“Can’t stop, won’t stop” vs “Can’t start, can’t finish” ADHD types

perfectionism and burnout

Ever swing between unstoppable energy and complete inertia – buzzing with ideas one day and paralysed by overwhelm the next?

In this episode, Michaela explores two sides of the ADHD experience she calls the Meerkat and the Sloth. One can’t stop, the other can’t start – and both are trying to help you.

You’ll learn why these shifts aren’t inconsistency or failure, but signs of an ADHD brain managing energy and safety. Michaela shares how to move from shame to self-compassion, and find balance between overdrive and standstill.

You’ll hear about:

  • ADHD as attention regulation, not deficit
  • The Meerkat (hyperfocus) vs Sloth (inertia) modes
  • Why rest and action both deserve compassion
  • Tools to steady your energy and find your rhythm

Ready to build compassion for all of you?

Inside Burn Bright, Michaela helps ADHD women in business find the sweet spot between ambition and rest – with support, systems and self-compassion.
