The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way®️25 Juni 2025

How to Remember to DO the Skill in the Moment When You Need it Most

Ever learned a great ADHD strategy… only to completely forget to use it when you actually needed it? You're not alone—and you're definitely not doing it wrong.

In this episode of The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way, Jen Barnes shares two ADHD-friendly approaches to help you actually remember to use your regulation skills and strategies in real time. You'll learn how to work with your brain (not against it) by creating future anchors and calling in your inner Follow-Through Fairy 🧚‍♀️—yes, really.

Plus, Jen gently unpacks common mindfulness misconceptions, especially the ones that keep ADHD women from starting in the first place. You’ll walk away with a simple, sustainable way to practice mindfulness (like mindful toothbrushing!) so you can strengthen your brain’s ability to pause and respond—without needing a silent retreat or a meditation cushion.

✨ Short on time, big on takeaways—this is your sign to make your ADHD tools stick.
