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.

Season two opens with a grounded conversation about change, completion, and energy stewardship.

In this episode, Mo reflects on a year shaped by grief, creation, and subtle pressure...a Year of the Snake...where old identities finished without drama and new architecture began forming underneath.

This episode explores:

• recognizing when evolution is already happening

• letting form catch up to truth • redesigning containers that no longer fit

• and learning to be a conscious steward of your life force energy

Mo shares why parts of her business and community had to change because sustainability matters. She unpacks how ADHD nervous systems can stay loyal to meaning long past capacity and how clarity often arrives as depletion before it becomes a decision.

The episode also introduces the Word of the Year as a simple, ADHD-friendly practice for orienting energy without resolutions, pressure, or reinvention. As a signal your nervous system can trust.

This conversation is for ADHD adults who:

• feel something finishing even if nothing officially ended

• are ready to stop over-functioning in misaligned roles

• want to design their life and work with clearer energy math

• value long-game clarity over urgency

You’ll also hear about ADHD Energy Strategy Live, the monthly community hangout where these conversations continue in real time.

Nothing to fix. Nothing to force. Just an invitation to notice what’s already true and let your energy follow.

Me and you hanging out.

In this bonus, channeled conversation, I share what’s been alive for me lately. Visibility. Community. Energy hygiene. The real cost of being seen.

The tenderness and fear that can come with caring deeply, feeling deeply, and wanting connection without depletion.

We talk about ADHD energy.

About discernment. About why some things cost energy without draining us, and why others quietly leak us dry.

About what it means to honor your body’s signals instead of overriding them.

About the bravery it takes to show up anyway.

This episode is reflective, emotional, and spacious. It’s about love.

About fear.

About choosing expression even when it’s uncomfortable.

About believing in community while still protecting your nervous system.

If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting connection and needing retreat If visibility feels exciting and terrifying at the same time If you’re learning how to share your energy without abandoning yourself

You’ll feel at home here.

No fixes. No formulas. Just presence, honesty, and a reminder that your way of moving through the world is allowed.

Come sit with me.

✨ Shadow Work for Boundaries (Season One Finale)

This episode is the mirror you’ve been avoiding… and the one that finally sets you free.

If Boundary Violations That Drain You showed you how other people cross your lines, this episode shows you something deeper...the shadow side.

The part where you cross boundaries too. The quiet treason. The railroading wrapped in softness. The “I didn’t mean to but…” moments. The overwhelm that turns into entitlement. The self-abandonment hiding behind “it’s okay.”

Today we explore:

• how your ADHD nervous system betrays you before anyone else does

• the micro-second where you almost say “it’s okay”

• the truth about apologies that come with a “but”

• why your “good reasons” don’t erase your impact

• what emotional adulthood actually feels like in your body

• the soft, subtle ways YOU violate boundaries without realizing it

• the shadow mirror...seeing yourself in the very behavior that hurt you

• how to stop participating in your own quiet treason

• the one somatic cue that prevents self-abandonment

• how to repair without collapsing, railroading, or demanding comfort

• the difference between compassion and self-erasure

• the rituals that help an ADHD brain integrate boundaries for real

This episode is honest. It’s clean. It’s uncomfortable in the best way.

It’s the grown-woman upgrade your system has been craving.

Shadowwork doesn’t shame you.

It frees you. And this conversation hands you the clarity, the language, and the self-honoring energy you need to move into the next version of yourself.

Your boundaries aren’t just relational. They’re psychological. They’re somatic. They’re spiritual. And today… they become yours again.

Let’s close Season One the way a unicorn does — with truth, depth, and no more quiet treason.

This episode goes all the way into the truth behind the boundary breaches that drain you the most...the soft ones. The sweet ones. The “I didn’t mean to” ones that slowly erode your energy, your confidence, and your capacity… especially when you have an ADHD nervous system.

Inside, I break down:

• why your ADHD brain overrides your boundaries with empathy

• how soft boundary violations quietly dysregulate your nervous system

• the exact somatic cues your body gives you when a line was crossed

• why repeating the same boundary doesn’t work (neurologically or relationally)

• the emotional pattern of people who collapse when you restate a boundary

• why inconsistency is an ADHD trigger

• how self-honor rewires your brain for confidence

• scripts, logistics, and consequences that actually hold

This episode expands on the newsletter and goes deeper into ADHD brain mechanics, emotional wiring, conflict patterns, and the somatic side of boundaries.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, guilty, or confused...this will hit you in the most clarifying, self-honoring way.

Your boundaries aren’t just relational.

They’re neurological.

And when you learn to honor them, your whole system changes.

Let’s recalibrate. Let’s get your energy back.

This episode is a full-body permission slip.

We break down the physiology of energy budgeting for women with ADHD...where brain science, hormones, and nervous system wisdom collide. You’ll learn why our bodies react before our thoughts do, how dopamine drives our focus, and why honoring our hormonal rhythm is strategy.

We explore how Good Girl conditioning trained us to override our biology and how reclaiming our energy is rebellion in motion.

This is energetic sovereignty. You’ll walk away understanding your body as your oracle...not your obstacle, bb!!!

Expect somatic truth bombs, science-backed insights, and that signature mix of grounded wisdom and main-character fire that makes you want to move, breathe, and remember who the hell you are.
