This week, Skye is joined by pole dance instructor, contortion coach, social media marketing manager and "the most organised disorganised person" Anna Frost. Anna shares her experiences with Unconventional Organisation courses -- how they’ve helped her break out of ADHD paralysis and hack her hyperfocus.

Diagnosed at 17, Anna is a big advocate of managing symptoms through movement. Outside of her professional life, she busies herself with a long and revolving list of hobbies that currently includes crocheting, cooking, and hanging out with her partner Mark and cat, Ripley.
