Listen "How gratitude rewires the ADHD brain"
Episode Synopsis
I have a confession: I used to roll my eyes at gratitude practices. Every time someone suggested "let's go around the table and say what we're thankful for," I felt my whole body tense up. It felt forced, inauthentic, and honestly, kind of cringe.
But it turns out there's actual science behind why gratitude practices can be powerful - particularly for ADHD brains. Don’t worry, this isn't going to be one of those toxic positivity messages where we pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows. Instead, we look at why gratitude feels so hard for many of us with ADHD, what the research actually says, and how to practice it in a way that doesn't make you want to gag.
