030 Doing Your Best

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/12/28

AuDHD folks have a complicated relationship with the idea of doing our best, because of our spiky profiles and cyclical energy. Also, we often seem to be trying harder than the people around us...whether or not that results in getting anywhere.There are many reasons that the brain might "hit a wall" and be unable to continue.Defining our best as "a bit better than average" is one approach (though I haven't convinced my own brain of that one yet).Some potential questions for reflection:What does

029 Becoming Your Next Self

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/12/22

Becoming the next version of ourself isn't about forcing. It's about that natural process of embodiment when suddenly, this is who we are now. Usually by the time we've fully embodied something, it kind of feels like we've always been this way.It's a difficult process to describe from inside it... but understanding the process you're in can be a relief!(And first 3.5 minutes are talking about the ADHD meds shortage and letting my brain do things that are easier for it)New Year: Map Your Intention

Bonus workshop from Like Your Brain (with client speaking cut out for privacy) on setting a personal intention or three for the new year that feels motivating and interesting to you. Of course you can use this method for any area of your life such as career. Traditional goal-setting starts with where you want to "arrive." We start with how you want to FEEL, and what helps you feel that way.The reason I'm focusing on feelings and personal aims is that we often put our best energy into professional

Mini: If You're Struggling

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/12/13

If you're struggling, whether that's just a bad day, a longer stretch, or that very relatable feeling that all of life has been irredeemably difficult and that no one understands or can help... I just wanted to take a moment to validate and make space for those feelings.You're not alone... and at the same time we can end up feeling very alone. If you need to numb out from these feelings, it can help to acknowledge that it feels unbearable and that you're choosing temporary escape. We all do it and

027 Rituals to Replace Habits

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/12/08

Neurodivergent folks may not experience habits in the way they're traditionally talked about. Specifically, they may never become truly "background," and instead we remain in the active decision-making mode.To that end, I've personally found it much more helpful to create rituals rather than habits. It explicitly acknowledges that this is an active process as opposed to a background habit, which is more honest about how our brains work. It also triggers my PDA (demand avoidance) far less!This

022 The Trouble With Because

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/11/03

Diagnoses and labels can be really helpful to explain our experiences. We finally have a "because" to explain why we do the things we do! And also... that same "because" sometimes starts to feel like it's holding us back. It's possible to acknowledge limitations while also leaving space for growth and inevitable change.

Poverty is not your fault. Debt is not your fault. And you don't have to find solutions alone!This episode talks about the systemic side, the AuDHD-specific elements such as impulsive shopping, and how screwed up debt is historically and currently. Note: This episode is quite USA-centric. While there are mentions of ways this might affect people in other countries, growing up here is my main context on this topic.Resources mentioned: Simone Seol's episode Debunking the idea of a "Scarcity

018 Please Stop Optimizing

AuDHD Flourishing ·

2023/10/06

Optimizing (and the related bio-hacking) are really popular... but why? Who are we doing this for, and who really benefits? This episode spans the last several years of my life starting with my first coaching certification that was literally called Optimize at the time. There were some positive benefits such as better sleep, which on the whole improved my mood. But in the long run, there's a potential negative side to the advice to optimize. And at the same time, many AuDHD people will enjoy

Feelings, emotions, sensations in the body... We've all received confusing messages around what they mean and what they are. And many autistic folks have trouble connecting to their emotions and related body sensations.They're also important and potentially useful messages from our body as it attempts to stay safe.This episode covers one compelling theory of what feelings (sensations and emotions) are, as well as a variety of tools to get through the day no matter where you are in your journey.Also,

Michael is an AuDHD content creator (with a huge audience) and coach who runs a free AuDHD peer support group.
