 If you have ADHD and hate mindfulness or meditation… this episode is for you.

Mindfulness is often recommended in ADHD coaching for emotional regulation, executive functioning, and focus — but for many ADHD brains, it feels frustrating, boring, or impossible.

In this episode, we break down:

  • Why mindfulness can feel inaccessible with ADHD
  • Common barriers (stillness, “being bad at it,” forgetting, overwhelm)
  • How to practice mindfulness in action
  • Simple, realistic ways to start (even 30 seconds counts)

You don’t have to sit still on a meditation cushion to benefit from mindfulness. You can practice while drinking coffee, washing dishes, walking, or doing everyday tasks.

If traditional meditation hasn’t worked for you, this ADHD-friendly approach might.
