💪🏻 Fit at 40 • Pt. 1 • Finding Motivation One way 💪🏻 Fit at 40 • Pt. 1 • Finding Motivation

One way to motivate yourself to make a change is to make *not* changing feel so painful that staying the same feels worse than doing the work. Holding this 20 pound weight, thinking about my 10K in November, is doing it for me.

Follow along as I share all the ways I’m hacking my brain into getting fit AF at 40, whatever that ends up meaning.

Tell me in the comments, are you Team A or Team B. 

✅ Team A: sets a goal and follows through
🧠 Team B: high-achiever who still has to hack their own brain to follow through

the best time for me to clean is when i feel pisse the best time for me to clean is when i feel pissed off enough to do it. 😅

rage cleaning works because the energy has to go somewhere. but if i just start cleaning without a plan, i end up in two traps: getting distracted by my own visual to do list, or stuck in decision fatigue on stuff i don’t know what to do with.

so before i touch anything, i make a quick list. things that have a place go first, that’s the easy win. everything else waits.

nine times out of ten, twenty minutes later the mess is gone, even if the to do list pile is still sitting there.

tell me in the comments, are you a rage cleaner too?

🧠 what does growth with ADHD actually look like? 🧠 what does growth with ADHD actually look like?

for me, it’s not about never falling into old patterns. it’s about noticing when you’re caught in an ADHD trap faster and adjusting without the inner critic, the shame spiral, the drama.

I quit the 40-day yap challenge after just 1 week, and here’s why I’m okay with that:

• caught myself neglecting my wellness habits in favor of posting daily
• realized daily posting was never actually my goal
• 7 days was enough to build the muscle I wanted for making content

quick note for anyone wondering if @jessijeanhome ‘s yap challenge is worth it, I’ve done some content courses before, and she’s providing the value that she’s promised and then some. completely worth a $300 investment if you’re looking for inspiration and practical advice on yapping on social media.

i’ll continue using her prompts and learning from her, but just not pushing myself to do daily yaps anymore and mix in other formats that have been calling to me. 🫶🏻

💬 tell me in the comments: what’s a pattern you’ve noticed yourself falling into that you’re ready to adjust?

🛁 At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bat 🛁 At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bathtub Model of Stress was the mental model that *actually* made me believe that it was possible to feel like myself again.

I think my visual brain appreciates the analogy. This model gave me a clear picture of what I needed to do to get out of the vicious cycle.

🔥This is Episode 2 of the Burnout Diaries. 

Follow along if you’re feeling burned out or need more structure in your life. I share one framework per episode to help you get out burnout. 🫶🏻

For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not su For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not sure who to tell.

The honest answer is it depends on your workplace. Google has a lot of ERGs like ADHD Women’s groups, and I felt safe with my manager so I told them. But I was careful beyond that.

Because the reality is there are biases around ADHD. People are uneducated, and I’ve heard enough stories from other ADHDers at Google to know it doesn’t always go the way you hope.

Even toward the end I still sometimes worried. What if people found out and used it against me. There’s both an external bias and an internal one you’re quietly working through at the same time.

I feel comfortable sharing more openly now. Partly because I’ve done a lot of healing. And partly because I don’t have coworkers anymore 😅

I’m a safe space. DMs are always open. 🤍
