Send us a text

How often do you feel spacey, irritable, or like your brain is buzzing in seven directions at once? If you’ve been blaming it all on ADHD and assuming there’s nothing you can do—you’re not alone. But what if those symptoms weren’t just neurological? What if they were also energetic?

In this kickoff to The ADHD Energy Series, Stacey unpacks why ADHD moms struggle to just be, what’s really happening inside our nervous systems, and how we can begin to reset our energy with a simple 5-minute ritual (that involves sweatpants and silence, of course).

With stories about PMS chaos, multi-tasking meltdowns, and what she’s learning from Dr. Joe Dispenza, this episode will help you reframe “doing nothing” as the most powerful thing you can do.

🧠 What You'll Learn:

• What “energetic dysregulation” really means for ADHD moms
• Why we get stuck in the nervous system loop—and how to break it
• How your hormones, brainwaves, and constant output affect your creativity and mood
• Why rest isn’t lazy—it’s a radical act of self-worth
• Stacey’s Soft Pants Reset: the 5-minute trick that helped her ADHD brain finally breathe
