Why is making a decision sometimes the hardest thing in the world? For those with ADHD, the labyrinth of choices can feel impossibly complex. Each twist and turn demands attention and energy—resources that are already stretched thin. This week Nikki and Pete peel back the layers of decision-making through the ADHD lens, unraveling why such a seemingly simple act can feel like scaling a mountain.
What happens when life throws you off course? The meeting runs late, the pipes freeze, or the day crumbles before it even begins. For most people, problem-solving is instinctive. For those with ADHD, however, it’s a far more complex process—one filled with creativity, frustration, and unpredictability.
Tony and Cassi Bellezza founded Anthony’s Way—The Road to Kindness to honor their son Anthony, who lived with ADHD and inspired others through his compassion. The organization helps children and teens with ADHD thrive by providing resources, mentorship, and understanding. For the Bellezzas, Anthony’s legacy is a reminder that ADHD isn’t a limitation—it’s a different path, best navigated with kindness.
