The Light Between

Most of our life is spent in the energy of frustration and expectation.

We wonder why things are taking so long, but we don't realize under the surface beneath where the magic is happening - that every idea has its own ecosystem and its own timing.

And we get to decide that even though we can't see the fruits of the labor yet, the seed has been received and magic is happening.

It changes the way we make decisions - instead of stopping to look for evidence all the time, the power is when we tap into the trust and faith in ourselves.

I've realized that every time I listen to a very powerful person, I would ask them, how did you do this?

It always comes back to the same thing.

How do you trust when there's no evidence?

You've got to be able to actually embody and feel the trust.

There's a very big difference between doing and being and no longer doing things hidden.

You don't need to know for sure if it's going to work.

The power is in self awareness and standing in “I fully believe in myself.”

This neuro-nature self-hypnosis audio will guide your brain waves back to taking back your agency and focus so the aligned intention and clarity can accelerate your true desires … especially for fast-thinking ADHD over-achievers.

Every disharmonious resonant moment in the body signals an opportunity to unlearn what we’ve been taught about productivity (hustle - creating unconsciously) and worthiness (being sold a bill of goods wasting time “fixing yourself”).

Stop and create self-compassion and energetic resonance with natural sound acoustics to calm the nervous system and gently reprogram how we define success and our compass of achievement so that we can live lives filled with intention, ease, and joy.

Before you begin:

This may seem like a simple guided meditation - in reality, this exercise is for you to frequent and build upon each week - allowing each new listening expertise to reveal what's needed at the time.

You know when you read something that hits you so hard, it stops you in your tracks?

Or, you feel as if someone is on the same path, but just a few steps ahead?

Yup, that is resonance, and if a seed was previously planted - it likely is reappearing in your reality.

Welcome to my crossroad of resistance in starting a NEW WRITE OF PASSAGE in the evolution of Web 3.0.

Meet Dickie Bush.

Yup - you can giggle under your breath. I did 😝

He’s helped over 4,000 people start writing at ship 30 for 30, and is a former black rock trader 👉 turned digital builder.

I came across Dickie through Jay Clouse and lately, Andrew Barry ( founder of Curious Lion) on a recent web 3 learning design summit.

As I opened Dickies first e-learning email ….

🚫This origin story comment stopped my scroll:

My friend Khe Hy said something that changed his life:

"Write a newsletter every week for 52 weeks and watch it change your life. Simply share what it is you're reading and learning. Worst case, you'll understand it better.

I thought… Me too, put me in coach!!!

I read and consume all of these great snippets on twitter, and I desire to share about being a hybrid entrepreneur, creating a network effect ecosystem to support other empathic, creatives such as hypnotherapists, course creators, healers, and coaches - in the (not so utopia) real world of the creator economy.

We're at a great divide (thank gosh).

I find so many people standing on the shore, seeing the wave coming, but too scared or in fear that they just can't move.

My goal is to kick off my journey in real time as I plant the $SEED Creator COIN and Holding Economy where everyone builds wealth through their gifts and knowledge within the GROWTH GUILD COLLECTIVE.

PS: I cannot thank Gary Henderson enough for being an incredible mentor and the rest of our intelligent community.

So with that said, I’m sharing Dickie’s first thread of how to write to create a movement for TWO PURPOSES…..

NUMBER1:
I want to take my ADHD tendencies of my LOVE FOR rabbit holes in research, hours of poetic writing in my own head, and never sending it out - to STOP NOW.

I’m going to build my education on short form video and writing as I formulate my thoughts of bullets through the week can be exposed to the outer ecosystem where other high achievers can follow along and learn what they want, and leave the rest.

NUMBER 2:
Im dedicated to move through my own self sabotage of hiding behind my love of learning and consuming and when it comes to “shipping it,” using “VA’s that fail my high expectations “ as an excuse.

You know that wave I was talking about?.

We are the ones we are waiting for.

I've chosen my virtual reality in confidence to support others in unslaving themselves from the matrix.

This is all of our chance to get on that wave…. Ride it, and regulate it in our nervous system in collaborative experiences so it’s not so scary

Let's fall back in love with wealth, and create our own river of flow to your land of plenty.

OK, back to the seed of this message.

My friend Jim Kwik says ….

