You make the perfect plan. Color-coded. Time-blocked. Beautiful. Then three days in, your whole system rebels.

Or the opposite. You wake up with energy, ready to follow the spark, and suddenly you're overwhelmed because there's no structure and you don't know where to start.

What if we're not flawed for needing routine AND spontaneity? What if the constant tug-of-war between structure and flow isn't a problem to solve—it's our actual design?

In this episode:

• Why the boom-bust cycle keeps happening (and what it's actually telling you)
• The way our way-back grandmothers worked with this duality
• How to shift when you’re feeling scattered or trapped
• When the scientist shows up, when the witch does—and why both are your medicine
• Building rituals that breathe instead of suffocate

You're tracking what they're saying while also monitoring yourself. Did you interrupt again? Was that tangent too much? By the end, you're exhausted—not from the conversation, but from how you had to have it.

What if your communication style—the weaving, the jumping in, the directness, the pauses—isn't flawed? What if it's how your brain was designed to connect?

In this episode:

• How to navigate the unique communication paradox being both Autistic AND ADHD creates
• The double layer of shame: ableism plus gendered conditioning about "good girls don't interrupt"
• What changes when you find spaces that actually welcome how you talk

You finally understand why everything felt so hard. You have language for it now. But you're still overloaded, still apologizing for needing things differently, still in boom/bust cycles.

What if knowing you're AuDHD wasn't the end of the journey—but the beginning of remembering something much older?

Your sensitivity, your pattern-seeing, your inability to "just be normal"—these aren't mistakes. They're ancestral. They run through a lineage of people who lived at the edges and held medicine the village needed.

This episode reframes everything you've been taught about your brain. Not as broken. Not as something to fix. But as an inheritance with a role.

In this episode:

• Why your AuDHD traits mirror the exact patterns our way-back grandmothers carried
• What happens when you stop living a borrowed life and build one that fits your actual brain
• How ancient roles translate to modern paths (and a sneak peek into what Season 2 will explore)
• The real reason being resourced isn't selfish—and it's not about productivity

Welcome to Season 2.
