Welcome to The ADHD Connection – 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together!
In each episode, we’ll be talking about how our ADHD has impacted us over the past couple of weeks – and using our skills as coaches to explore the ups, downs, highs and lows of living with ADHD. Because, let's face it: one way or another, it's a pretty eventful journey...
So – come along for the ride, as we talk, share, laugh, learn from each other – and figure it out as we go...