“What you teach, you get to learn twice.”

So in this video I pressed the impromptu button and re-teach Dickies lesson on…..

Legacy Writers vs Digital Writers 101

There are two types of writers in the world today…

The first are legacy writers. These are people who still believe in the days of Hemingway and Faulkner.

To become a writer, they believe, you must smoke a pipe, stare out the window and wait for inspiration to strike.

Better yet, you must find a cabin in the woods (God forbid it has Internet), and dedicate the next 10 years of your life to write a Novel.

Considering part of me likes to think about log cabins, and I already take days to write “one new idea” in my “neurodistinct” mind….

Dickie say’s he thinks that’s a bunch of bologna.

I'll add the ketchup to the spam, Cuz it's modern day truth.

The second are Digital Writers.

These are people who, in the age of the Internet, have realized the inefficiencies keeping talented writers from being heard 50, 100+ years ago.

Digital Writers don’t run away in refuge—they incorporate their writing into their daily lives.

Digital Writers don’t write by themselves - they Practice In Public using social publishing platforms like Twitter, Medium, or like me, I’m trying out Revue.

Digital Writers don’t guess what readers want to read about—they gather data, learn what works in real time, and iterate daily.

Dickie believes there has never been a better time in human history to be a writer.

“As long as you’re a Digital Writer.”

🔍 In conclusion, let's put Writing In The Digital Age side by side

ThHE ONE big difference :

Legacy Writers like to hide their work from the world until it’s “perfect.”

Digital Writers allow the world to help them make progress on their work.

Becoming a Digital Writer is all about letting go of the need to do some big grand “reveal” with your writing.

Instead of waiting until “the big moment” (when you hit publish) to see what people think, Digital Writers test their ideas, Practice In Public, and gather feedback as they go along.

As a result, their online writing is a constant iteration.

Proven Tweets become short essays.
Proven short essays become longer articles.
Proven articles become long-form blogs & ultimate guides
Proven ultimate guides become books, courses, and so on.

Digital Writers don’t spend time working on anything that hasn’t already been tested in some way.

The end result?

Enticing no brainer (pun) ✍️ it's hard AF to be cohesive and concise

Digital Writers move 10x faster, build their audiences as they go along, and end up uncovering way more ideas (via feedback) than they ever would have come up with on their own.

So much so, he says that once you go digital, you never go back.

My next lesson? How to take a digital garden approach to writing and become a prolific writer and creator who never runs out of original ideas.

Wait. I need to hit reply to Dckie. That 12 way lane in my brain never turns off.

But I'm intrigued, so I promise you Dckie, and my community….

✋I won't hit spam and run to my log cabin and hide in high achiever perfectionism.

My vow.

Thoughts ? Relate?

❤️ Comment back - love to hear

🌤️Blue Skies, Kassandra

Becoming a master gardener of our relationships, and ourselves requires us to learn how to become intimate with the garden of our consciousness.

Initially, the seed of mindfulness develops into a wholesome formation through the repetition of returning to whatever is happening in the present moment.

Everything that affects our consciousness enters metaphorically as a seed. The work of the master gardener is that of gatekeeper and protector of the garden of our consciousness.

According to Thich Nhat Hanh, “Our mind is a field, in which every kind of seed is sown—seeds of compassion, joy, and hope, seeds of sorrow, fear, and difficulties.”

Seeds refer to all the information that enters our awareness and gets stored in our consciousness. Using this awareness, think of a typical day.

What kind of seeds or information are you allowing to enter your consciousness via the media, people in your life, and your everyday conversations?

Enjoy this short episode on how to better care for the Garden of your mind and bonus meditative journey through Affirmations versus Affirmations.

You be the judge, which feels resonant to you?

The Anatomy of Eye Skin

Your skin is the largest organ of the body, covering you from head to toe. But skin is not the same all over. The epidermis, (the outer layer of skin), is thinnest on eyelids and thickest on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet.
That thin skin breaks down faster than thicker skin does because it isn’t as collagen-rich (collagen is a protein that gives skin a supple, firm appearance) as other areas of your body.
As collagen naturally decreases with age, fine lines and wrinkles appear to be more visible on the surface of the skin. Eyes are very expressive, too. All the micro-contractions that happen to your skin as you smile or squint in the sun can cause creases in the skin over time. Plus, thin skin means that veins underneath the skin show more, which can contribute to the appearance of dark circles.

