Today I am blessed to have Samantha Hiew on the show.
Samantha is a neurodivergent storyteller and social impact entrepreneur with a dual mission to:
🌟 empower girls and women with ADHD to thrive in society and
🌟 improve societal understanding of adult ADHD.
Utilising her background in communications and a medical science PhD, she produces thought-provoking digital campaigns, talks, workshops and events to destigmatise ADHD and inspire positive action within the workforce and educational settings to champion the strengths of ADHD-ers and provide critical tools to support their challenges.
