The Push-Pull of ADHD and Autism: Stretching Without Breaking In this candid conversation, Patricia Young (she/her) and B Lourenco (she/her) dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. They explore the push-pull between self-accommodation and stretching ourselves, how shame and internalized ableism impact daily life, and what it means to create realistic support systems at home, in relationships, and in the workplace. Expect raw honesty, relatable stories, and practical insights for navigating neurodivergent life. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The ongoing "driver's seat battle" between ADHD and autism. · The push-pull between making accommodations and stretching ourselves beyond comfort. · Parenting a neurodivergent young adult while balancing when to push and when to allow rest. · Task initiation struggles — from making banana bread to cooking meals. · Body doubling as a powerful tool to reduce shame and spark motivation. · The "crisper/rotter" effect — guilt over wasted food and executive dysfunction. · Financial and practical impacts of task initiation challenges. · How privilege plays into having options like prepared or frozen meals when cooking feels impossible. · The cost of pushing through fatigue and flares with conditions like POTS and MCAS. · "Future me" thinking — and the difficulties neurodivergent folks have with impermanence. · Shame as the "ice cream scoop" on top of disability struggles. · Why diagnosis matters: language helps reduce shame and prevent repeating harmful patterns. · How powerlessness, and an attempt to gain autonomy can show up in small, reactive choices (like leaving a Facebook group). · Sensory sensitivities in family systems — how lack of accommodations can lead to dysfunction. · Practical accommodations for noise-sensitive parents and their kids. · Workplace challenges: 40-hour weeks, return-to-office pressures, and capitalism's rigidity. · Creative problem-solving in disabled and neurodivergent communities. · The deep fear of being uncared for and alone if we can't keep up. · Hyper-independence and isolation in the ADHD/autistic community. · Internalized ableism and the "shoulds" that drive shame and burnout. · Neurodivergence as a dynamic disability — what's possible one day isn't always possible the next. · Radical acceptance as a path toward reducing judgment and finding relief. SOUND BITES · "It begs the question of, okay, is that okay? Can we just say that's how it is?" – B Lourenco · "Instead of putting our energy into addressing the gap, folks will take the great divide and then put a scoop of shame on top of it." – B Lourenco · "All the terrible things that we tell ourselves… if I didn't have that awareness, I'd just keep repeating these patterns." – Patricia Young · "In order to truly accommodate ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's as hard as it is and that we're as disabled as we are." – B Lourenco · "Sometimes I have to ask myself, what if what you're going through is exactly where you need to be?" – Patricia Young SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Neurodivergence: A Personal Journey 02:59 Understanding Accommodations: Balancing Needs and Expectations 05:48 The Push-Pull of Task Initiation and Self-Care 08:33 Shame and Support: The Role of Community 11:35 The Impact of Environment on Neurodivergent Individuals 14:26 Workplace Challenges: The Struggle for Accommodations 17:16 Building Bridges: Community and Creative Solutions 20:00 Radical Acceptance: Embracing Our Reality 22:48 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Identity 25:42 The Dynamic Nature of Neurodivergence 29:02 Finding Joy in the Present Moment 31:47 The Bigger Picture: Building a Better Future 34:47 Conclusion: Resources and Future Endeavors PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com PODCAST GUEST B Lourenco, MA, LMHC (she/her) is a licensed mental health counselor, educator, advocate, and activist. B has been working in community support for nearly 20 years and is committed to social change on all system levels. Seeing mental health advocacy as a way to serve the community, she earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology, with a Systems Emphasis, in 2015 and began her private practice, B Lourenco Therapy in 2017. B has also worked in the public school system, providing support to students with behavioral issues that made attending school challenging for them. Highly trained in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), B became a district-wide expert in supporting neurodivergent students. It was during this work that she began to be critical of the medical models of support for neurodivergence, including ABA. Making the shift from the medical to the Neurodiversity-affirming model has allowed her to finally identify her own neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD. Combining her lived experience of neurodivergence, along with years of anti-oppression work, B is passionate about helping others untangle themselves from harmful practices and align themselves with those that instead support marginalized communities. In addition to CE events for healthcare providers, she has also been a speaker on panels and podcasts, and also facilitates community based workshops. https://www.blourencotherapy.com LINKS Cascadia Training: https://cascadia-training.com Imani Barbarin—crutches_and_spice IG https://www.instagram.com/crutches_and_spice/ To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