Eye skin also lacks sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, or what we think of as “oil”. That waxy substance coats and lubricates the skin. Areas without sebaceous glands and sebum are prone to dryness. Hence, fine lines and wrinkles look more noticeable on dry and dehydrated skin.

Your eye skin can also be subject to a lot of wear and tear. We touch and rub our eyes without even realizing it. Maybe you remove eye makeup every night. Over time, even light tugging can stretch out the thin eye skin and contribute to under-eye and eyelid sagging.
Eye Skin Breakdown
So, now you know why eye skin shows the signs of aging more quickly than other areas on your face and body, but did you know that different parts of the eye area are prone to different issues? Here is what you can expect in the three main areas of your eye skin.

Under-eye skin:
The delicate, thin skin under your eyes is quick to show fine lines and wrinkles. As we mentioned above, as collagen in the skin decreases, the veins and blood vessels become more prominent contributing to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. As we age, the muscles and structure under the eye weaken, which means the skin gets lax and saggy. Also, it’s a prime area for fluid retention, making the under-eye area look puffy.

Eyelid skin: The skin on your upper lids is the thinnest of all the skin on your body. That makes it extremely fragile. Eyelid sagging happens with age and also from excessive rubbing. Eyelid skin is also prone to crepiness.

Outer-eye area: The skin here crinkles up when you smile or squint, and over time, those expression lines get etched into your skin. This forms what we know as crow’s feet—those curved lines in the outer corners of your eyes.

ADHD is a rising diagnosis in our society. Tune in to learn more about the possible causes hidden at the root of ADHD, including heavy metals.

Every day we are exposed to toxins from our environment.

 We may ingest lead and copper from drinking water, phosphate from processed food and soda, various synthetic chemicals from plastic food containers, and pesticides from fruits and vegetables. 

Both natural heavy metals and man-made chemicals disrupt hormones and brain development. 

The brain, especially the developing brain, is very vulnerable to contaminants because of its large size and its high concentration of fats which serve as a reservoir for toxicants to build up. 

This episode will explain the role that heavy metals and environmental toxins play in ADHD.

In January 2016, there was a declared state of emergency in Flint, Michigan where thousands of residents were exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water. 

The corrosive water from the Flint River caused lead from old water pipes to leach into the water supply, putting up to 12,000 children at risk of consuming dangerous levels of lead. 

Lead poisoning can cause irreversible brain damage and even death, and growing children are especially susceptible to its poisonous effects. 

Even low blood lead levels reduce IQ, the ability to pay attention, motor function, and academic achievement.

Since lead poisoning causes cognitive, motor, and behavioral changes, it is not surprising that it also causes ADHD. 

Lead exposure is estimated to account for 290,000 excess cases of ADHD in US children (Braun et al., 2006). A study on 270 mother-child pairs in Belgium found that doubling prenatal lead exposure (measured in cord blood) was associated with a more than three times higher risk for hyperactivity in boys and girls at age 7-8 (Sioen et al., 2013). A larger study on almost 5,000 US children aged 4-15 found children with the highest blood lead levels were over four times as likely to have ADHD as children with the lowest blood lead levels (Braun et al., 2006).

MRI scans from participants of the Cincinnati Lead Study had striking results: childhood lead exposure was associated with brain volume loss in adulthood. Individuals with higher blood lead levels as children had less gray matter in some brain areas. The main brain region affected was the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for executive function, behavioral regulation, and fine motor control (Cecil et al., 2008).

Copper is an essential trace mineral we must consume from our food supply. It is found in oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, and potatoes. 

Like lead, copper can leach into the water supply when copper pipes corrode. 

One of copper’s roles in the body is to help produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter that provides alertness.

 However, too much copper creates an excess of dopamine leading to an excess of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. 

High levels of these neurotransmitters lead to symptoms similar to ADHD symptoms: hyperactivity, impulsivity, agitation, irritability, and aggressiveness. 

In children with excess copper, stimulant medications don’t work as well and tend to cause side effects (agitation, anxiousness, change in sleep and appetite).

 Most ADHD medications work by increasing levels of dopamine, intensifying the effects of excess copper.

