Gratitude, Grace and Grit

What happens when ADHD meets the chaos of midlife? When emotional regulation collides with hormonal imbalance, and everything—focus, patience, even mental stability—feels like quicksand?

In this powerful, heart-forward episode, host Tera Greenwood explores three pillars that help ADHD minds survive and thrive through life’s hardest seasons:

Gratitude — how small, intentional moments of appreciation can rewire emotional regulation and ground an overstimulated mind.