I walk you through how I am structuring the rest of this year and heading into twenty twenty six so you can build consistency without burning yourself out.I have decided that I am not publishing new stuff on Saturdays and Sundays. I am modeling what I tell you to do, which is protect your energy, slow down, and stop letting content or fitness take over your entire life. You can still work toward goals. You can still show up. But you do not have to grind every second to prove that you care.I get into how I am organizing the year in phases. Each phase has its own purpose. First you ramp up. You build momentum. You build belief. You start moving at a calm, deliberate pace. You are not sprinting. You are getting your bearings and building confidence. People will look at what you are doing and think you are going all out, but in your head you are steady, clear, and not in a tug of war.Then you dial it in. Not zero to sixty. More like forty five to sixty. You hold that calm headspace but you tighten your focus and stack habits. You build consistency as an actual skill. You choose to trust yourself. You build momentum that feels sustainable, not chaotic. After that, you scale back a bit. You settle back into something closer to that early ramp up pace. You are still doing the work, but you are not redlining. Then you wind down. I am huge on using the end of the year as a real wind down phase, not just a long weekend. We are going to start talking about that November first. The wind down is built in on purpose so you stop repeating the cycle of go hard, burn out, disappear, restart, repeat.This is a system to replace the fitness message you have been handed your whole life. The message that says push harder, push harder, push harder, and if you cannot keep up it is your fault. I am saying no to that. You do not have to live at all gas no brakes. Most people who run that way end up off to the side anyway, trying to recover, then jumping right back into the same pattern. I want you on a steady path instead of stuck in that loop.I also share what this looks like in my own training right now. I have dealt with foot issues and a walking boot since last year. I am still doing the work. I tell you how many workouts I logged month by month even while limited, because this is important. Consistency is not about perfect workouts in perfect conditions. Consistency is doing what you can with the body you have today. Stretching counts. Rehab counts. Short sessions count. Forty one workouts in June. Eighty six in July including rehab. Sixty four in August. Fifty four in September, including when I was still in the boot. Fifty nine in October. That is not hype. That is systems, pacing, and refusing to quit on myself.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

There are some seasons we go through that truly feel like we're being stretched beyond what we can handle. Whether its exciting moves of God where doors are opening all at once -doors you once prayed to open but now it feels like time is fleeting. Or it's constant transitions where you can't seem to catch a moment to breath and you're wondering when it'll slow down. Or a workload and family life that can feel impossible to juggle as everything seems to be pressing for your time. The stretching seasons can truly teach us so much IF we can slow down long enough to learn the lessons God has for us in them. In this episode I discuss 10 lessons I've learned from the stretching seasons I've been in that I hope can save you time and overwhelm. Lessons mentors have walked me through even in this season. Remember the enemy would love it if you quit during the stretching seasons, but don't. You can adjust, you can pivot, you can even slow down but just don't give up. God is with you!Worship The Blessing

Dynamic stretching is an essential warm-up tool, priming muscles and joints for movement by improving mobility, increasing blood flow, and preparing the body for safer, more effective exerciseAgeless Workout trainers Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explain how warming up reduces injury risk - especially for older adults - while enhancing range of motion and exercise quality. In conversation with Peter Bowes, they highlight the benefits of directional movement and why aging bodies often need longer, more deliberate warm-ups.They note that short daily bouts of dynamic movement help maintain balance, gait, and functional mobility, countering stiffness caused by sedentary routines. Their core message: a well-structured warm-up primes both body and mind, improving performance and protecting long-term health.Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or modifying any fitness program.This is the latest in our 20-part series, Move for Life. -----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

"Stretching feels unnatural—but it's where God enlarges capacity." Stretching is never comfortable—it feels unnatural, sometimes painful—but it's the very thing that builds our strength. In Isaiah 54, God says, “Enlarge the place of your tent and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out.” In the same way, God often calls us to stretch before He strengthens us.

