Summary

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with ADHD. When I shared this on World Mental Health Awareness Day I received so many questions from you all about what led to this diagnosis and how it’s impacted me. In this episode, I share signs I knew something was off, the steps I took to get clarity, and why this diagnosis feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I share everything from childhood patterns to the challenges I’ve faced as an adult with memory loss, brain fog, and anxiety. I also share tools to support your life and business without letting ADHD (or any diagnosis) define you. Sponsors: AirDoctor – Get clean air in every room with the AirDoctor purifier.
