In this follow-up conversation, Abbie J returns to The Neurodivergent Report to go deeper into the science of executive functioning!

This time we’re zooming in on the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Curious what's inside?

• What the Default Mode Network is & why you should care (THINK: focus, memory & emotional regulation)

• How emotional salience and working memory affect attention and regulation

• Why traditional mindfulness can backfire (and what to try instead!)

YOU WILL FIND VALUE HERE!

Whether you’re exploring tools to manage ADHD symptoms, or curious about what your brain does “in the background”—this episode offers science-backed insight without the shame spiral.

However you’re able to engage, thanks for being here!

Love, Sarah 💜
