WEBINAR — Adult ADHD: How to Burn Bright without Burning Out

July 8, 2026
12:00pm ET
Virtual

Presented by Clinical Psychologist, Michaela Thomas.

Executive presence and professional success are often framed through the lens of relentless productivity, but for those with ADHD, that pace often leads to a cycle of extremes: the frantic, anxious energy of the "meerkat" or the paralyzed inertia of the "sloth."

In this compassionate and practical webinar, Clinical Psychologist and AuDHD coach Michaela Thomas explores why the ADHD brain is uniquely susceptible to burnout. Drawing from her Pause Purpose Play framework, Michaela will deconstruct the "more than just ADHD" patterns of perfectionism, anxiety, and self-criticism that fuel the "too much yet not enough" narrative.

Whether you are a high-achieving leader or navigating a late-in-life diagnosis, you will learn how to listen to your body’s boundaries and move from a state of survival to sustainable, authentic success.

Key Takeaways

• Learn to identify the cycle of extremes: recognize the "meerkat" (hyper-focused/frantic) and "sloth" (stuck in inertia) states to better understand your brain’s response to stress.
• Examine how the intersection of perfectionism and neurodivergence increases the risk of burnout and how to distinguish it from standard exhaustion.
• Discover actionable strategies to soften self-criticism and replace feelings of being "not enough" with a sustainable "Burn Bright" mindset.
• Gain tools to navigate life’s demands without sacrificing your sanity or personal priorities.
