As an AuDHDer, it’s easy to feel trapped between two impossible choices: stay in one place and feel stagnant, or live the nomadic life and feel dysregulated. But what if there's a third option? 

This episode explores how to structure geographic flexibility that honors both your ADHD's need for novelty and your Autism's need for predictability—from extended annual stays to seasonal migration patterns to having a mobile option when you need to pop out.

In this episode:

  • Our five-year evolution through corner suites, warehouse apartments, and extended campervan travel
  • The difference between being a “tourist” and having multiple places that genuinely feel like home
  • How "same bed, different place" honors the AuDHD paradox
  • Why seasonal migration is ancient human practice, not modern instability
  • The hard-won keys I live by to make location independence work for my AuDHD nervous system (that no one tells you)

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