Tossing aside the textbook approach, my guest, Aimee of 'Free Mind ADHD Therapist', and I share raw insights from our professional and personal lives, offering a lifeline to professionals paddling through the choppy waters of ADHD. Our heart-to-heart unveils not only the hurdles of managing day-to-day operations with this neurodivergence but also the empowering strategies to keep the practice afloat while maintaining sanity.
