Ever feel like your brain is stuck in panic mode, even when nothing’s really wrong? In this episode, we explore the difference between your survival brain and your thinking brain—and why understanding that difference is a game-changer for ADHD. Learn how metacognition (thinking about your thinking) can help you shift out of overwhelm, reconnect with your values, and start responding instead of reacting.
