Deep dives
Upcoming Podcast Launch
The host, Grace, announces her plans of launching a podcast in January 2023 that will cover various aspects of ADHD brains. She will speak to therapists, behavioral scientists, and others to learn how they work with ADHD brains instead of against them. Grace also mentions her excitement about creating a self-care resource for December, providing tips and tricks specifically for ADHD brains.
Challenges with Self-Care for ADHD
Grace shares insights from responses she received about the struggles with self-care for people with ADHD. These include having too many options and feeling overwhelmed, needing constant stimulation during self-care activities, getting exhausted and resorting to phone scrolling, having a packed schedule that leaves little time for personal care, struggling with consistency and feeling like self-care is just a chore, and feeling unworthy of self-care. Grace aims to address these challenges and provide accessible and doable steps in her upcoming self-care resource.
December is crazy season... it's like the volume is turned up too loud, and I wonder, whyyy is the busiest month of year right at the end, when we're all exhausted?? Who decided that was a good idea? Our to-do lists are overflowing and our brains are frazzled, so I'm asking my ADHD community to share their blocks towards self care, so I can make a free self care resource: I'm calling it 'nervous system nourishment'. Stay tuned for more...
