Description

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and Melia has some surprising news to share: she was recently diagnosed with ADHD, at age 40. 😲 ADHD is often missed in girls and women – and a big misconception is that it’s limited to physically hyperactive boys.

In this episode:

• Melia talks about her experience, the grief and relief she feels with her diagnosis, and the resources and strategies that are helping her
  
• Melia and Gill debunk five common myths around ADHD
  
• They interview Dr. Michelle Frank, a clinical psychologist who co-wrote a workbook for women with ADHD, who shares strategies for thriving with ADHD
  

Two reasons to listen:

• It’s likely that you know someone or are someone with undiagnosed ADHD whose life could change with treatment.
  
• If you don’t have ADHD but struggle with some of the symptoms, like distractibility and procrastination, you’ll likely find the same kinds of strategies helpful.
