Knowing Me Knowing You: Dr Ozgur (Oz) Yalcin with Trent McWhinney
A conversation about working with motivation instead of waiting for it.
Most adults with ADHD know what to do. The struggle is turning knowing into doing, and that gap is where ADHD lives.
In this episode of Knowing Me Knowing You, I talk with Trent McWhinney about how ADHD shows up in starting, finishing and staying with tasks, why motivation is unreliable, and how body doubling and momentum help. It is less about explaining ADHD and more about learning to move within it.
In this episode
Why motivation is unreliable in ADHD
Starting vs sustaining effort
Body doubling and external activation
Boom–bust cycles and overcommitment
Why “just be consistent” doesn’t work
Building momentum instead of waiting for it
Practical ways of getting unstuck
