Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD. Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

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