About this listen

The holidays are supposed to be joyful… so why do they leave you overstimulated, exhausted, and quietly unraveling by mid-December?


If you live with ADHD, the holidays can feel like a nonstop assault on your nervous system—noise, expectations, schedules blown to bits, emotional landmines, and a constant pressure to “show up happy.” This episode is a reminder that peace isn’t something you earn by doing more—it’s something you give yourself permission to protect.


We’re talking about what grace actually looks like during the holidays (hint: it’s not perfection), how to stop shaming yourself for burnout, and practical ways to create calm when your brain is running a thousand tabs at once. We’ll unpack why traditional holiday expectations clash with the ADHD nervous system, and how to reclaim the season without burning yourself to the ground.


This episode is for the parent who’s overwhelmed, the entrepreneur who’s tired of pushing, and the person who needs someone to say: you’re not failing—you’re human.


Slow down. Breathe. You’re allowed to choose peace, even now.
