269. How to Create a Summer That Doesn’t Burn You Out
Summer can be a lot when you're sensitive, neurodivergent, or simply wired to experience the world deeply. The lack of routine, constant sensory input, and the pressure to “be fun” can quickly turn what should be a carefree season into a full-blown performance.But here’s the truth: having a burnout-free summer isn't about changing your mindset or pushing through. What you really need is a softer structure—one that works with your nervous system, not against it.In this episode, I’m sharing a three-part framework to help you create anchors (not rigid routines), build in buffers for self-regulation, and identify what’s truly "bonus" based on your actual capacity. When you stop performing summer and start structuring it for your specific needs, you create a season you can truly enjoy.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: amandahess.ca/269Interested in working with me?

Welcome to the How To Love Yourself No Matter What Podcast, hosted by Amanda Hess, a Certified Trauma Aware Life & Success Coach for Neurodivergent Women. This podcast is dedicated to helping neurodivergent women change what they think is "wrong with them" into their superpower.
Amanda struggled with her neurodivergence for years without even knowing that it was neurodivergence. Maybe you can relate? Thanks to not understanding her unique brain and her unique needs, Amanda spent decades dealing with the emotional fallout of not knowing how to address her highly sensitive nervous system. This meant a long journey of mental health struggles, meds that didn't work and therapy that seemingly made her feel worse, not better. Until she found coaching, which changed everything.
Now Amanda teaches neurodivergent women how to approach their unique brains in a way that creates trust, understanding, and real results.
If you are craving a new experience with yourself and want to feel like you truly belong to yourself and to the world, this podcast is for you. Let's get started.
