Good-isms | Exploring Neurodivergence and Mental Wellness

Welcome to another inspiring episode of Whole Life Vitality! In this episode, Lauren Whiteurst sits down with Adam Brooks, a brilliant and insightful guest, to dive into the topic of “Goodisms”—those well-meaning yet sometimes damaging pieces of advice often given to individuals with neurodivergent minds.

🌟 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What neurodivergence means and why it’s often misunderstood.

• How seemingly simple “good advice” can impact those dealing with ADHD, depression, or other neurodivergent traits.

• The importance of self-advocacy, setting boundaries, and “budgeting your energy.”

• How mood, energy, and mental health fluctuate like the weather—and why that’s okay.

• Why self-care and ditching guilt are essential for whole-life vitality.

Through humor, honesty, and deep reflection, Adam and Lauren unpack how to navigate mental wellness with grace and self-compassion while debunking harmful mental health clichés.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Give yourself permission to rest and recover.

• Learn to recognize when advice isn’t serving you—and let it go.

• Build your life and wellness routine based on YOUR needs, not someone else’s expectations.
