    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.

    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 🔗

    64. 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.
