In this episode of the ADHD Goals podcast, we explore the benefits of meditation for individuals with ADHD. Our guest, Bob Martin, shares his unique journey from a high-powered mob lawyer to a certified meditation teacher. Bob, now a two-time published author and professor of wellness, blends Taoist wisdom, brain science, psychology, and humor to address various life challenges. The discussion covers the importance of meditation, the role of gratitude journaling, and practical techniques to improve emotional regulation and executive function.
