In Episode 19 of Unlabelled and Limitless, Lois opens the New Year with a reflective solo conversation on why the world desperately needs to slow down. From crowded trains and constant notifications to artificial deadlines and decision paralysis, she explores how modern life pushes our nervous systems beyond capacity, especially for neurodivergent minds.
Using lived experience with ADHD, burnout, and recovery, Lois unpacks how speed has become a false measure of worth and productivity. She reflects on decision paralysis, overstimulation, and the cost of an urgency culture, while offering a different lens: slowing down does not kill momentum; it restores clarity, creativity, and executive function.
This episode is an invitation to begin the year differently with more intention, fewer emergencies, and a more profound respect for rest, boundaries, and human limits.
