Welcome back to the Nourishing Neurodivergence Podcast! After our fall break, we’re excited to bring you a powerful episode featuring Cat Evans, founder of Cat Evans ADHD Coaching, former high school teacher and college professor, and a passionate advocate for neurodivergent teens and young adults.

In this episode:

• Cat shares her journey from educator to ADHD coach, including her own late diagnosis and how it shaped her approach to teaching and coaching.
• We dive deep into common myths about ADHD, especially as they relate to women and girls, and discuss why these misconceptions persist.
• Cat and Sam explore the realities of executive function, emotional regulation, and the unique challenges (and strengths!) of living with ADHD.

Key Myths Debunked:

• “You can’t have ADHD if you get good grades.”
• “People with ADHD just can’t focus.”
• “ADHD is over diagnosed, everyone has it now.”
• “ADHD medication will harm your brain or make you reliant.”
