328 Did You Waste Your Summer? Here's Your 'August Panic' Survival Guide
Manage episode 498388665 series 2780195
Hey ADHDer, summer isn’t over over… and you haven’t wasted it. In this gentle, reflective episode, we’re talking about the emotional soup of August: regret over what didn’t get done, sadness that the magic is fading, dread of back-to-school chaos, and the last-minute urgency to squeeze it all in.
If you're feeling a swirl of emotions right now, this episode is your soft place to land.
We’ll:
- Reflect on what actually did happen this summer (yes, even the tiny wins!)
- Laugh together over my annual last-minute school supply scramble
- Talk about why transitions feel so hard for ADHD brains
- Look ahead to fall with intention, not panic
ADHD TIP: Your brain may want to fixate on what you didn’t do. But let’s pause and name what you did. Because it matters. You’re not behind. You’re not doing life wrong. You’re a beautifully wired human doing your best. Let’s mark this transition with grace, not guilt.
