🔥 What does it really take to move from ADHD burnout to radical self-acceptance?

In this Fireside Chat, we sit down with Devin Pitts-Rogers—ADHD advocate, creative powerhouse, and our very own podcast host—to explore the tangled web of resolutions, routines, and relapse. From the Rocky Mountains in Tabernash, CO, Devin shares his journey from late ADHD diagnosis to building a toolkit for thriving—inside and outside of work.

From bass guitar lessons after a decade away to using FocusMate for accountability, Devin opens up about the push-and-pull between burnout, self-care, and the ever-present need for visual reminders just to take a breath. His story is equal parts practical strategy and emotional truth-telling for ADHD adults trying to reclaim their time, energy, and joy.

✨ Highlights ✨
 🎸 Why picking up the bass after 14 years became a radical act of self-care.
 ☕ The hidden cost of caffeine as ADHD self-medication—and what happens when you quit.
 ⏳ How burnout traps ADHDers in a cycle of “too tired to recharge.”
 🌍 Why accountability and community (even with strangers online) make all the difference.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever set a goal, fallen off, and thought, “Maybe next week…”—and is ready to try again with more compassion.
