Giving myself the permission and grace to do things that protect my capacity. ✨

Learning to meet myself halfway in a world that rarely gives the same in return. Instead of pouring my energy into perfectionism and old traditions that leave me drained, I’m embracing new ones that make me feel full, supported, and aligned with my needs.

It’s not about doing less. It’s about doing what matters in a way that works for me. 💛

How are you protecting your capacity this season? Let’s share and inspire each other! 👇

That said, it’s not all bad. Personally, as a sensory seeker, I love the chaotic bright lights, smells, and sounds.

But the crowds, constant masking, daily demand spikes, and social expectations? Those can steal the joy.

So, I’m taking control and building traditions that actually work for me.

This year, I’m skipping gift-opening performances, setting clear time limits for family gatherings, and creating a season that feels good—not draining.

What about you? How are you making the holidays your own?

From comfort shows to Slow TV, there’s a pipeline for neurodivergent brains—and it’s all about finding that just right level of stimulation.

Comfort shows are the OGs: familiar, predictable, and perfect for rewatching. But have you tried Slow TV? Norway turned it into a full-blown movement—hours of calming, drama-free content like train rides through snowy landscapes or boats floating down quiet rivers.

For ADHD and Autistic adults, it’s the ultimate hack for hitting that Goldilocks zone:

* Not too much stimulation (so you don’t feel overwhelmed).

* Not too little (so you don’t feel stuck).
Slow TV is perfect for those tasks that feel too boring to even start—like cooking, folding laundry, or organizing your space. It’s like brain fuel, but low stakes and chill.

✨ Do you vibe with comfort shows or Slow TV? Drop your go-tos below and let’s build the ultimate “just right” watchlist!

The ADHD brain is wild—wins vanish into thin air while failures stay burned into your memory like a bad tattoo. Why? Let’s break it down:

💨Wins slip away because we’re never fully present to soak them in. While you’re crushing it, your brain’s already jumped to the next ten things on your mental to-do list. Add working memory differences into the mix (aka the sticky note part of your brain losing half the sticky), and even big accomplishments get erased before they can leave a mark.

🥞Meanwhile, failures? Oh, those stick around. ADHD brains are wired to scan for rejection and threats (hello, RSD and trauma), so we replay every embarrassing moment or mistake on a loop to prepare for it happening again. Pair that with a brain that thrives on strong emotional memories, and suddenly your flops feel bigger than they are.

📈This creates a totally skewed mental picture. You’re out here stacking wins left and right, but confirmation bias tells your brain, “Nah, you only mess things up.” It’s like wearing glasses that only zoom in on the bad stuff—no wonder imposter syndrome sets up camp.

✍️Let’s rewrite this. Keep a wins journal. Slow down to celebrate when you accomplish something, no matter how small. Catch that ADHD brain trying to hype up your failures and remind yourself: the picture in your head is not the full story.

What if tools were meant to change with each season of you?

What if we stopped labeling it a failure when the planner collects dust or the gym class no longer sparks joy? What if, instead, we saw it as a signal—an invitation to step into the next season of us?

The truth is, tools aren’t static. They’re not meant to serve every version of you forever. Forcing something that no longer fits isn’t discipline—it’s resistance.

What if we leaned into the shift? What if we let go of what isn’t working and stayed open to the next thing that might?

Because growth isn’t linear, and neither are your tools.

💭 What’s a tool that worked for you once but doesn’t anymore? And what’s your next thing? Drop it below—we’re all evolving here. 🌱

Soft Skills: The Hidden Rules of Connection

Soft skills—reading the room, small talk, adapting to unspoken rules—are the world’s secret handshake. They’re how people land jobs, build relationships, and find respect. For autistic folks, these invisible expectations can feel like a rigged system.

But here’s the twist: not every environment runs on this social currency. Some spaces value what you bring over how you bring it. Careers in tech, research, art, writing, and design can celebrate focus, innovation, and unique perspectives. And friendships? The real ones don’t expect you to perform; they just get you—no masks required.

The key? Finding environments where your strengths shine, your uniqueness is celebrated, and the pressure to “fit in” is replaced with belonging.

✨ Looking for that kind of space? Join me over at —a community where you’re welcomed exactly as you are. Because here, you do belong. 💥

To those living unmasked: If you’re one of the lucky ones who’s scraped, clawed, and shed your way to an authentic, unmasked life, please share your experience in the comments. We love an aspirational story here—it’s proof that it’s possible.

To my masking-to-survive people: I get it. Every smile, every nod, every carefully chosen word is part of the act. It’s survival. Living a double life means pretending to belong while feeling like a stranger to yourself. The constant code-switching, self-monitoring, and hiding? It’s exhausting. It’s isolating. And it leaves you wondering if anyone truly knows you.

But let me emphasize the magic: finding that first person who gets it. The one you don’t have to mask for. The one who doesn’t need you to perform, who sees the real you and stays. That’s the absolute gift. True healing. Proof that there is nothing wrong with you.

