About this episode
Achievements often feel tied into personal identity. AuDHD folks in particular struggle with achievement pressures, even with just regular neurodivergent demand avoidance.
A few core topics:
- The joy of supporting others' work and stepping back from being the primary creator
- Achievements often don't provide the emotions we expect, so it's meaningful to focus on making the process feel better instead
- Creativity requires boredom and rest
- And the very surprising thought I had that led to this episode...
Episodes mentioned:
- Andrew Simonet on creating supportive feedback convos as a creative
- When Dreams Feel Impossible (last week's episode)
- Autistic Stereotypes with Thomas Henley
