She Thrives ADHD, The Podcast
On a mission to raise the profile of ADHD in females, Laura and Louise chat with people from all over the world to hear their experiences of neurodivergence, their journey to diagnosis and how the condition has impacted their lives.
After many years of not knowing they had ADHD, Laura and Louise are keen to share their and others' stories- with the world, sometimes oversharing. But that's the funny stuff.
We want to change the world, yet sometimes we can't even make a packed lunch for the kids.
