Show notes

Getting a balance to life is key to managing our ADHD but so often we just want to keep going until we're worn out.

In this episode Katie and Sam try to work out why they're so bad at having a rest. They discuss the dangers of getting bored and ask why they're so active at night.

From Sam's mindfulness to Katie's new found power of saying 'no' to friends, they look at how they can change their habits so they can give themselves a break.