Inflation's a beast, and most folks are out there pretending it's tame. The government massages the numbers, leaves out the essentials, and tells us it's “only 2 percent.” Meanwhile, everything from bread to bolts costs more, and your paycheck doesn't go as far. If you're not getting raises that match inflation, you're losing money every year—and that's before taxes bite.

Weighted stretching combines mobility and strength training, making your joints more stable and flexible at the same time Even very light weights, such as 1 to 2 pounds, are enough to activate stabilizing muscles and expand your range of motion Holding stretches under load for 20 to 30 seconds creates lasting improvements in flexibility and muscle growth Weighted stretching can be done with everyday items like soup cans or books, making it easy to start at home without special equipment Progressing from simple moves to advanced drills like Turkish get-ups keeps your body challenged and builds confidence in daily movement
PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT: Jonathan Schanzer OF FDD identifies two powers affecting the end of the Gaza war: wounded Iran, whose Shiite crescent stretching toward Israel is fading, and ambitious Ankara, displaying successful neo-Ottoman aspirations. Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, commanding a large military, has vowed to raise a pan-Islamic army against Israel. Amidst international pressure and UN actions, Israel remains the main, unwavering regional power. 1914 PALESTINE
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Stefanie Carlstedt—Human Design strategist and certified high-performance coach—to unpack how founders and teams can ditch one-size-fits-all playbooks and lead by design, not default. We cover what Human Design is (and isn't), how it differs from personality questionnaires, practical ways to reduce burnout by aligning work with energy type, and simple experiments you can try this week to validate fit—before overhauling your business. If you've been hustling hard yet feeling misaligned, this episode shows a clear path to clarity, confidence, and sustainable performance. About the guest : Stefanie Carlstedt is a Human Design strategist for entrepreneurs and teams and a certified high-performance coach. After a decade of building a six-figure business that left her burned out, grief and reflection led her to Human Design. She now helps leaders align strategy with their unique energetic blueprint to create profitability without self-betrayal. Key takeaways: Burnout = misalignment, not workload. If tasks match your design, you can do more with less drag; if they don't, even “light” work drains you. Human Design vs. personality tests: Unlike self-reported quizzes shaped by conditioning, Human Design uses birth data to map decision-making and energetic patterns you can operationalize in business. Energy types, different rules: e.g., Projectors thrive guiding 2–4 focused hours, not grinding 9–5; forcing hustle creates bitterness and stalls growth. Decision authority is the lever: Build systems that let you say “no” to misfit tactics (viral hacks, trend chasing) and “yes” to strategies that feel clean and energizing. Team advantage: Leaders who know their own and their team's designs assign roles smarter, reduce conflict, and increase throughput because everyone works in their natural lane. Comfort zone vs. self-betrayal: Stretching in alignment leaves you energized; misaligned stretching leaves resentment and poor sleep—use your body's feedback. Start small this week: Pull your free chart, listen to a short primer, and try one aligned action (posting, prospecting, or scheduling) per your design—then measure energy and results. Identity shift: Knowing your design normalizes being “wired differently,” cutting comparison, increasing self-trust, and improving relationships at work and home.

Nonprofits can't afford to ignore mental wellness. Stretching employees too thin leads to burnout, turnover, and lost donor trust—costs that ripple across mission, fundraising, and community impact. Leaders who invest in staff well-being not only do the right thing but also protect retention, efficiency, and donor relationships. From normalizing mental health conversations to flexible workspaces and empathetic leadership, the path is clear: taking care of your team is both a moral and strategic imperative.

