Navigating the Disconnect Between Achievement and Emotional Fulfillment

Achievements often feel tied into personal identity. AuDHD folks in particular struggle with achievement pressures, even with just regular neurodivergent demand avoidance.

A few core topics:

• The joy of supporting others' work and stepping back from being the primary creator
• Achievements often don't provide the emotions we expect, so it's meaningful to focus on making the process feel better instead
• Creativity requires boredom and rest
• And the very surprising thought I had that led to this episode...

Episodes mentioned:

• Andrew Simonet on creating supportive feedback convos as a creative
• When Dreams Feel Impossible (last week's episode)
• Autistic Stereotypes with Thomas Henley
