Break Up with Your Inner Bully: ADHD and the Power of Self Talk

This week, confidence speaker and mentor Megan Nicola joins Sam and Katie to explore one of the most universal yet least understood parts of ADHD- the intense, relentless inner monologue. Together they break down why so many people with ADHD live with a voice in their head that sounds more like a drill sergeant than a friend, and what it actually takes to change that lifelong habit.

She breaks down how self talk becomes self sabotage, why masking and people pleasing feed the cycle, and how to shift from shame to curiosity. With practical tools for noticing your patterns, creating emotional safety and building a kinder internal environment, Megan shows what it really takes to turn that relentless inner monologue into something supportive rather than punishing.
