In today’s conversation, I’m sitting down with Dr. Kailey Buller, and wow… she brings so much wisdom about stress, transitions, and what it really looks like to decompress when you have an ADHD brain. We talk about those “in-between moments” — the little buffers most of us skip — and how they actually make or break our stress tolerance. Kailey walks us through simple ways to come down after high-stress situations, how to build tiny decompression rituals into real life, and why a little playfulness goes a long way (for us and our kids).

If you’ve ever gone from one thing to the next with zero breathing room and wondered why you’re snappy, overwhelmed, or wiped out… this episode is such a breath of fresh air.

Takeaways:

• ADHD brains have a lower stress threshold — which is why transition buffers matter so much.
• Adding a buffer between high-stress tasks can completely change how you show up.
• Decompression isn’t optional — it’s necessary.
• A tiny moment of play can shift your whole nervous system.
• Built-in pauses help keep stress from stacking.
• Physical unwinding helps your brain chill out.
• Kids respond so well to playful redirection during tense moments.
• When we snap under stress, acknowledgment + repair are powerful.
• Joy in the small, simple moments actually reduces stress.
• Emotional safety makes it easier for everyone in the home to reset.
