If you have ever started a task with the best intentions, yet 4 hours later your sat doing something completely different wondering how you got there... this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, clinical psychologist and ADHD expert Dr Hannah Cullen talks us through the Default Mode Network, how it is impacted in those of us with ADHD, and the tools we can use to support our brains!

If you're normally scared by the term neuroscience, this episode offers a warm, funny and brilliantly clear perspective on information that could really help you to make sense of a brain you may have spent a lifetime fighting against.

In this episode, we explore:

What the Default Mode Network actually is and why understanding it is so crucial for managing ADHD symptoms
Why do so many of us start tasks and struggle to finish them, and what this has to do with working memory
How Dr Hannah brings the DMN to life by demonstrating in real time just how hard it is for our brains to stay focused
Pacing techniques that can genuinely reduce burnout and help with task completion
The power of microstarts and real examples of how they can help you finally begin
How outsourcing tasks and body doubling can ease overwhelm and boost productivity
Simple systems like planners and diaries can make daily life feel more manageable
Why ADHD shows up differently in women, including the impact on stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem

This session offers something that good therapy often takes years to uncover — and Hannah delivers it with so much warmth, humour and clarity that you'll want to listen twice.
