  • Here's What Matters More Than Being Consistent
    Sep 4 2025

    Is consistency really the key to wellness — or just another myth designed to make us feel like failures?

    In this episode, I share my own story of chasing consistency and never quite getting there — and why that might not be a flaw, but a clue.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why typical wellness routines don’t work for ND minds and bodies
    • How seasonal rhythms can support a more natural, sustainable return
    • The role capitalism and patriarchy play in how we define “success”

    💡 What if every pause you take was part of your wellness practice?

  • Why Neurodivergent Systems Don't Fit Into Typical Wellness Culture
    Sep 4 2025

    When I say neurodivergent, what do I actually mean? In this episode, I break down what ND really covers, share my own laundry list of traits, and talk about why our rhythms so often clash with wellness culture.

    If you’ve ever felt like your way of moving through the world is “wrong,” this episode is for you.

    👉 In this episode:

    • What I mean when I say “neurodivergent”
    • My own ADHD, HSP, and sensory traits (the messy list!)
    • Why ND rhythms don’t fit the wellness script
    • How I’ve shifted from blame → advocacy

  • Why Are We Told We Have To Earn Rest?
    Sep 4 2025

    Rest isn’t a luxury — but wellness culture often treats it like one. For neurodivergent minds and bodies, the need for rest is even greater… and the guilt hits harder.

    👉 In this episode:

    • Why ND folks often need more rest (and why that’s not a flaw)
    • How capitalism + productivity culture make rest feel “earned”
    • A reframe: honoring your rhythms without apology