 In addition, excess copper blocks the production of serotonin, a mood-balancing neurotransmitter. 

This triggers emotional, mental, and behavioral problems, from depression and anxiety to paranoia and psychosis.

The neurotoxic effects of excess copper are well known and a few studies have assessed copper’s role in ADHD symptoms. 

When researchers compared copper levels in 58 ADHD children to levels in 50 control children, they observed that copper levels were higher in ADHD children. 

ADHD children also had a higher copper-to-zinc ratio that positively correlated with teacher-rated inattention  

Now let’s move into Phosphate. 

Phosphate is a charged particle (an electrolyte) that contains phosphorus.

 Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body (the first is calcium). 

Phosphorus is a building block for bones and about 85% of total body phosphorus is found in the bones. 

Deficiencies are rare because phosphorus is naturally abundant in protein-rich foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and milk products as well as in nuts, legumes, cereals, and grains. 

Although phosphorus is an essential nutrient, too much can be problematic. The phosphate content of processed foods is much higher than that of natural foods because phosphates are commonly used as additives and preservatives in food production. 

Our daily intake of phosphate food additives has more than doubled since the 1990’s (Ritz et al., 2012). Phosphorus, especially the form found in processed meats, canned fish, baked goods, and soda is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream so levels can rise rapidly.

Phosphorus reduces the absorption of other vital nutrients, many of which ADHD children are deficient in to begin with. For instance, too much phosphorus can lower calcium levels. 

High phosphorus coupled with low calcium intake leads to poor bone health. 

The typical American diet contains two to four times more phosphorus than calcium and soda is often a major contributor to this imbalance. 

In the body, phosphorus and magnesium bind together, making both minerals unavailable for absorption.

 This is most apparent when magnesium consumption is low and intake of phosphorus is high. Researchers have found that adding Pepsi to men’s diet for two consecutive days causes their blood phosphate levels to increase and their magnesium excretion to decrease (Weiss et al., 1992).

In the 1990’s, German pharmacist Hertha Hafer discovered that excess dietary phosphate triggered her son’s ADHD symptoms. 

In her book, The Hidden Drug, Dietary Phosphate: Cause of Behavior Problems, Learning Difficulties and Juvenile Delinquency, she presents a low phosphate diet as a treatment for ADHD. 

A low phosphate diet led to dramatic improvements in her son’s behavior, well-being, and school performance, rendering medication unnecessary. 

Her family’s ADHD problem was resolved and her son had no further problems as long as he avoided high phosphate foods. 

Hafer finds that children with mild ADHD can improve simply by removing processed meats and phosphate-containing beverages like soda and sports drinks from their diets (Waterhouse, 2008).

Everyday plastic products contain hormone-disrupting chemicals, such as Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, that can migrate into our body and affect the brain and nervous system. 

These environmental toxins bind to zinc and deplete zinc levels in the body. 

Phthalates are synthetic chemicals used to make plastics soft and flexible. Phthalates are used in hundreds of consumer products and humans are exposed to them daily through air, water, and food. 

Multiple studies have linked phthalates with ADHD. Researchers assessed the urine phthalate concentrations and ADHD symptoms 

ADHD symptoms (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity), rated by the children’s teachers, were significantly associated with phthalate metabolites (breakdown products) (Kim et al., 2009).

Prenatal phthalate exposure is associated with problems in childhood behavior and executive functioning. Third-trimester urines from 188 pregnant women were collected and analyzed for phthalate metabolites. Their children were assessed for cognitive and behavioral development between the ages of 4 and 9. Phthalate metabolites were associated with worse aggression, conduct problems, attention problems, depression, externalizing problems, and emotional control (Engel et al., 2010).

In addition to heavy metals and plasticizers, pesticides can cause ADHD symptoms. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics notes, “Children encounter pesticides daily in air, food, dust, and soil. For many children, diet may be the most influential source. 

Studies link early-life exposure to organophosphate insecticides with reductions in IQ and abnormal behaviors associated with ADHD and autism” (Roberts & Karr, 2012).

Among pesticides, insecticides may be the most harmful to humans. Insecticides were first developed during World War II as nerve gases. 

They work by targeting and destroying, an enzyme that controls the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which plays a role in attention, learning, and short-term memory. 

