Have you ever had a day where you did nothing and still felt completely exhausted? There's actually a really good explanation for that.

In this episode I break down energy accounting, one of the frameworks I come back to constantly in my work with autistic adults. Once you understand it, you start to see your energy in a completely different way. Credit to Dr. Megan Anna Neff whose work on this concept has been incredibly influential.

In this episode:

  • What energy accounting actually is and why the phone battery analogy works
  • What drains the battery, work, socializing, masking, sensory environments, unexpected changes, and emotional labor
  • What charges the battery and why it's more personal than people think
  • Why some things do both and how to get specific about which is which for you
  • The most important thing nobody talks about, why you need a little battery left to recharge
  • Your takeaway, how to start mapping your own energy this week
