When ADHD brains feel hijacked by stress or anger, movement gives that energy somewhere to go, literally. Walking at a moderate pace helps regulate cortisol, boosts dopamine, and activates the prefrontal cortex (aka: your inner CEO comes back online). Plus, rhythmic movement calms the nervous system and reduces limbic reactivity.
Pro-tip: Add a sensory layer, like listening to alpha wave music or focusing on your footfalls, to double down on the calming effect.

My experience and interests give me a unique understanding of:
- How to navigate and develop mastery in the face of huge emotions, triggers, emptiness, and relational fears
- Learn to fill yourself up and develop the peace of sustainable unconditional self-love, self-trust, and self-worth
- Go from a scarcity mindset aimed at trying to get needs met to an abundance mindset that feels the fulfilment of sharing with and elevating others
- Develop sustainable confidence and trust that isn't conditional on outside circumstances
