Ever been told to “just listen to your body” — but your body seems to be giving you bad data?

For ADHDers, interoception — our ability to recognize and interpret body signals — is often glitchy as hell. Our brains either mute these signals, blast them at full volume, or scramble them, making it ridiculously hard to know what we actually need. Add in shame-based motivation, executive dysfunction, and sensory overload, and suddenly, meeting basic needs feels like trying to decode an encrypted message.

In This Episode, We’ll Cover:

✅ Why “listen to your body” is useless advice for ADHDers

✅ How our interoception is wonky, making body signals feel mute, overwhelming, or confusing

✅ Why executive dysfunction keeps you from acting on what you know you need

✅ Practical, ADHD-friendly strategies to recognize and respond to body signals before you’re in full meltdown mode
