ADHD Women and Burnout: Why You're Exhausted and How Feminine Energy Can Help with Eleonore de Posson

Healing ADHD Burnout by Reclaiming Your Feminine Power (with Eleonore de Posson)

If you’ve ever found yourself teetering on the edge of burnout—over-functioning, disconnected from your body, and stuck in “fix it” mode—this episode is your permission slip to pause.

This week, I’m re-airing one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had on the podcast, with spiritual teacher and author Eleonore de Posson. And I’m doing it for a reason: I’ve been living in burnout recovery myself. After months of falling into hustle patterns and misaligned doing, I chose to stop. To soften. And to return to the feminine.

What supported me most? Eleonore’s 21-Day Sacred Feminine Reset—an offering I had purchased last year but wasn’t ready to receive until now. Her work, her presence, and this conversation are part of the medicine I needed—and I want to share that with you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why ADHD women often operate from wounded masculine energy


• How feminine energy helps heal burnout, regulate your nervous system, and restore clarity


• The six gifts of feminine sovereignty (and how to actually embody them)


• The difference between divine and wounded masculine and feminine energy


• What ancient spiritual traditions—from Mary Magdalene to Traditional Chinese Medicine—can teach us about healing and reclaiming power


• How structure, flow, intuition, and groundedness all work together for ADHD women

Even though this episode originally centered on entrepreneurship, the wisdom here is for all ambitious ADHD women—especially those navigating burnout, emotional overwhelm, or spiritual disconnection.
