Feeling overwhelmed and constantly running on empty? 😩 This solo episode dives deep into why life feels so heavy, especially for ADHD individuals healing from trauma and family scapegoating. It's time to stop "should-ing" and start honoring your true capacity!

Join Angie as she explores:

🟣 The "background hum of exhaustion" and why your nervous system is tapped out. 🧠

🟣 How ADHD brains work "10x harder" on low-interest tasks (Dr. Thomas Brown's analogy explained!). 🤯

🟣 The connection between scapegoating, people-pleasing, and overdoing it. 💔

🟣 Categorizing your capacity days (high, middle, low) and choosing regulation over productivity. ✨

🟣 The power of self-awareness: recognizing your patterns without shame. 💪

🟣 Replacing external "shoulds" with the question: "What can I realistically do today?" 🗓️

🟣 Why honoring your capacity, setting boundaries, and embracing nuance are acts of self-respect, not weakness. 💖

If you're tired of proving your worth through exhaustion, this episode is your permission to pause, adjust, and build a life that truly works for you.
