ADHD comes with it's own host of challenges and with the stigma historically associated with neurodivergence, can be a a point of contention for many creatives. Jen pulls back the curtain on the modes of the brain.

• Default: reflective, contemplation, rumination, day dreaming
• Active: Taking action

Thoughts lead to emotion, to the emotion, to the action (or inaction). As neurodivergents tend to lean into the default, especially when self judgement comes into play. AKA the internal shit storm.
It's about resetting the nervous system which is not an "easy" path, but giving yourself some grace is the first step. Address the initial thoughts and shift them from judgement to empathy because inaction breeds more fear and fear breeds more inaction, and the vicious cycle continues.
