What if 'good enough' is actually revolutionary?

If hearing the phrase, "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism," sends you into a state of terror or dissociation, you may be in the right place.

Fighting Doomerism with Consumer Autonomy Workshop by Nicky Tate Reparenting Nick

✦✦

Why making a difference feels hopeless...

Many adults with AuDHD and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) are experiencing a perfect storm of paralysis due to:

  • "If I can’t fix the worst horrors in the world, nothing matters," aka binary thinking leads to hopelessness and doomerism, rendering us MORE useless to our cause of making the world a better place.
  • The pressure to be "perfect" is overriding your ability to take action and keeps you stuck feeling powerless in freeze state.
  • Decision fatigue:Yep, this still happens when all of our choices are "bad" and deeply imperfect. It's exhausting weighing the cons and cons between all of our options.
  • We did not create the world's problems ourselves, and we've probably tried many different paths to be an ethical consumer, only to find out some approaches were not as great as expected ex: greenwashing. There's no pretending that many of the issues we face have been caused by billionaires and corporations prioritizing their interests over the wellbeing of people or the planet.

Your spending can reflect your values without burning out from trying to be perfect.

✦✦

Join us for "Fighting Doomerism with Consumer Autonomy," an adult social emotional learning (SEL) workshop designed specifically for demand-avoidant humans who feel drained by the pressure to be an "ethical consumer" when we all know this causes are beyond your control (corporations, billionaires, systemic rot).

I won't tell you what you SHOULD DO, but I'll help you relieve the demands you're facing and give you tools to fight back with. Using those tools will have an exponential ripple effect because you body will feel congruency between your actions and values. This is vital for regaining functional capacity with demand avoidance.

The Lesson Plan

By the end of this 2 hour session, you will:

  • Spot black-and-white 2D perfectionist thinking in your consumption habits and replace it with a NEW 3D spatial model by creating your unique toolkit designed to practice agency.
  • Identify exactly where you do have control and how to use your autonomy there without comparing yourself to others.
  • Create a self-compassionate mutual aid budget + goals that don't add more stress. No math required!!!!
  • I'll show you how to make the most of a beginner friendly ADHD friendly budgeting spreadsheet (based on cash envelopes). Very little math required!!
  • Leave knowing how your actions make the world a better place in your own backyard and personal ecosystem and how you can create hope anytime you need some.

*Informed by the following frameworks: Transformative social emotional learning (tSEL), restorative justice, disability justice, relationship anarchy, somatic exercises, collective care, liberation, and the “Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture,” by Tema Okun

Is this workshop right for you?

This workshop is a good fit if you are:

  • feeling drained by the pressure to be an "ethical consumer," because you know the problem has been created by corporations.
  • wondering what comes after unmasking and unlearning binary thinking because you knowtwo things can be true at once.
  • want to learn a self-compassionate and decolonized approach to aligning your actions with your values in a way that replenishes your soul and is sustainable for your brain, body, and bank account.
  • ready to switch from a 2D binary thinking approach to 3D model of practicing agency through your impact on your community and consumption.

Note: This workshop is designed to be low-demand; I emphasize self accommodation during meetings and sharing access needs.
