Decision Paralysis & the ND Brain: 6 Rules to Take Back Control

The average person makes around 35,000 decisions a day, but for
neurodivergent minds, even the smallest choices can feel
overwhelming, often leading to anxiety and decision paralysis.


This week we’re joined by Adrienne Adhami, podcaster, business
advisor, keynote speaker, and author of Decisions That
Matter. Adrienne has helped global giants like Microsoft,
Spotify, and Range Rover empower their teams to make intentional,
confident decisions in a world full of noise and distractions.


In this chat with Ben, Adrienne shares her six golden rules for
cutting through overwhelm. Packed with real-life examples and
actionable strategies to overcome procrastination, reclaim their
mental energy, and reduce decision fatigue, so you can take back
control of your time and focus on what really matters.
