I was sitting there staring at the numbers. A coaching practice that was actually healthy for my nervous system. Current rent prices and cost of living. 

The math didn't work. 

If I wanted to stay out of AuDHD burnout, I couldn't push my nervous system that hard again just to afford living alone. I needed breathing room to rebuild something sustainable. But I had no idea how.

Then my partner said: "What if we just bought a house with your parents?"

In this episode:

• Why the stigma around living with parents is recent (and culturally specific)
• How our home setup solved the overwhelm of traditional shared housing
• Finding the balance between connection & agency 
• The year of rebuilding this arrangement made possible
• Why this isn't regression—it's ecosystem design that honors both connection and autonomy

> This episode is part of this season's PATHS series—exploring unconventional ways AuDHD women can design their own lives. <
