What if your brain is just stuck in survival mode... zoomed in so far that you've lost sight of what actually matters? In this episode, I talk about what happens when the ADHD brain zooms in and how it quietly steals your perspective on what's important.

The more regulated you become, the easier it gets to zoom back out and make decisions your future self will actually thank you for.
