0:00.0	Hey, Clutterbugs. Welcome back to the Clutterbugs podcast. I'm excited for today because we're
0:10.2	actually going to be talking about ADHD, specifically adult ADHD. And we have an incredible
0:17.3	guest today. We have Dr. Heather Brennan with us from Greenville ADHD Specialists. And
0:24.7	she has an incredible TED Talk all about ADHD, an adult ADHD. I'm going to put that link down
0:31.1	below. But welcome, Heather. Welcome. Well, thanks. Thanks. I'm excited to be here.
0:36.8	Yeah. How did you get into ADHD? I know that you're a family physician. And now you pretty
