Summary

Sari Solden is a PIONEER when it comes to women with ADHD, and she's here today to talk about the intricacies of the struggles that women with ADHD face. From masking, to internalized social norms, to hiding, and brain shame, I predict that this episode will connect with you on a very deep level. Join me as I chat with Sari about how we can learn to embrace our differences and live authentic lives as women with ADHD. Check out Sari's books: Women with Attention Deficit Disorder and A Radical Guide to Women with ADHD (which she co-authored with Michelle Frank).
