👋Way harsh, Tai! (If you get this reference, you are a Xennial, like ME).

🧠But for REAL, the diagnosis of ADHD isn’t a vibe. It’s a system backlog.

🧠It’s years (sometimes decades-LITERALLY) of:
👉misread symptoms (especially in girls/women, high-maskers, and “high achievers”)
👉anxiety/depression/burnout getting treated while the executive dysfunction stays unnamed
👉coping on caffeine, adrenaline, people-pleasing, and shame until peri/menopause (or stress/parenting/life load) strips the mask and everything collapses

🧠So no, this isn’t a “trend.” It’s people finally getting language for what they’ve been surviving.

🧠If you were diagnosed late: you’re not behind. You were missed.

❤️If this landed, comment CALM so I can send some love to your nervous system today. OH, and feel free to share with ANYONE who might need this reminder🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🗣️.

Love you, Surthriving With You, XO, Dr. Jen

Healing from childhood stuff is tricky because you have to teach yourself all the things you should have been taught years ago. It is safe to have needs. It is safe to take up space. Which one of these hits home for you today?

If the world feels too much right now, this video is for you. Feeling numb, exhausted, frozen, or overwhelmed is not weakness, it’s your nervous system doing...

Type RESPONSIBLE and I’ll send the link to this FLASH FREEBIE.

This Responsibility & Choices SEL Check-In Journal is a print + digital daily check-in tool — and it’s one journal from the larger Yearlong SEL Journal Bundle.

It’s designed for moments when students are learning:
• how to follow through
• how to make better choices
• how to pause and think before reacting

Each page includes a short feelings check-in and a responsibility-focused prompt that helps students reflect on:
• being responsible
• solving problems
• making positive choices
• handling peer pressure
• healthy habits and self-care

Teachers and counselors use this during:
• morning meetings
• journal time
• small groups
• counseling sessions

Because the structure is already there, students can work independently — and adults can observe, listen, and support instead of leading the whole thing.

This Responsibility Journal is a flash freebie for a limited time, and it works both digitally (Google Slides™) and on paper.

Type RESPONSIBLE and I’ll send the link.

“From the first touch of the sand, there is often a palpable release of tension, as the body begins to find its natural rhythm again.”
