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.
