Yesterday I tried to record this episode and I couldn’t get one word in front of the next.

But because my brain was completely and utterly fried.

This episode is about that place.
Wired but tired.

I’ve been building something that matters deeply to me these last few weeks. Up at 6am. Laptop by 6:05. Every waking moment has been consumed by this.

Caring is expensive.

This isn’t about laziness.
It’s not about discipline.
It’s about complete nervous system dysregulation.

Key takeaways:

What “wired but tired” actually feels like (and why it’s not the same as being sleepy)

Why ADHD burnout often looks like talking more, not less

The hidden cost of hyperfocus and caring deeply

“We don’t lack capability — we lack containment”

How to spot your personal burnout warning signs

Why external scaffolding is regulation, not weakness

How body doubling and accountability can stabilise your nervous system

The concept of “borrowing energy from tomorrow”

A simple way to start your own energy audit today

The reframe: energy management = nervous system management
