Welcome back! Join late diagnosed AuDHD cohosts Ceri and Nannon - as we explain that the podcast is now fortnightly because we checked our capacity and honoured our frickin' energy. Thank you for the episode request, Mia! This may be the juiciest and most vulnerable episode of all time, ever.
***
PART 2 // Begins at 26 mins... Bring a box of tissues. Tuck yourself up in bed or wrap yourself in a blanket on the couch with your headphones on... it might bring up some big feelings. You might want to send it to a friend at 32 minutes.
We discuss: non-linear diagnosis grief, acceptance of differences with capacity, systemic issues, shame stories, expectations, boundaries, maximising, guilt, compassion comebacks, communicating with loved ones, self-advocacy
***
PART 1 // Make a flawed worksheet with us exploring what is RECHARGING and DRAINING... It's light with a lot of laughter. We did our best to break it the heck down for you, chocolate sausages. We hope you come away with a better understanding of totally valid and relatable differences that can impact your physical, emotional, and cognitive capacity.
🔋🪫 Please tag @embraceyourchaospod if you make your own list!!
Headings: RECHARGING / DRAINING
Subheadings: ACTIVITIES, CONDITIONS, PEOPLE, EXPECTATIONS

This is a BIG EPISODE full of sweary support: 29 minutes and 53 seconds is a good spot to stop and come back to if you don't have the time for such a chonky listen! We'll be listening and laughing along at 1.5 - 1.7 speed! Haha We think you'll love the mix of serious and silly as we dive into a deep topic that makes life feel a whole lot harder and heavier when you're carrying it alone...
In this episode, we shared super vulnerably ALL of our "I should..." statements.
Here are a few of the many we mention on this episode
I should be more productive, consistent I should be organised and tidy I should be able to do x I should be better with moneyNeuronormative Standards: the false belief, assumption, and expectation that there is one right or superior way to think, feel, learn, behave, regulate, and communicate. It ignores the neurodivergent experience and existence.
You can also read Ceri's latest essay that dives further into the topic of neuronormative standards.You can find us on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourchaospod/

A big part of embracing your chaos as a neurodivergent adult? Rejecting neurotypical standards of what you "should" be doing and relearning how to live (and rest) your way. Join us next week for one of our "classic cooked chook" episodes to normalise the shame-free struggles that come with our many strengths.
Enjoy our rest-related info dumping:
how hard resting actually is for our busy busy brains the pressure we put on ourselves to just relax why rest is important to avoid the big bad burnout swapping linear routines for flexible rhythms 'scu miii, sometimes we a bit tardy because Nannon can't stand re-listening to her own voice and Cez was on day 30 of her cycle - not to mention all the tummy wummy issues. We would love your feedback on this episode!! 5 star review? OMG, that's so nice, you don't have to... but also 👀 hahahaYou can find us on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourchaospod/

A big part of embracing your chaos? Allowing yourself to make mistakes, to be imperfect, to interrupt, and to share tangents without censoring yourself. Join us next week for one of our "more serious" (kind of, not really) supportive episodes to help you build your unique version of a neurodivergent-friendly life! Watch the cooked chook trailer here!
Enjoy getting lost once again in this week's absolute chaos with:
questionable attention to detail and our surroundings impatiently ripping open boxes like feral animals estimating how long it actually takes to 'do the thing' forgetting our most important tasks AND reminding you to do your MIT too!!!You can find us on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourchaospod/

This is it. Get lost in the absolute chaos of that disney swedish chef attacked by spaghetti, signs you're probably concussed, and all the mystery tummy wummy problems.
We would love to hear about your Cooked Chook Moments this week and whatever Most Important Thing (MIT) you're planning to do before next week's episode. Ok fiiiine, it's homework. Sometimes we need a bit of homework because... adulthood.

Where have I been? Writing. This episode is an accurate reflection of my busy brain. Listen as I uncover what's been stopping me from showing up to record the podcast. Those cheeky BIG, BORING, IMPORTANT, VAGUE barriers.
Lemme know if you liked this rambly-style episode, as I coached myself and reflected on how to navigate a completely valid ADHD-related challenge with compassion!
My ADHD self-coaching tools: externalising thoughts via a journal, verbalising the challenge, breaking down the goal, lowering the bar to entry with a shorter episode, being specific by creating parameters around how to do the task, choosing 1% of action over inaction, and staying curious to find an entry point.
