Attention Different | Adulting with ADHD Resolutions, Routines & Relapse Part 2 | Firesides
🧠This is the part where habits get real.
Part Two of the Winter Park Fireside Chats goes beyond setting intentions and dives into the hardest ADHD question of all:
What actually has to change for this to stick?
Around the fire, we talk openly about:
- Habits that quietly turned self-destructive
- Relapse and why it doesn’t mean failure
- Sobriety, substances, and self-compassion
- Why consistency is hard… and persistence matters more
- How boundaries (with phones, people, and ourselves) protect energy
- Letting go of shame without letting go of accountability
This episode is all about resetting without spiraling, noticing patterns without judgment, and building habits that support the life you actually want, not the one you think you should want.
✨ Highlights:
✔️ Why ADHD brains are “consistently inconsistent” and how persistence bridges the gap
✔️ How anger, compassion, and fed-up moments can spark real change
✔️ The difference between destructive habits and unmet needs
✔️ Externalizing support: accountability partners, visual cues, structure that lives outside your head
✔️ Why relapse doesn’t erase progress, it clarifies it
This conversation is raw, funny, uncomfortable, and deeply human, just like ADHD itself.
💬 If you’ve ever said “I was doing so well… and then I messed it up” — this episode is for you.
