bad words, but because every time you say them, you're reinforcing shame, overwhelm, and limitation without even realizing it.

In this episode, Coach Mande John shares the exact words she's worked hard to remove from her own vocabulary and what she's replaced them with instead. These small language shifts create less pressure, more possibility, and a lot more self-compassion.


In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why "should" keeps you focused on who you're not instead of what's possible
  • How replacing "have to" with "get to" instantly reframes any task
  • The reason Mande stopped using the word "busy" years ago
  • The one tiny word that turns "I can't" into an open door
  • What to say instead of "I don't know" to keep your brain curious
  • How to stop turning temporary feelings into permanent identity labels

ADHD is challenging enough. We don't need our language making it harder.
