139. ADHD and the Art of Never Actually Relaxing

July 13, 2025

This week we’re talking about the cruel irony of ADHD!!!
How we’ll spend days hyperfocusing on building the perfect relaxing space — gardens, patios, pergolas… you name it (haha) and then never actually sit down to enjoy it.
Because the moment we try to rest, our brains hit us with a to-do list longer than the IKEA instructions we never followed. 🧠✨

If you’ve ever hyperfixed on a task just to “earn” relaxation only to end up reorganizing the garage or starting a new DIY project instead of chilling... then this one’s for you.

The curse of the ADHD chill: we build the vibes but never vibe in them.
