Danielle Ralston describes how overwhelm shows up in adults with ADHD: emotional dysregulation, poor decision-making, procrastination, sensory overload, and time-management struggles. She introduces Functional Chaos as a way to reduce its impact.

Chapters

Overwhelm again, it causes emotional dysregulation. It causes decision-making issues. It causes the procrastination. It causes the sensory overload. It causes time management. It causes you to be inconsistent in your business. It causes you to not be able to prioritize. So when you get to overwhelm mode, you're almost too late to recover and get back on track easily. So that's why everything that we teach around here is about not getting into overwhelm mode to not self-sabotage yourself consistently. There are pieces of overwhelm that as an ADHD. ADHD adult that we can't control. We can control how far it affects us, and that's why I teach Functional Chaos.
