If you're in a current state of nervous system overwhelm, feeling regularly anxious or chronically stressed, and have no idea how to even BEGIN to rest again, then this episode is for you.

In this episode I talk about:

why these external stressors exacerbate our ADHD 'symptoms' and challenges
what to do when you're so chronically stressed you get stuck in fight or flight 'sympathetic' mode, and are completely overwhelmed

when all self care feels like an effort and why guided visualisations have been AMAZING for me
examples of life and relationships stressors on our nervous system
a checklist to assess nervous system burnout in our body
what happens when our nervous systems gets stuck in a fight or flight state
shame & guilt when we 'fail' at self care
sensory cocoons, creating a safe 'home' inside your body & how even a 1 minute break can help
a 20 min guided visualisation to invite deep rest and connection with your body
