Feeling like you're stuck in survival mode? Can’t keep up with the laundry, your inbox, or... your life? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. This episode is the loving wake-up call (and gentle nudge) you didn’t know you needed.

We’re breaking down what it really means to be low-, mid-, and high-functioning with ADHD—and why wherever you are on that scale is totally OK. This is your roadmap to rise, slowly but surely.

✨ What we cover:

  1. Low vs. mid vs. high-functioning ADHD
  2. Why meds matter (but aren’t magic)
  3. The basics: water, sleep, movement, hygiene
  4. Exercise = brain boost (science says so!)
  5. Journaling to calm the chaos 🧠
  6. Emotional regulation = your secret weapon
  7. Finding your people and setting real limits
  8. Ditching people-pleasing and life-designing instead
  9. Resting on purpose (not just numbing)

 Healing ADHD is a slow, messy, totally possible journey. Just move the needle a little this week.
