In this episode of ADHD Energy Strategy, we gather for a live community conversation about energy, discernment, and choosing a Word of the Year in a way that actually works for ADHD nervous systems.

Instead of resolutions or pressure-based goals, this conversation explores orientation.

How to use a single word as an energetic anchor.

How to notice what’s costing you energy and what’s quietly restoring it.

And how to make decisions that honor your capacity rather than override it.

You’ll hear real reflections from ADHD adults navigating career transitions, burnout recovery, people-pleasing patterns, rest, identity shifts, and the slow work of building a life that feels sustainable and true.

Some people speak.

Some people listen.

The focus is clarity, nervous system honesty, and long-game energy strategy.

If you’re an ADHD adult who’s tired of forcing motivation and ready to relate to your life through energy instead of self-judgment, this episode will meet you there.

ADHD Energy Strategy

What happens when someone wants your attention and you don’t have it?

In this episode, we talk about social energy, nervous system capacity, and the pressure to be “nice” when your body is asking for privacy.

For ADHD and neurodivergent adults, social capacity isn’t consistent. Some days we’re open and relational. Other days we’re inward and conserving. But when we’ve been conditioned to manage other people’s comfort, those quieter days can come with shame, obligation, and self doubt.

We explore:

• Why you don’t owe casual people explanations for your energy

• The difference between kindness and self abandonment

• How boundary violations change the nervous system’s response

• When silence, neutrality, or “nothing” is actually the most honest response

• What real attunement feels like and why it’s rare but possible

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of performing politeness at the expense of their own energy and wants permission to honor their capacity without apology.

You’re allowed to exist in public without performing accessibility.

What happens when the same ADHD patterns keep showing up?

Freeze. Overwhelm. Getting stuck. Needing to dump thoughts again and again.

In this episode, Mo unpacks why repetition isn’t failure and why trying to make discomfort “go away” often keeps people stuck. This is a conversation about the difference between chasing relief and building real capacity, for ADHDers and the people who support them.

If you’ve ever wondered why the work feels repetitive, or worried you’re doing it wrong, this episode offers a grounding reframe.
