Structure is one of the best ways of combatting and counteracting the effects of ADHD, the same is also true for the types of exercise that work best for the ADHD brain.

Whether you are a doctor, nurse, therapist, assistant, fast food employee, delivery driver, sanitation worker, etc; you have and always will be “essential” but now that you are working endlessly and tirelessly who is taking care of you?

It’s designed to help you fight off danger, freeze if necessary or run away (flight).

Much like the inspiration for the name of this website, many women with ADHD have brilliant ideas and talents but don’t believe in themselves enough to channel these abilities.
