Delegating sounds simple; just hand something off and check it off your list, right? But if you have ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or a touch of perfectionism, it’s rarely that straightforward. In this episode, I’m breaking down why delegating can feel so complicated, sharing a few real-life examples, and giving you practical strategies to make it a little easier.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why delegating requires all of your executive functioning skills
  • The most common reasons it’s hard to delegate — from time blindness to people-pleasing
  • How to separate planning from action so you can actually pass things off
  • Simple check-in questions to help you decide what’s worth keeping and what to delegate
  • How to reframe delegation as an act of trust, not control
