    65. Burnout Prevention for ADHD and Autistic Kids and Adults with Sandhya Menon

    In this deeply affirming and practical conversation, Johanna Badenhorst sits down with psychologist and neurodiversity advocate Sandhya Menon to talk about ADHD, autism, energy management, and what it actually means to support neurodivergent children and adults in a sustainable way. Sandhya shares her personal journey into psychology, how lived experience and trauma shaped her work, and why energy management, not just behaviour management, is a missing piece in both parenting and mental health. Together, they explore: Why burnout is so common for neurodivergent people. How energy accounting helps us understand what drains and restores us. Why accommodations are not “special treatment” but essential supports. And how shifting from “fixing” to acceptance and understanding changes everything for kids and adults alike. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, clinicians, and any neurodivergent adult who is tired of trying to survive systems that were never built for their nervous system. 🌱 👉 Sandhya’s Neuroaffirming Books and Resources like The Powerpack: https://www.onwardsandupwardspsychology.com.au/neuroaffirmingbooks 🔗

    Reflecting on 2025 as a Neurodivergent Business Owner

    In this episode, Johanna shares a key reflection from 2025 that quietly changed how she thinks about growth, alignment, and the direction of her business. She breaks down what didn’t work, what unexpectedly did, and the insight that helped her stop forcing outcomes and start making clearer decisions. The conversation touches on community, misalignment, and why many women lose clarity not because they lack strategy, but because they’ve drifted away from what originally energised them. The episode ends with a simple journaling prompt that helps listeners identify what’s worth carrying into 2026 and what can be left behind. If you’re heading into a new year wanting more clarity and less noise, this episode will give you a fresh place to start.
