Breathe To Regulate: The ADHD-Anxiety Connection
How Shallow Breathing Fuels Anxiety, and What To Do About It
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 · 9am PT / 12pm ET · Live Webinar
Most of us breathe shallow and fast without ever noticing it, and for ADHD brains, that pattern doesn't just reflect stress, it feeds it. Shallow breathing keeps your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, which can intensify anxiety, emotional reactivity, and the racing, scattered feeling that so often gets tangled up with ADHD symptoms.
Join us October 20th for a live Coach Class with guest coach Steve Whiteley, founder of Breathe with ADHD and creator of The Calm Kids Method, on the link between breath and nervous system regulation, and how a few conscious, connected breaths can change how your whole day feels.
What We'll Cover:
The Breath-Anxiety Link — why shallow breathing keeps an ADHD nervous system on high alert
Conscious Connected Breathing — a simple technique to shift out of fight-or-flight in real time
Regulation, Not Repression — using breathwork to work with your nervous system instead of white-knuckling through it
A Supportive Space — live Q&A with a community learning to regulate together
Your Guest Coach:
Steve Whitely is the founder of Breathe with ADHD and creator of The Calm Kids Method, working with neurodiverse adults, parents, and children across London and Los Angeles. After years of masking undiagnosed ADHD while working as a comedy writer, he found that what actually quieted the chaos wasn't another productivity system, it was learning to work with his breath and regulate his nervous system directly. He now runs breathwork and nervous system regulation sessions for ADHD adults, teams, and families, helping people move from white-knuckling through the day to genuinely calming their system from the inside out.
