   Early Warning Signs You May Be Heading Toward Burnout I Christine Howe

   In this solo episode, I walk through the early warning signs I watch for when someone may be heading toward burnout: executive functioning that starts to slip, trouble starting tasks, harder emotional regulation, a weaker working memory, less creativity, leaning on urgency to focus, and a body that is communicating distress. I also name the one that's easy to miss for ADHD visionaries: when the strategies that have always worked for you stop working. This episode matters to me because early in my counseling career I cared for brain injured patients, some in rehabilitation after a stroke linked to unmanaged stress. Burnout can happen to the best people doing things they genuinely love, not only to people doing something hard or misaligned. I close with five questions to ask yourself, and I'm clear that I'm not diagnosing burnout, acute stress, or ADHD. If burnout feels real, I encourage you to reach out to a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment. For anyone craving silence or less stimulation, I also recommend Stephen Porges' Safe and Sound Protocol, offered through Unyte. Don't let it become your story.

   Joy, Vision, Visibility, and Coercive Control, A Recap I Christine Howe & Bekah Bernard

   Christine and Bekah close out the launch series by recapping the last four conversations: Cindy Garrard on joy as a performance strategy, Zach King on being polished but parked, Jamie Maglietta on being visible without waiting to feel polished, and Joy Forrest on coercive control and the ADHD/CPTSD overlap. Christine also says what comes next: more from her on what you can do with your ADHD symptoms, and experts, but not so many at once. They end on imperfect action: reach out for a quick call, join the membership, or take a first step without having the whole plan figured out.

   They're Not Giving You a Hard Time, They're Having a Hard Time I Christine Howe & Randy Free

   Randy Free is a psychiatric counselor who helps families of kids with ADHD find peace in the middle of the storm. He started teaching Sunday school at 20, and found that he could coach a child and then send them right back to the same family situation. So he started working with the whole family. His framework, peaceful parenting, has five pillars that spell PEACE: Perspective, Ease, Attune, Connect, and Empower. It starts with one reframe: "They're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time." Randy and Christine talk about meltdowns as a distress signal, why a day of transitions leaves a child with no energy left to contain big emotions, and what changes for a family when they stop seeing defiance. They also turn to the adults who were never diagnosed, and what Randy does with EMDR for the inner child who was told they were stupid or lazy. Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:28 Who Randy was at eight 03:47 Why he works with the whole family 09:27 Perspective: a distress signal, not defiance 19:11 The five pillars: ease, attune, connect, empower 28:38 Connection without dropping expectations 37:51 Floor play, groups, and the family intensive 40:42 The cost of untreated ADHD 48:30 Late diagnosis, shame, and EMDR 52:21 Where to find Randy Listen & connect Randy Free (Coach to Resilience): Website (https://coachtoresilience.com/about/) · Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/coachtoresilience/) · LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-free-945280b/) Christine: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/christinehoweofficial) · TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@christinehoweofficial) · LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinehowe-thinktime/) Think Time®: Website (https://www.think-time.com/) · Free Training (https://www.think-time.com/free-training) · Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/thinktimeneuroplanner) · YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVjBRIpYZ4wGk4lKRFOinwQ) · TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@thinktimeneuroplanner) · LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/think-time-neuroplanner/) Hyperfocus & High Performance: Listen Here (https://www.think-time.com/podcast) This podcast is for educational purposes only and isn't a substitute for individualized medical, mental health, or professional care.
