Summary

New year energy hits different when you have a neurodivergent brain. In this first LATE BLOOMERS episode of 2026, Rich and Rox pull apart everything that makes traditional New Year’s resolutions confusing, overwhelming or downright impossible for ADHD and neurodivergent people.

From sensory based habits to special interest powered routines to making goals that won’t burn you out by February, this is the alternative guide to building a life that actually works for your brain.

Packed with honesty, humour and practical tools, this episode will help you understand why you have struggled in past years and give you realistic strategies to make this one feel different.

If you want a gentler happier more sustainable approach to the new year, this one is for you.
