Sobre este título

Host Morra Aarons-Mele is on a mission to reframe how we think about anxiety and mental health in the workplace. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. We desperately need better models for leadership and a more holistic view of mental health. Our culture tells those of us who suffer from anxiety and depression that we can’t succeed, but we tell a different story — without sugarcoating the tough stuff. We feature stories from people who’ve been there and experts who can help you thrive.

  • ADHD, Anxiety, and the Challenge of Doing What You Know You Need to Do with J Russell Ramsay
    Oct 14 2025
    ADHD isn’t just about distraction, it’s about emotion, motivation, and the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. J. Russell Ramsay, co-founder of the University of Pennsylvania’s Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program, to break down how anxiety and ADHD often overlap. We talk about how ADHD is an uncertainty generator that triggers anxiety, what “self-mistrust” really looks like, and why so many high achievers feel brilliant but inconsistent. Dr. Ramsay shares cognitive behavioral tools to boost focus, follow-through, and confidence, and the S.A.P. Action Plan to rebuild motivation when procrastination or self-doubt take over. Get ready to turn self-mistrust into self-mastery and use your anxious energy as fuel for focus and growth. In this Episode, You Will Learn 00:00 Why are ADHD and anxiety so commonly co-occurring? 05:45 How a lifetime of ADHD moments leads to self-mistrust. 12:30 Why losing external structure during the pandemic made ADHD worse. 18:00 The three-part time management system that helps ADHD brains stay focused and calm. 25:15 How to channel last minute anxiety into productive momentum. 28:00 Why does ADHD exist on a spectrum of executive function? 32:00 How ADHD insights translate into workplace efficiency and emotional management. 35:00 S.A.P. Action Plan that bridges the gap between knowing and doing. 43:00 How cognitive behavioral tools can help you manage both anxiety and ADHD. 50:45 How to manage meetings, rebuild trust, and avoid burning social capital.

In this special crossover episode, I joined Anne and Frances from Fixable to talk about the hidden link between anxiety and confidence. They answer listener questions about feeling awkward at work, leading with trust, and staying confident during rejection.

Get ready to see your anxiety as proof that you care, not proof that you can’t. In this Episode, You Will Learn 00:00 Why anxiety and confidence are deeply connected. 04:00 How do you rebuild in-person confidence after remote work? 06:30 Why awkwardness at the office is completely normal. 09:00 The “Snack Week” experiment to practice connection and confidence. 13:00 Leadership lessons for helping your team build confidence. 15:00 Why weekend praise texts might backfire. 18:00 The right way to give feedback and celebrate failure. 21:00 How to stay confident through job rejection. 25:00 Why you already have confidence inside you. 30:00 How do you turn perfectionism into progress? 32:00 One Post-it exercise to stay grounded and confident every day.
