Virtual clinics specializing in ADHD support.
I love this podcast! It’s full of real conversations with women sharing their ADHD experiences and struggles—things that don’t get talked about enough. At the end of each episode, guests create their own term for ADHD that feels more personal than the clinical label.
A lot of adults with ADHD grew up not knowing they had it, just trying to keep up and masking without realizing it. That can take a toll over time—leading to stress, burnout, and feeling like you’re always falling behind. If this hits home, it’s worth bringing up with your doctor. Understanding your brain can make a big difference.
