Ever notice how draining it is to be around certain people or in certain environments? Like, your ADHD batteries go from 80% to dead real fast?
That’s not in your head, my friend. Your nervous system knows when you’re safe… and when you’re not.

In this episode of Navigating Adult ADHD, we’re talking about the importance of safe people and safe places—what they are, why they matter, and how they impact your ADHD brain (spoiler: a lot).

I’m sharing personal stories (including that time I was living in London with flatmates who made home feel anything but safe), plus practical ways to notice who and where feels good to your nervous system—and who or what doesn’t.

You’ll learn:
✨ What makes someone a safe person (and why even people you love aren’t always it)
✨ How to recognise your safe places—whether it’s your car, the toilet, or a cozy corner
✨ Why safety is crucial for ADHD brains to regulate, recharge, and thrive
✨ How trusting your gut will help you create more safety in your life

If you’ve been feeling constantly on edge or exhausted from masking, this episode is your permission slip to seek out the people and places where you can just be you.

And hey—if you’re looking for a safe place to land? Come hang out with us in the Navigating Adult ADHD Facebook community. We get it.