Unlocking Flexibility: How Breath, Brain, and Emotions Shape Effective Stretching with Butch Phelps, LMTWhat if the biggest barrier to flexibility isn't your muscles — but your brain?Research shows that traditional static stretching can actually trigger your nervous system to tighten, making it harder—not easier—to release tension.In this first installment of our two-part series, we sit down with Butch Phelps, LMT, creator of the Stretch and Release Technique and author of the award-winning book Stretch and Release. With more than 20 years of experience studying muscle science, Butch reveals why so much of what we were taught about stretching doesn't hold up—and how shifting to a neurofascial approach can transform outcomes for your patients.
We're back and life has been life-ing! After a short break, we're catching you up on everything: corporate speaking gigs, midlife pivots, travel highs, tough conversations, and yes... periods on white chairs (because, of course). This episode is all about what it means to reimagine your life, again and again, and how curiosity, discomfort, and owning your power can shift everything. From the stage in LA to bold decisions at home, we're sharing behind-the-scenes stories, hard-earned lessons, and the joy (and chaos) of staying powerful in a world that keeps changing. Resources mentioned: ROAR Forward Website ROAR Forward Feature: Meet a Re-Imagineer - Liz Hilliard Men's Health: Over 40? These 7 Stability Moves Will Help You Stay Injury-Free in the Gym Women's Health Magazine: Boost Strength On Your Daily Walk By Incorporating These Simple Moves Some key takeaways from this episode include: You don't reimagine your life just once, you do it over and over. Life shifts. We grow. Give yourself permission to let go, begin again, and become someone new. Stretching into discomfort is where real growth begins. Liz's speaking event pushed her outside her comfort zone… and she nailed it. The process was messy, brave, and exactly the kind of stretch that births growth. When the world feels divided, don't shut down, stay open. Lead with your eyes and heart wide open. Anger often masks pain. Compassion starts with curiosity. Lead with your heart and speak with clarity.

At age 55, Belgian runner Hilde Dosogne set out to break boundaries — and did just that. In 2024, she ran 366 marathons in 366 days, earning her the title of Guinness World Record holder for most consecutive marathons in a year. What makes Hilde's journey so extraordinary is not just the distance she covered, but the relentless dedication she showed while working part-time and managing her daily life with laser-focused discipline. Known as Marathon Woman 366, Hilde didn't grow up in a sporty family. In fact, she didn't seriously take up running until her 40s. But once she did, she never looked back — moving from her first marathon with her husband in 2013 to ultra events like the Marathon des Sables and the legendary Spartathlon in Greece. Inspired by endurance runner Candice Burt, who ran an ultra a day, Hilde set a goal that was bold yet (just) manageable alongside her career — a marathon every single day for an entire year. From battling injuries and illness, to running through Belgian storms and even dislocating a finger mid-run, Hilde's story is one of mental toughness, resilience, and unwavering self-belief. In this episode, Hilde shares: Why she decided to take on this incredible challenge How she structured her days and managed recovery The highs and lows of running every single day The mental strategies that helped her keep going Her thoughts on aging, performance, and redefining what's possible at 55 The deep sense of joy and freedom she finds in running Hilde's story is a reminder that it's never too late to start something extraordinary — and that the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves.

This week's live Q&A was packed with breakthroughs, tough love, and exciting news — including the official reveal of Butt Camp 3.0! Here's what we covered: Why I decided to bring back Butt Camp outside the app (and how it's already selling like crazy with no ads or emails). The truth about training to failure: why full range beats rushing reps, and how going “beyond failure” is where the real growth happens. Why light dumbbells and booty bands are all you need for home workouts that actually work. Fasted cardio, creatine, and supplement myths — why small details don't matter, but consistency does. Stretching secrets: why I don't stretch, and how full range training keeps your body mobile. The simple, print-friendly meal plans for Butt Camp 3.0 (with macros for every ingredient). Managing expectations: effort vs results in an 8-week challenge, and why winners always follow the plan 100%. How to modify workouts for injuries and still get amazing results. The program structure: 3 glute days, 2 upper body days, and 6x cardio sessions per week.
