ADHD Burnout: When My Body Forced Me to Stop
This week, my ADHD body said “no more.”
I woke up with neck pain, brain fog, and zero energy—and I realized I had hit the wall of burnout. For years, I’ve pushed, achieved, and over-functioned, but this time my body forced me to stop.
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what that day looked like, the wake-up call it gave me, and the surprising lessons I’m learning about slowing down, rest, and realignment. ADHD burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s your body sending you a message. And if you ignore it, it only gets louder.
We’ll talk about:
The moment my body forced me to stop and why it mattered
How over-functioning and perfectionism set ADHD women up for burnout
The difference between stress, overwhelm, and true burnout
Why rest is not optional, but necessary regulation
How reconnecting with my Divine Feminine energy is changing how I approach my business and my life
If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing rest or wondered why your energy vanishes when you need it most, this episode is for you. Burnout isn’t failure—it’s the first step toward a more aligned and sustainable way of living.