It’s freedom, connection, and belonging in the most raw, unfiltered way. It’s the catalyst for discovering more people and places where you can unmask, step by step, in your life. It’s the life we all deserve.
I’m making some changes in my professional life—peeling back another layer of the mask.


If you resonate with what I’ve been sharing lately, make sure you follow my new project where I’m tangibly piecing together my dreams of what a truly neurodivergent-friendly life can be.

As a neurodivergent entrepreneur, energetic planning isn’t just a strategy—it’s survival.

I’ve had to sacrifice the grind culture mentality and get brutally honest about what drains my daily capacity. Prioritizing sleep, setting boundaries, and understanding how my sensitive nervous and sensory system operates isn’t optional—it’s what keeps me functional.

The truth is, no one is coming to save me. So I’ve built a system that does.

This isn’t about ‘laziness’ (yuck, my least favorite word), it’s about sustainability. Knowing where my energy goes, and where it shouldn’t, allows me to stay in the game, focus on creating something meaningful, and keep fighting for a world that works for more of us.

If you resonate with my views on creating a more inclusive world, follow me at (where I’ll be moving soon). Also, heads up—I’ll be rebranding to NicoleBulsara, so you’ll know where to find me.

Society does a sh*t job accommodating different brain types, and ND burnout is the brutal proof. It’s not just “needing rest”—it’s full-on skill regression, sensory meltdowns, withdrawal, emotional overwhelm, and more. It’s the soul-crushing moment you realize your body and mind can’t keep up with the relentless demands anymore.

This world wasn’t built for our brains, but we’re still expected to power through. Guess what? That doesn’t work. If we don’t get honest about how much our plates can actually hold, burnout will keep taking us out.

🛑 Let’s start being real:

* Burnout isn’t just about doing too much—it’s about the invisible demands no one else sees.
* Social energy, sensory input, masking, the pressure to prove your worth—it all drains capacity.
* Planning your days isn’t just about tasks on a schedule—it’s about factoring in the invisible tolls that hit harder than anyone admits.

🌟 It’s time to stop lying to yourself about what’s realistic. Adjust your expectations. Build in recovery time. Set boundaries that actually protect you. And be patient as you figure out how to live with limits that most people can’t understand.

This society may not give us the support we deserve, but we can start by giving it to ourselves. Rest isn’t lazy—it’s survival. Recovery isn’t optional—it’s a necessity. You’re not broken for needing it.

🔥 What do you wish people understood about ND burnout? Let’s tear down the myths.

💬 I will respond to all comments made within the first 24 hours!

👉 And make sure you’re following my new project —we’re rewriting the rules on burnout and building something better.

ADHD brains are dopamine junkies—we thrive on the idea of the thing: starting the business, planning the project, curating the perfect vibe. The fantasy feels like success already. 👏

But when it’s time to start ? Cue the executive dysfunction, procrastination, and “ugh, I suck at this I should just quit” spiral. The dopamine dries up, and suddenly your dream feels like a chore.

Here’s the shift: This isn’t failure, it’s just ADHD being ADHD. The hack?

✨ Celebrate action steps over perfect plans
✨ Flexibility > rigid routines.
✨ Rest isn’t lazy, it’s brain fuel.

Your brain isn’t broken, it’s creative. Learn to ride the wave, and watch those big dreams become your reality. 💡💥

P.S. I co-authored a workbook with Dr. Megan Anna Neff , to help ADHD adults tackle the executive functioning nightmares we face daily. If you want real tools from ADHD professionals who also live the struggle, comment “EFworkbook” for the more.

For 30 years, I struggled with symptoms that consistently derailed my life—until I finally understood that autistic burnout was at the core of it all. Seeing my struggles through the neurodivergent lens saved my life and allowed me to release unhealthy coping mechanisms like binge eating, substance misuse, and social isolation.

I’ve made it my life’s work to share this journey with you all, and I’m so proud to finally be on the other side—building successful, consistent relationships and work.

I’m excited to share my new project , where I’ll be focusing almost entirely on ADHD and autistic burnout, answering your questions, and debunking common myths. Make sure to follow the new page and add it to your favorites as I transition fully over there.

I’ve pinned the Autistic Burnout Symptom Checklist by in the comments below.

✨ It’s a true joy to share this dream with you! Creating NeuroVillage in Bali has been a long-time vision—a space where the healing, self-discovery, and growth I experienced here could be accessible to our neurodivergent community. Nestled amidst Bali’s lush, grounding landscapes, NeuroVillage is a sanctuary designed to support those navigating burnout, emotional dysregulation, trauma, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of neurodivergence. With a blend of neuroscience, creativity, and holistic approaches, this space offers a place to rest, reconnect, and explore who you are at a pace that feels right for you.

We’re excited to invite a limited number of retreat guests to be the very first to experience this vision for a vibrant, nurturing community in the heart of Bali:

🌿 Burnout Retreat – January 19-29
💖 Women’s Self-Love Retreat – February 9-19

If this speaks to you, check the link in my bio for more details or comment “NeuroVillage” below. Thank you for being a part of this journey, we can’t wait to welcome you here! ✨
