71. Emotional regulation for ADHD and Autistics at work with Ewa

in this episode, Johanna is joined by Ewa to explore interoception, the ability to notice and understand your body’s internal signals, and how this underpins emotional regulation, especially in work and business.When this awareness is low, it becomes much harder to recognise stress, overwhelm, or fatigue early, often leading to the ADHD push–crash cycle, overcommitting, and eventual burnout. Together, they unpack how this shows up for neurodivergent individuals in professional settings, where demands are high and expectations often don’t align with how their brain works. What can look like procrastination or inconsistency is often a nervous system that hasn’t been supported or understood.The conversation also highlights the difference between avoidance and intentional pauses, and why learning to regulate before pushing through can improve both performance and wellbeing. For many ADHDers, recovery may not look like switching off, but instead engaging in something different, creative, or energising.Ultimately, this episode brings it back to building self-awareness, setting better boundaries, and learning how to work with your brain so you can show up more sustainably in your work, business, and life.🔗 Confident Me Academy: https://confidentmeacademy.comFollow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@johanna_badenhorst⁠⁠ ⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠@adhdherway⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.johannabadenhorst.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for ways to work with Johanna, her resources, programs, and upcoming events.Please leave a comment and a rating.
