Thriving with ADHD podcast: Why Do I Keep Starting Over? Understanding the ADHD Reset Cycle
Nada
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly starting over?
Maybe you’ve found a routine that worked, started exercising, organized your workspace, or committed to better self-care—only to have life get in the way. Before long, it feels like you’re back at square one.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
In the latest episode of Thriving with ADHD, I sit down with Breanna Perry, LMSW, therapist at Animo Sano Psychiatry, to explore why this experience is so common for people with ADHD and how we can begin to think differently about routines.

Rather than striving for perfection, this conversation encourages us to approach habits with more flexibility, self-compassion, and realistic expectations. Breanna shares practical insights into why routines break down, how to recognize what’s really getting in the way, and simple ways to make everyday habits more ADHD-friendly.
Without giving too much away, one of my favorite takeaways from this episode is that starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it simply means you’re continuing your practice.
Whether you’ve restarted the same habit five times or fifty, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged and reminds you that progress is rarely a straight line.
