Welcome to the I Have ADHD podcast, where it's all about education, encouragement, and coaching for adults with ADHD.

0:13.8

I'm your host, Kristen Carter, and I have ADHD. Let's chat about the frustrations, humor,

0:20.1

and challenges of adulting, relationships,

0:22.8

working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

0:26.6

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.

0:34.1

Hey, what's up?

0:35.1

This is Kristen Carter, and you've tuned into the I have ADHD podcast. I am

I just don't have the same issues as somebody who's in corporate or someone who's a doctor

1:41.8

perspectives. But before we get started, I know you're going to want to hit that like button,

1:49.5

that share button, that follow button. You're going to want to leave a comment. Tell me that you're