Even organophosphate exposure at low levels common among US children may contribute to ADHD prevalence. 

Researchers at Harvard University studied more than 1,000 children aged 8-15 from the general population and found that those with detectable urinary levels of an OP metabolite were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD (Bouchard et al., 2010).

There is no doubt, that the clean beauty movement is on the rise.

Consumers walk the halls of mainstream beauty stores and have a myriad of options of “natural skincare.”
As a 15-year product formulator of Evoq Beauty Skincare, it goes without saying that I’m passionate about raising the standards of beauty, and putting my clients and consumers health back in their hands with a line and devotional practice that puts your health in your hands, heart and of course -face!

Attempting to talk about skincare without first acknowledging if you come from a holistic or mainstream school of thought is very similar to an attempt at having a constructive discussion about health without recognizing both germ and terrain theories.
The existing theories are by nature at odds with each other and then we may proceed to carry on a respectful discussion.
My intention is to provide a clear and straightforward description of both holistic and mainstream approaches to skincare and to demonstrate the impact each has on the health of the skin, our psyche and general wellbeing.

The mainstream approach seeks fast, surface-focused results. In my opinion it treats the skin very much like aspirin treats a headache: without much thought given to why the headache was there in the first place. There is not much depth in the approach as it relates to physical or mental aspects of skin health. As an example, acne can have a variety of systemic causes from hormonal imbalances, and stress, to digestive issues. The mainstream approach insists on using invasive, skin function-suppressing treatments and products as if they were able to bypass the need for addressing the root causes of the internal dysfunction which is merely presenting itself through the skin.

The sole focus on treating the surface gives way to developing a dependency on the products and treatments as the only solution. It prevents an individual from looking deeper and developing a more meaningful relationship with their body and their wellbeing. I would go as far as to say that a very limited level of consciousness is required for this type of engagement with the self. Since the actual cause of the problem is never addressed and will keep recurring, one is stuck on the path of the never-ending search for an effective topical solution.

Now...onto HOLISTIC SKINCARE
Evoq’s standards are 100% holistic.

Our skincare is driven by the principle of wholeness; that every cell, every part of us is interconnected and that we are intimately connected to our environment.

This principle is also applied by many who practice various disciplines of natural medicine.
Rather than treating just the physical symptoms of the disease, I take into account the whole person: their mental state, their lifestyle, the environment which they live in, even the cycles of nature and their effects on one’s health. All of these aspects (and more) can affect the health and appearance of your skin.

Everything comes down to vibration, vitality and longevity.

Tap in and feel the resonance of this rich “this for that” reminder episode, bringing you back to wholeness and self-love at every level.

Thank you for supporting Evoqbeauty.com for so many years - sending you love and light. You have always had my devotion.

Is it intuition and a inspired creative brain, or neurodiversity?

You're smart, you're capable, and you're passionate, but may still feel like your firing on all cylinders, but not fully fulfilled and leaning into overwhelm most of the day?

How can we shift from getting stuck?

Understanding FIRST, how your brain works.

First:

Drs Hallowell and Ratey introduced a new term for ADHD in their latest book ADHD 2.0.

Its VAST, or Variable Attention Stimulus Trait. The old term with its emphasis on pathology, on a deficit disorder is inaccurate and stigmatizing. The new term is far more accurate, allowing for positive attributes, not just negative ones.

Dr Hallowell explains the rich and complex world of VAST and how a simple change in framing can set off an entire shift in thinking and treatment.

Second:

Tap into your left side of the brain to bring in a little more balance if you (live in creative right brain), and always seek conscious questions to highlight the truth of the moment and what's needed.

If ADHD, we are always in a desert and always seeking an oasis. Low dopamine results in our brain’s lack of stimulation. As a consequence, we are driven by engagement, working memories fade without sufficient interest, and high rewards may be recklessly pursued. Low dopamine results in:

• Interest-based focus (is this what I should be doing right now to get to my big PURPOSE?)

• Memory shortfalls (I may forget birthday's, so I'll jot those down on my calendar and make sure Im caring for my physical brain with meditation, omega 3's and magnesium).

• Stimulation seeking (I'm simply a little deficient on the brain's main conductor - executive functions....so how can I make sure I'm aligned with my energy for burst and recover zones so I stay in control of addictive tendencies?)

