Om Podcasten

In my everyday life I’m a writer and in my every-waking-second-of-my-life, I’m an adult with ADHD. I was diagnosed in my 30’s and did nothing about it and re-visited my diagnosis in my 40’s and am now with therapy, medication, coaching, and reading everything that the experts write – I’m finally coping with ADHD in what I think of as a daily recovery. On this podcast I’ll talk about my personal experiences with all of those behaviors, thought patterns, and feelings that I’ve lived with never knowing it was ADHD. I’ll also pass along what the top experts in the field of ADHD are saying – putting together research that you may not do for yourself. I want to help spread the word that ADHD is not just about productivity and focus but it’s a lack of Executive Function which impacts every aspect of our lives including relationships, and even our self-esteem. If you have been doctor diagnosed with ADHD, self-diagnosed, are ADHD curious or people have often told you, “Um, you’re kind of a lot”– this podcast is for you.
