Calm the Overwhelm:
A free guide to help your ADHD brain rest before burnout hits
Take a break – before you break.
You weren’t made to just push through.
If you’re constantly spinning plates without any time for recovery, you will crash and burn.
Especially with an ADHD brain that never switches off.
When your mind is in overdrive and the pressure won’t let up, it’s easy to ignore the warning signs of burnout – until your body and brain force you to stop.
What if you could spot the signs — and slow down — before burnout takes hold?
This free guide will help you:
✅ Spot your signs of physical and emotional overwhelm — so you can catch it early
✅ Choose realistic, doable ways to pause that suit your ADHD brain — without adding pressure
✅ Recognise how your inner critic sabotages rest — and gently shift into permission and self-compassion
Calm the Overwhelm is your first step towards doing life differently, both in work and in life — with more compassion, more space, and less pressure to be perfect.
Created by Clinical Psychologist and ADHD specialist Michaela Thomas, this is for high-achieving, neurodivergent women who want to burn bright, without burning out.
You don’t need to do more. You don’t need another plan.
What you do need is space to breathe — and permission to do things differently.

Hi there! I’m Michaela Thomas.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist supporting high-striving working women to follow their ambition with less self-doubt, perfectionism and procrastination.
My mission is to help ambitious women let go of the pressure of perfection, so they can dance to the beat of their own drum instead of conforming to the ‘good girl’ societal conditioning, which dictates that we can never BE enough and never DO enough.
So no wonder we all get drawn into that hustle mentality!
But didn’t you start working for yourself so you could have freedom and flexibility? Being your own boss so you could work in a way that served you and your family..? What happened?!
Imagine if you could be as nice to yourself as you are to your kids, your partner or your friends – you could move mountains with all the extra energy you’d get from taking proper care of yourself!
Over the past 15 years I have helped thousands of high-striving busy people move from anxious overworking and burnout, to a better balanced and fulfilling life full of joy – without sacrificing their ambition in the process.
