Episode Description
In this powerful, earnest, and deeply human conversation, Jess sits down with Sarah Ennor — international athlete, lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, ADHD advocate, and creator of The ADHD Advantage — to unpack one of the most elusive and sought-after states in high performance: flow.
Sarah shares how the only place she once reliably experienced flow was on the footy field, representing Team Canada in Australian Rules Football on the world stage. From the sharp clarity of defending a breakaway to the utter disappearance of self-consciousness under pressure, she describes how sport offered her the purest form of presence she’d ever known — and how ADHD actually enhances that experience.
Together, Jess and Sarah explore:
•Why athletic environments are often the gateway to flow
•The neuroscience of interest-based nervous systems in ADHD
•How perfectionism and overthinking disrupt high performance
•Why lawyers and high achievers often lose access to flow at work
•How curiosity (not judgment) unlocks experimentation, alignment, and self-trust
•How entrepreneurship changed Sarah’s identity, awareness, and relationship to her own brain
•Practical strategies for finding more flow — even in demanding, traditional environments
Join these two Legal Athletes for an angle on flow and the ADHD Advantage you might not have taken before, but we hope will stick with you now.
Show Description
