In this episode of Thriving With ADHD, host Nada Pupovac sits down with Jaclyn Sappah, trauma and yoga therapist and founder of Wildflower Therapy Group, to dive deep into the intersection of mindfulness and ADHD in adults. Together, they discuss the challenges of starting a mindfulness practice with ADHD, simple and accessible beginner strategies for cultivating mindfulness, and why it’s normal for your mind to wander during meditation.
From practical tips on how to get started, to integrating mindfulness with other ADHD therapies, and Jaclyn’s personal journey of healing, this episode is packed with advice for anyone looking to build more calm, clarity, and focus in their life. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking for new motivation, you’ll find supportive and realistic ideas here.
Learn how daily, even very short, mindfulness practices can change your relationship with focus, mood, and self-compassion. Plus: hear how mindful movement, tracking your progress, and not beating yourself up over distractions can all support healing and growth for adults with ADHD.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Practical mindfulness for ADHD
- Mindful movement and meditation
