A low, steady hum any pitch, any tune, or just “mmm...” for a few minutes.
why it helps: Humming activates the vagus nerve, which signals your nervous system to chill out. It slows your heart rate, lowers cortisol, and helps shift you from fight-or-flight to a more regulated, safe state. For ADHD brains, it’s like hitting the “reset” button, with sound.
Try humming with your hand on your chest or lips closed, feel the vibration. That buzz? That’s your body saying, “Ahhh, safety.”
Want to amp it up? Hum along to calming music or while rocking side to side for even more nervous system magic.

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
