As the year winds down, many of us feel pressure to “figure it all out” before January arrives. For solo adults with ADHD, that pressure often turns into shame, burnout, and yet another attempt to completely reboot life.

This episode offers something different.

Christine guides you through a gentle, ADHD-friendly way to reflect on the year—without beating yourself up. You’ll learn how to notice what actually worked, what collapsed under stress, and where your life needs more support (not more willpower).

This is a calm, grounding episode designed to help you close the year with clarity—and step into January without panic.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why traditional year-end reflection often backfires for ADHD brains
• The “reboot cycle” and why it’s especially common for solo adults
• A simple 3-question ADHD year review to gather insight without shame
• How to sort what you learned into keep, reinforce, and release
• Why constant restarts are clues—not failures
• How personal “self-isms” can act as anchors when things wobble
• A new way to think about January that doesn’t involve transformation or hustle

This episode is for you if:

• You feel behind heading into the new year
• You’re tired of resolutions that don’t stick
• You live alone and carry all the responsibility yourself
• You want support systems—not another fresh start

✨ January is about building support, not trying harder.
