Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. The Connection Between the Hunter Farmer Theory of ADHD and Neurodiversity. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
In this episode, we'll explore the connection between the Hunter Farmer theory of ADHD and the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergent. As we unpack these two viewpoints of ADHD, they both seem to point in the same direction: people with ADHD have gifts to contribute to society. We'll also discuss how the hunter-farmer theory can lead us back to ancient and deeply nourishing practices that can allow us to feel more at home in the world and with ourselves.

We've all been there.
It's late -- past the time we planned to get to bed.
And, our mind is on fire.

Sometimes it's creative ideas and problem solving...
Sometimes its pure anxiety and stress...

Our brain just won't settle down enough for us to get some much-needed sleep.

In this episode we'll discuss strategies to effectively manage this tendency that often goes hand-in-hand with our hypercreative brains.
