You can be exceptional in some areas. Strategic. Bold. Visionary.
And still struggle with basic follow-through, admin, or the everyday things that “should” be easy.

In this episode of Distracted, Not Disqualified, I sit down with Alice Draper, Founder of Hustling Writers and host of My Rejection Story, to talk about the tension of being successful on paper but struggling in real life.

We unpack high achievement, hidden deficits, the fraud voice, rejection, and the emotional weight of being brilliant in one space and inconsistent in another. We also talk about ADHD, systems, shame, and what shifts when you stop trying to be good at everything.

If you’ve ever thought, “If people saw the full picture, they’d question me,” this conversation is for you.

You can be brilliant and limited.
Strong and still struggling.
Gifted and still human.

You are not disqualified.
