In this episode of the More Than ADHD™ Podcast, we dive into the concept of shame and its impact on confidence, especially for adults with ADHD. I sit down with Coach Evelyn Vieira of Cycle Breaker Parenting to unpack why ADHD shame spirals hit so hard and what we can do to stop them. Evelyn shares three practical strategies you can start using today to quiet negative self talk, break cycles of self sabotage, and boost your resilience.

We also explore how these same tools apply in both family life and the workplace, giving you language and techniques to respond with curiosity, neutrality, and facts instead of judgment and assumptions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of separating shame from identity and learning to build confidence step by step without falling into toxic positivity.
