Nervous System Regulation Help For ADHD Overwhelm and Burnout

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re diving into the world of somatic ADHD coaching, and why connecting with your nervous system might be the missing link in managing burnout, chronic stress, and overwhelm.

I’m joined by Jenny Adams, a somatic ADHD coach who helps women understand the mind-body connection and develop nervous system regulation and calming strategies that feel safe, sustainable, and uniquely aligned to them. Together, we explore how tuning into your body’s signals can help you set better boundaries, honour your energy, and stop pushing through at the expense of your wellbeing.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available. Grab your copy here!
