    ADHD Routines - can't stand them, but can't live without them either.

    11/04/2026 | 12 mins.
    My ADHD routines... the ones I've fine tuned over the last few years have completely gone out the window this year. Two houses, no real routine in either of them, everything in flux — and after almost five years of coaching people through exactly this kind of chaos, I am very much in the thick of it myself.In this video I'm sharing what's actually been helping. Not the 4am cold plunge version. The real version — walks, yoga, watercolor painting, voice notes to friends. Small things that feel good in the moment and keep compounding over time.I also get into why I've stopped trusting the louder voices telling me it's not enough, and why meeting your most basic needs isn't a consolation prize — it's actually the whole strategy.If things feel a little squirrely for you right now too, this one's for you.

    Stop trying to find your purpose and do this instead

    20/03/2026 | 11 mins.
    If you've been chasing a life purpose your whole life and keep coming up empty, this video is for you.I used to be convinced that purpose was something out there waiting to be discovered. So convinced, I quit my job, lost my work visa, packed everything up, and moved to India for three months to study yoga at an ashram. I was sure that's where I'd find it.I didn't.What I found instead — years later, sitting with this realization as I move into retirement — is that purpose isn't something you find. It's something you apply. And there's a really important difference.In this video I'm sharing what a very wise yoga teacher told me that I completely dismissed at the time, why the word "purpose" might be leading us all in the wrong direction, and what to look for instead — especially as we move into this next chapter of life.This one is for anyone who's ever felt like they were the only person who never quite figured it out.

    ADHD masking - do you even know when you're doing it?

    06/03/2026 | 12 mins.
    🔗 Free Needs Assessment: https://hi.switchy.io/gw-b📖 Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults" by Carolyn McGuire: https://hi.switchy.io/sB83 There's a difference between adapting to a situation and erasing yourself to survive it. I spent most of my life masking in every area — work, friendships, family — and I didn't even realize how deep it went until retirement forced me to ask: who's actually underneath all of this?Today I'm sharing what I've learned about the difference between adapting and masking, inspired by an incredible upcoming book by Carolyn McGuire called "Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults." Plus a free needs assessment if you want to start figuring out what YOU actually need.If you've ever felt like you're performing just to get through the day — this one's for you.ADHD Resources & Coaching📩 Join my ADHD-friendly newsletter → https://hi.switchy.io/LxA1🎯 Work with me 1:1 → https://tally.so/r/mK512M📚 My ADHD productivity & planning tools → https://adhdfriendly.myshopify.com/collections/allA few favorite creator tools I use✅ FLOWN → https://hi.switchy.io/Liub✅ Notion → https://hi.switchy.io/hHSx✅ Descript → https://hi.switchy.io/RHx8✅ Flodesk → https://hi.switchy.io/UCYf✅ Shopify → https://hi.switchy.io/XKLy✅ Switchy → https://hi.switchy.io/hHSz✅ Creator MBA → https://hi.switchy.io/LsCO✅ Grow With Evelyn → https://hi.switchy.io/hHT7#ADHD #ADHDmasking #neurodivergent #unmasking #ADHDadults #mentalhealth #ADHDcoaching #selfawarenesscan

    I had no idea I was in survival mode (once again, ADHD bites me in the butt)

    27/02/2026 | 17 mins.
    Have you been feeling like everything is just... harder lately? Like you're doing all the same things you've always done, but getting a fraction of the results — and running on empty in a way that a good night's sleep just doesn't fix?You're not imagining it. For a lot of ADHD women — especially those of us navigating perimenopause or menopause — there's a perfect storm happening right now. Dropping estrogen is quietly amplifying every ADHD symptom you thought you had under control. The state of the world is chipping away at your nervous system in ways you might not even be tracking. And life just keeps piling on.The result? Capacity collapse. And survival mode.In this video I'm getting honest about where I've been lately — the things I've let slip, the moment I realized what was actually happening, and the small but powerful shifts that are helping me find my way back.This isn't about productivity hacks or doing more. It's about recognizing when your tank is empty, understanding why that happens to ADHD brains specifically, and learning how to gently — and I mean gently — nurture yourself back to a place where you can actually function and enjoy your life again.If you've been white-knuckling your way through the days, minimizing your own needs to make room for everyone else's, and wondering why nothing feels good anymore — this one's for you.What you'll hear in this video:Why dropping estrogen hits ADHD women so hard (and why it can feel like being that struggling kid again)How chronic low-grade stress quietly drains your capacity without you noticingWhy pushing through actually keeps you stuck in freeze modeThe counterintuitive approach that actually worksSmall, real things that are helping me right now

    When You Outgrow the Life You Built

    09/01/2026 | 22 mins.
    I took a break from this channel because I needed to get honest with myself.
    Over the last year, I realized I’d outgrown parts of my work, my identity, and even the version of myself I’d been performing for a long time… and I didn’t know what was next.
    In this video, I share:
    why my business and content started to feel flat

    what early retirement unexpectedly brought up for me

    the difference between creating as an entrepreneur vs creating as a creative

    how coping, performing, and adapting can blur your sense of self

    why this season feels less like falling apart and more like transformation

    This is a personal update, but it’s also for anyone who feels stuck in between who they were and who they’re becoming.
    This channel is changing.
    I’m changing.
    And I’m letting that happen out loud.
    If you’re navigating reinvention, identity shifts, burnout, or the urge to create something more honest… you’re not alone.
    Thanks for being here.
    Let’s talk about becoming in 2026.