So in summary, I am not fond of the medical model, and love to work with clients so they can understand the gifts and the boundaries needed to live abundantly by understanding a different perspective of ADHD and Creative Entrepreneur Brains.

In this episode we look at ADHD in three areas:

In a desert – with our under-stimulated minds it’s like being in a desert without water, we’re on a mission to find the oasis

Missing conductor – how the executive functions of emotional control, time sense and social “compliance” are impacted in ADHD

Seeing patterns – in ADHD the right-brain is more dominant, we are more rewarded by making connections, creativity and autonomy

And finally, bringing the unconscious - conscious, so you can live the life you desire and the success you can achieve.

Money isn’t an immutable, universal Truth—but a fluid, relative representation of value, which is always individual.

While everyone is talking about The Great Resignation, and how people are leaving jobs for pastures new, there is actually a bigger shift going on here, with people looking to find a more meaningful and purposeful way of life.

What we are seeing is the focus of where these people are going, and how they are adding meaning to their careers which is more important than what they’re leaving behind.

This awakening is the beginning of The Great Reignition.

If you are feeling a desire to elevate yourself and contribute to this movement of lifting our collective human consciousness to affect change in the world, start by surrounding yourself with like-minded people, find a network to connect with and begin reigniting your true passion, desire, and purpose.

If everyone undertook this challenge, the world would be a brighter, better place.

Which leaves us with Unicorns and Zebras.

We’ve all become used to talking about unicorn businesses – but 5.0 leaders will be aiming to create zebras, not unicorns.

Zebra businesses are interested in sustainable prosperity and fostering community and collaboration.

Their focus is on quality: quality products, quality services, and delivering quality experiences.

There is no ‘pile ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap’ in a zebra business.

And the ultimate measure of a zebra business’ success is not customer acquisition.

The measure of a zebra’s success is its customers’ success.

The question is how can you contribute the most value that is naturally already within you?

The Shocking Truth of a Brain of an Entrepreneur.

When the most creative may also be their biggest risk.

As I continue to open my mind to the new innovations of the virtual Web 3.0 mental health space, and the power of its future potential, I came across a “tweet” on Twitter, directing to this article that caught my eye.

No wonder, definitely a high-achieving woman, entrepreneur, and can identify with the shadows of mental health.

You too? This article is related to previous Awaken Beauty Podcast episodes where I share the relationship of entrepreneurs and highly sensitive’s, empaths, and overachievers.

The Hunter Farmer THeory - and how the hypervigilant nervous system can throw us off our “game.”

As I opened up “ The Brain of an Entrepreneur “ from the lead author Michael A. Freeman, my jaw dropped in both pattern recognition of what I know in my heart, the pain I feel for those that bring new innovation into the world for the better, and how we can start to dial in the stigma and freedom to those that transform the world.

Come along as I read (duh- fast thinkers don't like to read) and you’ll step into the different perspectives, research, and facts, starting with:

While entrepreneurs protect our health and the health of the planet, who is concerned about protecting them?

We should all be. Entrepreneur brain health matters to all of us, and therefore we all have a stake in the health, the brain health, and the mental health of entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneur brain differences—including genetically transmitted personality traits that affect brain functioning—give business founders their unique abilities to bring prosperity, create new jobs, build economic resilience, and achieve competitive advantages. Entrepreneurs make a difference because of their unique brain-based mental health profiles.
While most people can hold a job, very few people can start and grow a business.

Entrepreneurs—people who are self-employed with or without employees—constitute only 10 percent of the workforce, yet including those they hire, they create 30 percent of American jobs.

Entrepreneurs are our economic first responders during shock periods, and in average years they create 80–100 percent of all new jobs.

Enjoy the read, and please reach out if you have any questions on how I help High Achievers support their “High Achiever Stress DIsorder” briefed in this article.

Don’t get me started on the nuances of being a female - I’ll save that for another day.

Sending you love, and I’m here to support you in any way I can. Be sure to stream some of my other episodes on ADHD and my perspective of how expansive and life giving it truly can be, once you understand your nervous system, relief from trauma, masking and you’ll see there so much more to life that can be experienced.

I know, because I’ve been there -

Blue Skies, Kassandra
