Summary

This Week's Episode: Julie Reichenberger is a counselor in Denver, Colorado. She primarily works with adolescents and adults with ADHD. Julie, who has ADHD herself, found accepting her ADHD to be a real struggle. In this conversation, you will hear Julie's story of discovering she has ADHD. At a certain point, she had what she calls a "final acceptance" of her diagnosis. Some of her stories involve her not being as self-aware at younger ages. We talk about the idea of whether or not things are easier if you're less self-aware. When Julie sits in the ADHD reWired Hot Seat, we talk about her struggle with naming her business.
