Episode 024: What is mindfulness, really — and why does it matter for your mental health?
In this heartfelt and science-backed episode of Don’t Mind Me, I’m Different, Ron Souers (aka Your ADHD Guy) explores the true meaning of mindfulness — beyond the buzzword.

With relatable stories, research-backed insights, and real talk about ADHD, depression, and being chronically distracted, this episode is like a warm bubble bath for your brain.

✨ You’ll learn:

• What mindfulness actually is (hint: it’s more than being present)

• How autopilot hijacks your joy

• Why mindfulness rewires your brain (yes, science says so!)

• Tools to build emotional regulation and self-compassion

• Why your “monkey mind” isn’t the enemy — it just needs your kindness

🧠 Whether you’ve struggled with racing thoughts, emotional burnout, or just feel disconnected from your life — this episode offers real tools to help you come back to the present moment… without the guilt.
