🦄 Hey Unicorn, Ever feel like reality hits your nervous system abruptly...and you tend to meet it in one of two familiar ways? burning with intensity or burning up trying to hold it I know it's not just me. The face crackery of it all... Emotion is energy in motion. What shapes impact is where that motion is directed. One of my favorite songs by Peachkka repeats this lyric... "I give grace to my mind cause she's always knowing. And honor my emotions and I keep them flowing." It's on loop in...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, What do ADHD Energy Strategy™... + a sold out improv show... + my first wedding anniversary... + the news breaking about U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran have in common? I'll tell ya... Saturday was February 28. Seventeen years ago that was the date of my first wedding. 2009. Wow...such a completely different life. This year? I was onstage doing improv comedy. Troupe's name? Ungrounded. A sold out show. The whole thing was…objectively chaotic. Someone broke a damn table! Glass...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, Last night's ADHD Energy Strategy LIVE playback is available on YouTube and ALL Podcast Platforms. Apple Spotify This hangout, we chatted about pivots. Catalysts...and where reality changes the math. As always in ADHD Energy Strategy LIVE, we stayed inside the core lens: What costs energy? What credits energy? And how to build margin in your life right now. Pivots are not just life updates. They are legit energy events. They often change capacity...identity and what “normal”...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, I’m emailing you in my robe from a hotel in Miami. Usually my dream work vibes...buuuuuut I was supposed to be in Mexico. And we were just in Louisiana for Mardi Gras. This week has been fun! And it has demanded pivots. Which feels on brand because I’ve been trying to write to you about catalysts and pivots...for three days. 🤣 And legit every time I think I have space...a catalyst for change is introduced. 😅 Nothing tests patience or energy literacy like a deviation from the...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, I've been feeling activated lately. And because ADHD Energy Budgeting involves honoring my feelings,I paid attention to my internal cues... I went inward when the external noise felt overwhelming. And here's what really matters, especially for ADHDers. We are living in an attention economy. This is Structural... It's how systems make money. When millions of nervous systems lock onto the same event at the same time, money moves. And when activation is synchronized at scale,...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, The other day, I was collaborating with someone on a project...and I became shooketh! Shooketh to the core. RSD rang loudly...like my head was inside a big ass bell. It went down like this... While I was presenting my work and sharing progress, I pointed out missing data. I said, "I don't know this information here. Can you get that for me? Only you have access to it. I do not." They reacted sharply. Frustrated. A little explosive. They felt like I should have known that...

Mrs. Frizzle

🦄 Hey Unicorn, ADHD nervous systems are highly sensitive to stakes. And expression can feel dangerous. Creation can feel paiiiiinful! When something starts to carry: identity weight belonging weight visibility risk emotional consequence Executive function drops. Freeze rises.Avoidance looks like “digging heels in.” It's a threat response. Your brain isn’t saying “I can’t.” It’s saying “This costs too much energy to move safely.” That's information. If you are stuck, avoiding...or digging your...

freeze is an energy state

🦄 Hey Unicorn, Freezing. It doesn't mean you're stuck. But it totally feels like that, right?! And you've practiced STUCK as the label for what's happening...but it's wrong. The moment where you think: What the heck is wrong with me? Why is this STILL happening? Freeze. Overwhelm. Getting stuck. And it can EVEN be the same themes...again and again. The frustration of that can feel dull or sometimes...sharp AF! Today, we are giving you legit tools + frames for the next time you experience...

🦄 Hey Unicorn, Remember in December when I said things were consolidating? That I was listening more closely...? That what I was building was evolving...getting clearer... In my last letter, I talked about the Year of the Snake and what it actually asks of us...shedding what’s no longer true. This is the moment you find out how I put ALL that shedding energy to use. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 ANNOUNCING... ✨ ADHD Energy Strategy ✨ That’s what this work is called now. 🎉 And the method underneath it...is Energy...
