Episode Details

You know that regulation is supposed to help. You've tried yoga, bought a notebook and started journaling, and practiced breathing. But if you're still white-knuckling it through most days, the approach might be missing something.

In this episode, I break down what in-the-moment nervous system regulation looks like for ADHDers, and why doing it as a to-do list task isn't enough to change your state of being. I walk you through how to spot your personal signs of ADHD dysregulation as they're happening, and how to interrupt them with tools simple enough to use in real life, not just in a yoga studio.

If you've been doing all the right things and still feel like you're running on empty, this is where the work actually starts.
