267. When Summer Feels Like Too Much

Amanda Hess: Certified Life Coach For Neurodivergent Women
About this episode

Summer arrives with the promise of freedom and relaxation, yet for many of us, it delivers the exact opposite - a whirlwind of overstimulation, unpredictable schedules, and mounting pressure to create perfect memories. If your experience of summer is never as relaxing as you wish it would be, listen in this week. 

I share three essential insights for creating a summer that actually works for your life. You'll discover practical strategies for regulating your nervous system, setting boundaries that honor your capacity, and designing intentional recovery time into your days - so you can stop performing summer for everyone else and start experiencing it for yourself.
