About this episode

Jess and Jeannine discuss why ADHD women often fall into research spirals and the impact of analysis paralysis on decision making.

ADHD Rabbit Holes: Analysis Paralysis & Why ADHD Women Research Everything Ever look up one small thing a laptop, a product review, the life changing option for something simple and suddenly you’re hours deep into comparison charts, reviews, and browsers open as far as the eye can see? Welcome to the ADHD research rabbit hole. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine talk about why ADHD women often fall into research spirals and how curiosity can quickly turn into analysis paralysis. What starts as responsible research can become decision overwhelm. Especially when working memory, accuracy anxiety, and hyperfocus are all involved. For many ADHD women, researching everything isn’t about perfection. It’s about protection gathering enough information to feel confident we won’t miss something important. If you’ve ever lost hours to research, struggled to make a decision after too much information, or found yourself deep in an unexpected learning spiral, this conversation will probably feel familiar.
