Making New Year Plans With Chronic Illness, Autism and ADHD | A New Year Check In

If you’re starting the year feeling tired, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make plans when your brain and body don’t cooperate, this video is for you. In this gentle New Year check-in, I’m sharing how I approach planning when I’m living with chronic illness, autism, and ADHD, and why traditional goal-setting doesn’t really work for me anymore. I talk about choosing intentions over rigid goals, learning to unmask, protecting my energy, and what this year might look like for me personally and for this channel. I also share a little update from our Christmas mini break, which was exactly what I needed.
If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

🌈 ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Finn.
I’m an author and content creator sharing my life as a trans, autistic man living with chronic illness, navigating late discovery, identity, recovery, and what it means to live more gently.
I talk openly about trans life, autism, ME/CFS, mental health, and the quiet, often unseen work of becoming yourself later in life.
Not to fix or optimise, but to understand, connect, and feel less alone.
You’re very welcome here.
