Hello, stunning tiny little ND brains! 🫠✨

This week we are getting raw and realz 👀 (yes, even more than usual)! We discuss burn out, Tara had a great LUHK-SA and Grace has been the mayor of phlegmville while turning 36 "yay!" *said phlegmilly*

💌 In this week’s dilemma a divine listener, who just submitted a research paper after years of hard work struggles to actually celebrate. Instead of feeling proud, their mind spirals with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure of what’s next.

We discuss:

Why it’s hard to feel happy after a big win - the dopamine link
How self-judgment and exhaustion steals the joy
Book the celebration for later, no pressure now
Why milestones look different for ADHD brains

🤌 RECS (we're doing two each):

Tara's recs - The micellar water baby wipe hack AND snake plants
Grace's recs - an update on Cancer Council's BB Cream and an EVEN BETTER formulation for oily girlies. ALSO The Autistic Burnout Workbook by Dr Megan Anna Neff

🫠 IREGGY SEGGY:
We read you the most unhinged health hacks that we could find on the internet -steel yourself to be both frightened and intrigued. 👻🕵️‍♀️

Don’t RSD even if you think you’re allowed to indulge in a cheeky little RSD while we're on break, you’re not.

We will be BACK in your little ND ears on THURSDAY THE 14TH OF AUGUST -Subscribe or you might never hear these dulcet* tones again 😱

Also join our Patreon (because cute!) and that's where we'll be dropping weekly episodes while we're on our break.

Sending allll alll alll the love!
Your ADHD Besties Tara & Grace 💕

*dulcet tones may be interpreted by some as 'screechy'.
