Join me as I speak with Ron Sours, a strength coach, host of the podcast "Don't Mind Me, I just have ADHD" and a passionate mental health advocate. In this powerful interview, Ron shares his personal journey of overcoming homelessness and addiction to reclaim his life.

This episode is for anyone navigating the challenges of ADHD, depression and social isolation, especially men over 40. Ron discusses his transformative coaching program, which uses a unique approach called Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP) and Fierce Kindness to help people reconnect with their purpose.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

+The importance of emotional exploration and "sitting with" your feelings as a form of self-healing.

+How to use your character strengths, such as creativity and hyperfocus, in a balanced way to avoid burnout.

+Practical strategies like journaling and time-slicing for managing an ADHD brain.

+Why asking for help is the greatest source of strength and a key to true resilience.

Ron's unique approach helps you to stop seeing your struggles as weaknesses and start using them as a GPS for life. If you’re looking for hope, healing, and practical strategies to build a more connected and authentic life, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Hosted by integrative health practitioner Sarah Dawkins, Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers is for anyone who senses there's more to their wellbeing than standard diagnoses and treatments. This podcast digs into the often-overlooked connections between our emotional histories, nervous system states, and physical health. Rather than offering another set of tips for managing symptoms, conversations here explore how unresolved trauma can manifest as chronic pain, what true nervous system regulation feels like, and practical ways to engage the body's own wisdom for healing. You'll find a focus on somatic practices and the underlying principles of natural recovery, all aimed at moving past simply coping and towards reclaiming a genuine sense of vitality. It’s a space for those ready to look deeper, questioning the root causes of imbalance and discovering a more integrated path to lasting wellness. Each episode builds on the idea that you are not just a patient to be managed, but an active participant in your own healing journey. Tune in for thoughtful, grounded discussions that bridge the gap between mind and body, offering a compassionate and insightful companion for your personal health exploration.
