Vagus Nerve Magic: How ADHD brains can find calm

What does fight or flight have to do with ADHD? Come explore the Autonomic Nervous System with Abbie and learn how these responses affect your ADHD. Plus, don’t miss the grounding strategy we practice together—it's one I’ve personally used many times since recording. See you inside!









What do you know about the Autonomic Nervous System and its connection to ADHD? In this week’s episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we welcome resident expert Abbie J. for a bite-sized yet powerful breakdown of how the ANS impacts emotional regulation in ADHD.

Curious about what's inside?

  • Discover the different nervous systems at play, explained in a simple, digestible way

  • Why "we’re meant to be dysregulated"—and how to shift out of it

  • What micro-moments are and how they can change your day

  • Learn to be seaweed—a grounding technique that uses the slowest, most subtle movements to reset your nervous system

Thanks for being here! Until next time,
