Liv and Martha get real about what’s actually underneath those “burn it all down” moments in business.

We unpack what happens when you're running on nervous system fumes, how to tell when you’re making decisions from a dysregulated place, and what to try before you set your business on fire (hint: it might involve snacks, naps, or aggressively unsubscribing from half the internet).

Here's what went down:

• How to recognise the signs that you’re making decisions from a dysregulated state

• Why panic can feel like clarity and how to tell when it’s not

• What nervous system regulation actually involves (spoiler: it’s more than deep breaths and lavender oil)

• The $200 seatbelt story and other meltdown-mode decisions

• The small recalibrations that help when a full rebrand isn’t the answer

• What to try before you bin your business (snacks, naps, and nervous system support)

• Why The Branding Psychologist is dead and how this new chapter might shift things for you too

Liv and Martha unpack the ways traditional productivity hacks often backfire for neurodivergent brains. We talk body doubling, strategic spite (yes, really), and what it actually means to build trust in your own rhythm.

This is part ADHD deep-dive, part gentle rebellion—and all about creating businesses and lives that work with your brain, not against it.

Here's what went down:

• Why productivity isn’t linear (and never has been)

• How executive dysfunction gets in the way and why it’s not your fault.

• Strategic spite(™) as a surprisingly effective motivational tool

• What body doubling really gives us (spoiler: it’s not just accountability)

• Why habit stacking and time blocking often don’t work for neurodivergent folks

• What trusting your brain looks like and how to build that trust over time

• Redefining consistency, motivation, and success on your own terms

• Why your brain and body are not separate and why that matters for getting stuff done

Learn how to navigate the emotional weight of change, why tethering matters (especially when everything feels like a shit show), and how to start preparing leaders to navigate failure with awareness and intention.

Amber Anthony is a behaviour specialist, neuro-inclusion consultant, and founder of the Neurospicy Collective. She brings a systems lens to human experience, helping organisations and individuals navigate change in a way that’s actually supportive, not performative.

We talk about the messy middle: emotional regulation during destabilising times, the cost of continuous change, and what it means to build your own sense of tethering when external anchors fall away.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re rebuilding midair or trying to lead through uncertainty, this one’s worth a listen.

Here’s what went down:

• Why small, ongoing changes hit harder than one big disruption

• What “tethering” really means and how to build it for yourself

• How to hold emotional space for the in-between moments of change

• Why do we need to stop pretending leaders won’t fail and teach them how to navigate failure with awareness and intention

• The cost of mental load in organisations and how to design with capacity in mind

• Why resilience is less about being tough, and more about coming back

• A different way to frame the emotional impact of systems change
