Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck?

You’re not broken—you’re human. In this upbeat convo, executive function coach Liz McCarron (Excel With ADHD) breaks down the six executive functions—the brain’s “management system”—and gives simple, doable hacks to help you start, focus, and finish what matters in your business. Even if you don’t have ADHD, these tools will supercharge your follow-through.

What you’ll learn during this episode:

• The six executive functions (activation, focus, effort, emotions, memory, action) and how they show up for entrepreneurs

• The “orchestra & conductor” analogy: why your prefrontal cortex runs the show—and what throws it off

• How to spot common EF roadblocks: busy but not progressing, perfectionism, decision fatigue, fire-drill mode

• Practical brain hacks: break big tasks tiny, externalize memory (hello, Parking Lot list), set up a focus-friendly environment using senses (sound, scent, fidgets, hydration, movement)

• Why procrastination is usually an emotional response—and how to shift it

Today’s episode is a special one dedicated to those who self-identify as a "lifelong learners".... yet, still craving true transformation. Susan hosts Caroline Geraci in a fun conversation that reveals a powerful way to stop being “information hoarders” and start turning knowledge into transformation.

During the episode we dive into:

• Why reading self-help books (and stacking them on your shelf) isn’t enough to create real change

• How our brains get addicted to learning without applying—and how it sabotages progress

• The difference between gaining knowledge and integrating it into your life

• Caroline’s new Booksperience—a unique blend of book club, coaching, experiments, and tools designed to help you truly embody what you learn

• Why the first featured book, Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo, is the perfect launchpad for transformation

Caroline shares why so many entrepreneurs feel stuck in perpetual learning, how to break free from the “just one more book” trap, and how to finally make growth stick.
