Summary

Have you ever wondered if your struggles with organization, time management, or procrastination might be something more? Five years ago, I discovered that my challenges weren’t about discipline—they were symptoms of ADHD. Today, I’m joined by Kristen Carder, host of the I Have ADHD podcast and creator of the Focused coaching program. Together, we’ll explore why adult ADHD—especially in women—is often misdiagnosed, how to identify it, and practical strategies to live a fulfilling life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or questioning if ADHD could be a factor, this episode offers clarity and hope.
