Ever wondered if there’s a connection between being “bendy” and living with ADHD? In this episode, I open up about my own experience with hypermobility and how it overlaps with ADHD in ways that often go unseen. From brain fog and fatigue to those “is it me or my body?” questions—we’re diving into the real, lived experience behind the research.
🌱 What you’ll hear in this episode:
The surprising overlap between ADHD and hypermobility
How both conditions can affect energy, focus, and daily life
Why validation and self-compassion matter more than “fixing” yourself
Small, practical ways to listen to your body and protect your energy
This is not about labels or limitations—it’s about understanding ourselves better. For me, learning about the ADHD + hypermobility connection has been empowering. It gave language to things I thought were “just me being bad at life” and turned them into something I could meet with compassion and strategies that actually work.
💛 If you’ve ever felt exhausted, clumsy, or misunderstood in your body—while also navigating ADHD—this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. Our bendy brains and bodies just work a little differently.
