The Missing Layer of Care You Might Be Skipping ep 138

Описание: #ADHDWomen #NervousSystemSupport #ADHDandStress #SelfRegulation #EmotionalWellbeing
The world feels heavy right now. And for many ADHD women, survival mode has quietly taken over.
We focus on getting through the day.We try to sleep.We try to stay regulated.We tell ourselves nourishment can wait.
But what if that’s exactly the problem?
In this episode of The Self-Loved ADHD Woman’s Way, we explore a missing layer of care that often disappears during hard times — and why its absence can make everything feel harder, flatter, or disconnected.
This isn’t an episode about perfect nutrition, self-care routines, or “doing more.”
It’s a compassionate conversation about what helps you stay human when stress is high — and how even small moments of nourishment can quietly restore connection, creativity, and meaning.
✨ Part 4 of the series When the World Feels Like Too Much🎧 Especially supportive for ADHD women navigating overwhelm, stress, and uncertainty
