In this episode, Steph dives deeper into pacing and energy conservation, sharing the lived experience and reflections that led to the creation of a free Energy Accounting and Activity Tracker.She explores how different people recover from exertion in different ways, including delayed crashes that can show up days or even weeks later, and why this makes planning, rest, and sustainability so complex for many neurodivergent people.

Steph walks listeners through the thinking behind the tracker, including why mood, energy, and motivation are tracked separately, and how noticing patterns over time can support better self-understanding and burnout prevention. Drawing on both personal insight and the wisdom of the community she works alongside, this episode invites listeners to experiment with observing their own capacity with curiosity rather than judgement.

A practical, compassionate conversation about learning your rhythms, honouring recovery needs, and creating space for rest, not just immediately after exertion, but in the days that follow.
