The Self Care Series: Meditation & Mindfulness for Busy Brains: A Conversation with Jude Star
Manage episode 412798434 series 2795085
In this episode of the Self Care Series, I’m excited to share my conversation with meditation teacher, Jude Star.
We are both entrepreneurs, psychotherapists, and adults with ADHD who practice meditation and mindfulness.
Many people with ADHD are confused or intimidated by meditation, have struggled to figure it out, or flat-out refuse to try, even though it can be incredibly helpful in managing our busy brains.
My hope is that this conversation will bust up some of the myths and misunderstandings, offer practical solutions, and show you how to make meditation and mindfulness fun.
Jude and I share and compare our personal journeys and the role that mindfulness and meditation play in each of our businesses and lives.
We discuss the critical role of experimentation in finding the meditation style that truly resonates with you and the power of adopting a playful “and that’s OK” approach which Jude reminds us fosters more consistent long-term motivation.
We debunk some common myths surrounding meditation, like the idea that you must adopt a particular posture, and practice dogmatically, and stress the importance of weaving mindfulness into routine activities, such as taking mindful walks.
We also tackle the misconceptions associated with meditation and ADHD, emphasizing the need for a joyful, light-hearted approach, and the remarkable brain chemistry changes that consistent meditation offers. I loved hearing Jude talk about introducing meditation to a client using what he calls the “Do Nothing” practice.

Did you take your ADHD strengths and struggles into account when you started your solopreneur business? If not, you're far from alone. Most of us started our business duplicating what we knew from working for others and chances are, it’s not working that well, especially if you work from home.
This might be the perfect time to partner with a business coach who is also a licensed therapist and ADHD entrepreneur (me) to reinvent your business with YOU in mind. We will right-size your business, create the systems and structure you need, and adjust any mindset issues holding you back.
It starts with a no-obligation free consultation to help you figure out why your business is not yet where you want it to be, and create a plan that takes mental wellness and energetic capacity into account.
