This episode also explores the impact of shame, perfectionism, masking, religious trauma, low desire, vaginismus, infidelity recovery, and the pressure many people feel to fit into rigid “sexual scripts.” If you’ve ever felt “different” in the way you experience intimacy, desire, stimulation, or connection, this conversation is a deeply validating listen. 💛 • ADHD, Autism, and sexual stimulation• The difference between desire and arousal• Sensory sensitivities and intimacy• Why planning intimacy can actually help ADHD relationships• Asexuality and low desire• Religious trauma and shame around sex• Communication and flexibility in relationships• Rebuilding intimacy after betrayal or burnout• “Good enough sex” and removing perfectionism from intimacy• Supporting neurodivergent relationships with compassion and curiosity Sexual wellbeing is not one-size-fits-all.Understanding your nervous system, sensory profile, communication needs, and relationship dynamics can help create more fulfilling and connected experiences, especially for neurodivergent individuals.

    73. The Real Reason Brilliant Neurodivergent Therapists Stay Stuck

    In this episode, Johanna dives into the behind-the-scenes realities of building offers as a neurodivergent therapist, and the real reasons so many brilliant professionals struggle with follow through. Drawing from her own experiences launching webinars, courses, podcasting programs and online groups, she shares the biggest mistakes she made early on, especially trying to do too much at once. Johanna explores the tension many therapists feel between wanting to create meaningful work beyond the therapy room… while also feeling overwhelmed, overextended and unsure where to start. Inside the episode, she covers: The biggest mistakes therapists make when launching courses or offersWhy trying to market on every platform can dilute your messageThe pressure neurodivergent therapists often place on themselves to “perfect” things before launchingHow overcomplicating offers can overwhelm both you and your audienceThe ADHD tendency to either overcommit or stay stuck refining ideas foreverWhy body doubling, accountability and support can make such a differenceThe importance of building around your actual capacity, not your idealised capacityWhy small, simple and sustainable often works better than building a giant business ecosystem overnightJohanna also reflects on what she would do differently if she was starting again, including focusing on one clear offer, one clear message and a more sustainable way of contributing. This episode is for psychologists, therapists and neurodivergent professionals who know they have more to offer… but want to do it in a way that actually works for their brain. ✨ Johanna also shares more about her upcoming 4 week intensive designed to help neurodivergent therapists shape one idea into a clear, aligned offer with support, accountability and ADHD-friendly follow through.

    72. Why So Many Neurodivergent Psychologists Feel Pulled Beyond 1:1 Therapy

    In this episode, clinical psychologist Johanna Badenhorst shares a shift that came after stepping back and rethinking how she wanted to work, and how she could better support neurodivergent clients, and neurodivergent therapists too. She speaks to four key lessons, including why it’s so important to build a way of working that actually respects your energy, rather than slowly draining it. Moving beyond a traditional therapy-only model created more space for creativity, flexibility, and ultimately more impact, without relying on a full diary. This episode explores what it looks like to expand your work, not replace it, and how to start thinking differently about the ways you can contribute beyond 1:1.

    71. Emotional regulation for ADHD and Autistics at work with Ewa

    in this episode, Johanna is joined by Ewa to explore interoception, the ability to notice and understand your body’s internal signals, and how this underpins emotional regulation, especially in work and business. When this awareness is low, it becomes much harder to recognise stress, overwhelm, or fatigue early, often leading to the ADHD push–crash cycle, overcommitting, and eventual burnout. Together, they unpack how this shows up for neurodivergent individuals in professional settings, where demands are high and expectations often don’t align with how their brain works. What can look like procrastination or inconsistency is often a nervous system that hasn’t been supported or understood. The conversation also highlights the difference between avoidance and intentional pauses, and why learning to regulate before pushing through can improve both performance and wellbeing. For many ADHDers, recovery may not look like switching off, but instead engaging in something different, creative, or energising. Ultimately, this episode brings it back to building self-awareness, setting better boundaries, and learning how to work with your brain so you can show up more sustainably in your work, business, and life. 🔗 Confident Me Academy: https://confidentmeacademy.com Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@johanna_badenhorst⁠⁠ ⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠@adhdherway⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.johannabadenhorst.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for ways to work with Johanna, her resources, programs, and upcoming events.
