Metacognition and ADHD: Empowering Self-Discovery

Ever feel like your brain is a messy closet with the light off? In this episode, we flip the switch.

I break down the simple but powerful practice of thought downloads—what they are (and aren’t), why they’re crucial for ADHD minds, and how they help you build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity. This isn’t journaling. It’s not a productivity hack. It’s mindfulness for your messy, magical brain.

You’ll learn:

1. Why “thinking about your thinking” is hard with ADHD (and what to do about it)
2. The difference between a brain dump and a thought download
3. How to start a thought download (even when you “don’t know what to write”)
4. Prompts to get you unstuck and curious
5. The surprising way this 5-minute practice can change everything

Grab a pen. It’s time to meet your mind.
