What you’ll learn:

• Why your brain freezes in high-pressure situations (and what science says you can do about it)
• The real reason ADHD professionals struggle with task transitions and emotional reactivity
• What this research tells us about why we cry over emails (yes, really)
• Practical, science-backed tools to reset your brain after an emotional overload

There’s a reason ADHD professionals burn out faster—and it has everything to do with how we process stress. Let’s break it down.
