Sari Swears Podcast: Why Trial Lawyers Operate Like They Have ADHD with Special Guest Coach K
35 minutes Posted Feb 20, 2026 at 10:00 am.
PM. You can't focus the way you know you should be able to. And then you beat yourself up for it. In this week's podcast, Coach K and I are talking about something that might hit closer to home than you expect: Why SO many trial lawyers operate like they have ADHD (even if they don't). We break down: 👉🏽 What actually happens when your prefrontal cortex gets hijacked 👉🏽 Why chronic stress mirrors ADHD symptoms 👉🏽 The connection between overwhelm, impulse control, and addiction 👉🏽 The three things you can start doing immediately to get your brain back online If you've ever thought: "Why can't I just get it together?" This episode is for YOU. Tune in NOW! 🎧 Love, Sari    Kevins ADHD Coach: https://lyndahoffman.com/ Quote:  "The brain fog and overwhelm that happens with ADHD — it takes so much more work just to do basic tasks. By the end of the day, you're exhausted. And there are a lot of times where you're just tapping out like, 'I can't do this anymore.' That can feed addiction or whatever coping mechanism you reach for. And it's very reminiscent of an attorney, because trial attorneys have that same brain fog, that same fatigue, that same overwhelm because of their jobs — even if they don't have ADHD."

You ever feel like your brain just… won't cooperate? 😣 You're overwhelmed. You're reactive. You're exhausted by 3:00 PM. You can't focus the way you know you should be able to. And then you beat yourself up for it.
