Neurodivergent Women and the Self-Care Lie We All Believed

In this video I talk about gym anxiety, my health, how I'm treating self care differently, and what self care means to me. I used to think self-care meant spa days and getting my nails done, and then my blood work came back and kind of humbled me real quick. This video is me thinking out loud about what self-care actually looks like now, at 27, when my body is telling me to pay attention. You'll hear me talk about gym anxiety, walking goals I had to scale back without shame, how ADHD and breath-holding are connected, and the small food swaps (yes, oatmeal and Nutri-Grain bars count) that are actually making a difference. This isn't a fitness plan. It's an honest check-in. If you're working on building any kind of movement or self-care habit right now, drop it in the comments. I read and respond to every single one, and I'd love to hear what's actually working for you.
