Relatable, Helpful, and Eye-opening
Even though I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD, I highly suspect that I suffer from it to a degree. Laila’s podcast is so helpful to me in trying to holistically navigate my ADHD symptoms, and how vulnerable Laila is makes me feel more comfortable accepting my possible diagnosis. I have been able to implement some of the suggestions from Laila’s podcast, and it has greatly improved my life. I really love the fact that Laila has credentials and experience behind her - she isn’t just some random person talking about things she’s not qualified to speak on. Also, this is a really silly thing to say, but I really find Laila’s voice nice to listen to! I have had to stop listening to many podcasts that could have possibly helped me, simply because I could not stand the person’s voice… but I could listen to Laila talk forever! Thanks, Laila!
Raw and real
I’m really glad we connected through Instagram. Your rawness makes me feel at home and open to listen and talk to you. Thank you for working on putting great things out there!
