321 The 5-Minute ADHD Hack That Can Change Your Life
Ever feel like your brain is a messy closet with the light off? In this episode, we flip the switch.
I break down the simple but powerful practice of thought downloads—what they are (and aren’t), why they’re crucial for ADHD minds, and how they help you build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity. This isn’t journaling. It’s not a productivity hack. It’s mindfulness for your messy, magical brain.
You’ll learn:
- Why “thinking about your thinking” is hard with ADHD (and what to do about it)
- The difference between a brain dump and a thought download
- How to start a thought download (even when you “don’t know what to write”)
- Prompts to get you unstuck and curious
- The surprising way this 5-minute practice can change everything
Grab a pen. It’s time to meet your mind.
