Alex Millerman shares his journey of understanding ADHD and finding peace through mindfulness and yoga.
In this heart-led conversation, Alex shares his journey of discovering and understanding his ADHD — from the early days of confusion and emotional struggles to finding peace through mindfulness, medication, and yoga. He opens up about learning to regulate emotions, build healthy habits, and rebuild self-trust while navigating life during and after the pandemic. Through stories of self-awareness, gentle humour, and personal growth, Alex reflects on how yoga and mindfulness became tools to balance his neurodivergent mind, transform daily routines, and embrace imperfection. This episode invites listeners into an honest dialogue about self-acceptance, resilience, and the lifelong process of learning how to slow down.
