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?

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

Neurotypical wellness culture loves to tell us what’s wrong with us. But that story is toxic for our neurodivergent minds and bodies.

In this episode, I share why the pressure to “fix yourself” is so exhausting, and how tuning in (and tuning out the noise) helps us reclaim what healing can really look like.

👉 In this episode:

• Why “fix yourself” messaging is harmful and toxic
• How ND people experience the noise even louder
• A reframe: listening to our bodies instead of forcing change
