002. Ever felt relieved to get sick—because it’s the only time you’re forced to rest?

This one gets real about what ADHD burnout actually looks like in women (hint: it’s not just collapsing—it’s over-functioning until you can’t anymore). Kristy reframes breakdowns as turning points, explores why rest isn’t a reward, and introduces the concept of Daily Rituals of Power (DROP)

In this episode:

• The story of Kristy’s 7 day vacation.

• The ironic 2019 “Word of the Year” that set it all in motion

• How undiagnosed ADHD and perfectionism feed the Try Harder Trap

• What burnout really looks like in women (it’s not what you think)

• How to recognize the quiet red flags before your body forces a shutdown

• The power of pausing and “trying softer”

• Introducing DROP: Daily Rituals of Power—simple ways to reconnect to your rhythm (https://thedailydistracted.kit.com/)
