The Behaviour Coach Podcast is on pause for the next month while I write my doctoral comprehensive exams. Back in October.
Now here is the honest reason behind it.
In my work with clients and in everything I teach, I talk constantly about capacity. Supporting the nervous system. Pacing. Saying no.
The truth is, I am not always good at that myself.
Like the true ADHDer I am, I am not good at saying no. And I also love a new challenge. Which means despite coaching teens and adults about pacing, I sometimes still end up with too much on my plate.
This fall was one of those times. I had a paced-out plan for my comps. Then administrative hiccups meant I could not start until the end of August, my busiest time of year. I planned to just push through. And then my body flared and told me to slow down.
So I had some hard conversations with myself. I cancelled a family trip. I paused the podcast for the next month. And I said a whole lot of no's.
Unsurprisingly, I started to feel better quickly.
Take this as your message. If you have been coaching yourself or your family through capacity conversations while ignoring your own signals, I see you. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is take our own advice.
Podcast returns in October. Stories will still happen here and there.
