Hardest Questions I’m Asked as an ADHD Coach (ADHD 101)

Some of the hardest questions asked as an ADHD coach… aren’t actually the deep, emotional ones.

They’re the basic ones.

In this episode, I walk through the foundational questions about ADHD—the ones that should be simple, but often feel the hardest to answer in the moment. From “What is ADHD?” to “How is it diagnosed?” to “Is ADHD good or bad?”—we’re covering it all in a clear, honest, and pressure-free way.

This is your ADHD 101, but with some depth, and real-life application. We’ll talk about executive functions, medication, hormones, women and ADHD, and why understanding your brain is one of the most powerful things you can do.

This will clear up some of the most basic and also important ideas with ADHD, without me having to recall them all by memory in the moment.
