  • E100: Slow Down to Thrive: ADHD, Pacing, and Rethinking Productivity Culture

    E100: Slow Down to Thrive: ADHD, Pacing, and Rethinking Productivity Culture
    Oct 6 2025

    What if slowing down was the key to better mental health, not a sign of falling behind?

    In this milestone 100th episode, Christina Crowe, RP, is joined by psychotherapist Katie Richardson to unpack one of the biggest challenges for adults with ADHD, learning how to pace life sustainably. Together, we explore why rest is not laziness, how to balance ambition with wellbeing, and why “rise and grind” culture is harming more than helping.

    From personal stories of navigating ADHD, parenting, and entrepreneurship to systemic critiques of capitalism and productivity culture, this conversation offers insight for anyone craving a healthier rhythm of life. Whether you’re neurodivergent, self-employed, or simply exhausted by the pressure to do more, this episode will help you reclaim balance, energy, and joy.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why adults with ADHD struggle to slow down, even after diagnosis and treatment.

    • How pacing, buffer time, and concepts like “good nothing time” (thanks Simon!) protect mental health.

    • The hidden costs of overcommitment in work and family life.

    • How different generations (Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) are reshaping the meaning of work and wellbeing.

    • Practical strategies for setting boundaries, preventing burnout, and creating space for what matters most.

    • How to prepare for life transitions (career changes, parenthood, aging) that can make ADHD symptoms resurface.
