The Busy Brain Do-Over
ADHD Systems for Busy Women
Your brain is brilliant, but sometimes it feels like it’s working against you.
You start the day with good intentions, then distractions, decisions, and everyone else’s needs pile up until you’re running on fumes and guilt.
If you’re a busy, high-capacity woman with ADHD or a busy brain that acts like it, you’re in the right place.
The Busy Brain Do-Over is your weekly reset button; a place to trade shame for strategy and chaos for calm. Hosted by therapist and educator Candace David, this show gives you simple, ADHD-friendly systems and real-life “do-overs” you can use right away to feel more focused, confident, and in control again.
Each episode helps you recover when things fall apart, reset without starting from scratch, and show up in a way that feels good, doable, and grounded.
If you’ve ever thought you’re the problem... you’re not.
You just need a do-over that works with your busy brain.

When One Small Problem Derails Your Whole Day: The Cushion Do-Over
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
020 If you’ve ever had a morning where one small thing goes wrong and suddenly the whole day feels off, this episode is for you.
Candace shares a real life series of small moments: a forgotten water bottle, missing lunch, lost AirPods, and finally driving away without her phone. None of them were huge. But together they created that familiar feeling that the entire day had already gone sideways.
In this episode, Candace explains why these moments hit harder than they should, why your nervous system reacts like something much bigger is happening, and why it has less to do with the mistake itself and more to do with how full your day already is.
You’ll also hear this week’s do-over, a reset designed to help you regain a little breathing room when things start stacking up.
