Summary

In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Jennifer Salzman, an ADHD advocate, mindfulness practitioner, and alcohol-free life coach. Jennifer spent years feeling uniquely flawed before receiving an ADHD diagnosis in her 40s. Looking back, she began to understand why alcohol had felt like such a reliable form of relief.

Jennifer also shares how mindfulness, self-awareness, and ADHD-friendly strategies can help people interrupt autopilot habits and feel more in control.
