You lived in survival mode. The stress, the paralysis, the frantic crash cycle. And then something shifted. This episode is for the adult with ADHD who's curious what life looks like on the other side of nervous system regulation work.
I'm sharing five things that changed after I got regulated, none of which were what I originally went in looking for.

The changes didn't come from trying harder, but from the shift in operating conditions.
